Welcome
Experience
I am a psychotherapist and diplomate in clinical social work, geographically located in Sacramento, California. I have been practicing as an independent Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years, and more generally have been a social worker for over 30 years, conducting education, research, consulting, and clinical work. I work with people living with chronic health and mental health conditions, with those struggling with their identities and making meaning in life, with those negotiating sexuality and gender, and with adults having un-/expected challenges in relationships, work, and beyond.
Continual work focused on social change
In addition to private practice, I hold a Ph.D. in Social Welfare and several synergizing positions. I am a Professor of Social Work in an accredited School of Social Work. I consult with license-seeking clinicians and community and state organizations, provide trainings and workshops, teach and mentor graduate students, do public speaking and invited talks, and I conduct and publish critical health research. Prior to private practice, I have worked in both in- & out-patient medical/psychiatric settings as well as community-based organizations, all of which focused on trauma, mental health, and chronic health conditions including HIV/AIDS.
I'm not a robot
Alongside my professional work, it is important to know that I am not a robot. Rather, I am an engaged citizen committed to social justice, health equity, and community wellbeing. I am also domestically partnered in a bilingual, interethnic, and transcultural relationship, and I am a coparent for two children.
Goodness of fit
If you think I may be a “good fit” with you, please connect with me today via 206.353.8607 or DrTylerArguello@gmail.com. Please note that, currently, I am only conducting therapy via HIPAA-compliant telehealth. If you are outside the state of California, please contact me about telehealth options.
Ketamine assisted psychotherapy
I am a KAP Provider
I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): the use of ketamine as a complement to psychotherapy. I deliver KAP in my practice in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical, which has a specialized medical team that determines medical eligibility for KAP, prescribes ketamine lozenges, and supports me in monitoring outcomes. If interested, contact me to discuss eligibility and next steps. Also, I am happy to discuss KAP if you already have a psychiatrist. You can find more information about KAP and Journey Clinical.
