Counseling and Therapy

Counseling and Therapy

We are committed to providing comprehensive mental health care to address a variety of needs throughout a woman’s lifespan. We help clients heal from anxiety, depression, dysphoria, trauma/stressors, and more, teaching them constructive coping skills and healthy thinking to promote healing and improve well-being. We help clients identify patterns in their lives that may contribute to struggles and work on developing strategies for making healthier choices. We focus on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. We combine conventional and non-conventional therapies to treat mental health issues and aim to address the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to mental health: mental, physical, emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual. Our specializations are women’s mental health, integrative mental health (IMH), and multicultural counseling/therapy. We are inclusive, affirming, culturally competent, multicultural mental health providers for all women. We welcome and serve cisgender, transgender, intersex, non-binary, and woman/feminine identities and all ethnic, cultural, racial, and religious communities. We are qualified, culturally competent, and culturally sensitive, and have lived experience in the women, POC, veteran, Hispanic/LatinX & LGBTQIA2S+ communities. We offer in-office and telehealth appointments, and we are bilingual (English/Spanish). As a teaching practice, we offer site supervision for graduate students and clinical supervision for provisionally licensed clinicians.
