Sydney Barrera (She/Her/Hers)

Hi everyone, my name is Sydney Barrera, and I am ecstatic to be a counselor trainee at CSUB’s University Counseling Training Clinic. I graduated from CSUB in 2023 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. I lived in the Philippines for six years before attending CSUB, where I witnessed firsthand the challenges of living in a developing country and the scarcity of accessible mental health resources. Witnessing the impact of mental health on individuals and communities inspired me to pursue my master’s in counseling. I want to create a safe and supportive environment where others can openly explore themselves and navigate life’s circumstances. While I lean towards a psychodynamic approach, I am open to integrating therapeutic orientations that would work best for my clients. In my free time, I like to read books, play games, and work on arts and crafts.

Hola a todos, mi nombre es Sydney Barrera, y estoy encantada de ser consejera en prácticas en la Clínica de Formación de Consejería Universitaria de CSUB. Me gradué de CSUB en 2023 con mi licenciatura en Psicología. Viví en Filipinas durante seis años antes de asistir a CSUB, donde fui testigo de primera mano de los desafíos de vivir en un país en desarrollo y la escasez de recursos accesibles de salud mental. Ser testigo del impacto de la salud mental en individuos y comunidades me inspiró a seguir mi maestría en asesoramiento. Quiero crear un entorno seguro y de apoyo donde otros puedan explorarse abiertamente a sí mismos y navegar por las circunstancias de la vida. Aunque me inclino hacia un enfoque psicodinámico, estoy abierto a integrar orientaciones terapéuticas que funcionen mejor para mis clientes. En mi tiempo libre, me gusta leer libros, jugar y trabajar en artes y manualidades.

Hello everyone, I’m Airin Ochoa.
In 2023, I received my bachelor’s in psychology at CSUB and wanted to further my education by pursuing my master’s in counseling psychology. Now, as a trainee at UCTC, I plan to draw on my natural inclination for helping others by serving as a source of guidance and support for clients as they navigate challenges and flourish to their full potential.
Growing up in the Latinx community, I experienced how the topic of mental health was often avoided and treated as taboo. This ingrained cultural stigma leads to the underutilization of mental health services, creating barriers for individuals to access support and care they need. While working alongside my clients, I am committed to challenging stigmas and bridging gaps to promote healthier communities. Learning from my own mental health journey, I strive to advocate for and provide each diverse client with a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where they feel validated and empowered as they build their path toward resilience.
Outside of the clinic, I love spending quality time to connect with my family, friends, and pets. Some of my interests include working out, traveling, hiking, and listening to podcasts.

Hello everyone!
My name is Jorge Olvera (He/Him)
I graduated here at CSUB in 2024 with a degree in psychology. I first became interested in psychology back in high school when I took a course in psychology. At this time, I was going through a rough period in my life, so I found this subject to be extremely helpful.
I don’t have any specific populations I want to work with currently. I’m up for anything, but I do eventually want to start working with couples and maybe even specialize in them. I lean more towards a CBT approach, but I am open to trying out all approaches.
Some of my hobbies outside of the clinic include working out, collecting Funko pops, and gaming when I have the time!

¡Hola a todos!

Mi nombre es Jorge Olvera (Él/Él)

Me gradué aquí en CSUB en 2024 con un título en psicología. Me interesé por primera vez por la psicología en la escuela secundaria cuando tomé un curso de psicología. En este momento, estaba pasando por un período difícil en mi vida, así que encontré este tema extremadamente útil.

No tengo ninguna población específica con la que quiera trabajar actualmente. Estoy listo para cualquier cosa, pero eventualmente quiero empezar a trabajar con parejas y tal vez incluso especializarme en ellas. Me inclino más hacia un enfoque de TCC, pero estoy abierto a probar todos los enfoques.

¡Algunas de mis aficiones fuera de la clínica incluyen hacer ejercicio, coleccionar Funko pops y jugar cuando tengo tiempo!

Hello! My name is Breanna "Bree" (she/her/hers). My personal and professional experiences have strengthened my passion for supporting others.

As a therapist trainee, I hope to provide a warm, and supportive space for clients as we explore life's challenges.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, eating good food, listening to oldies, watching comedy shows, enjoying sports and reflecting with the "man in the mirror"--me.

Hello! My name is Marwah Alkorin (she/her/hers). I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology, with a minor in Child, Adolescent, and Family Studies, from California State University, Bakersfield. My passion for mental health grew from recognizing how many individuals lack the support and tools needed to build resilience and navigate life’s challenges. As an Arab American, I am especially passionate about encouraging greater awareness and openness around mental health within my community, where its importance can be overlooked. I hope to help make mental health support feel more accessible and approachable.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, reading, and spending time with my family!
-------------------------------------------
"¡Hola! Mi nombre es Marwah Alkorin (ella). Obtuve mi licenciatura en Psicología, con una especialización secundaria en Estudios de la Niñez, la Adolescencia y la Familia, en la Universidad Estatal de California, Bakersfield.
Mi pasión por la salud mental surgió al reconocer que muchas personas no cuentan con el apoyo ni las herramientas necesarias para desarrollar resiliencia y afrontar los desafíos de la vida. Como mujer árabe-estadounidense, me apasiona especialmente promover una mayor conciencia y apertura en torno a la salud mental dentro de mi comunidad, donde su importancia puede pasar desapercibida. Espero contribuir a que el apoyo de salud mental se perciba como algo más accesible y cercano.
En mi tiempo libre, disfruto estar al aire libre, leer y pasar tiempo con mi familia."
