Hilda Caquias

Dr. Caquias obtained her bachelor’s degree in psychology and mental health at the University of Puerto Rico and her doctorate in clinical psychology from Puerto Rico’s Ponce School of Medicine and Behavioral Sciences in 2010. She is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington state and certified to provide services in English and Spanish.

Dr. Caquias bases her therapeutic approach on the biopsychosocial model, focusing on holistic care and utilizing evidence-based therapies for treatment. She passionately believes that providing proper education and techniques to her patients is the key to improving their symptoms and self-perception. Dr. Caquias facilitates the therapeutic process by respecting patients as experts on themselves, promoting opportunities to look for more permanent and relevant alternatives.
Born and raised in Ponce, a small rural community in Puerto Rico, Dr. Caquias grew up with animals, big trees, creeks to swim and play, and a huge, loud family. She is the mother of two adult children. When not working, she enjoys exploring Washington, traveling, cooking, reading, hiking, and spending time with her children.
