Hispanic and Latino Therapists in San Francisco, CA
I am a gay, Latinx trauma therapist who uses evidence based practices that include, but are not limited to: CBT, Trauma CBT, DBT, MI, ACT, and IFS.
Having worked with populations affected by inter generational, socio-economic, and intersectional identities, I always prioritize asking: How do we navigate environments that don’t, or can’t, understand who we are? How do we show up for ourselves in the most authentic way? These are questions I look forward to helping you integrate into your life together.

I am a Gay, Latino, Bilingual, Bicultural therapist that works from a foundation in CBT and ACT.
Since the pandemic there has been an increase in folks struggling with depression, sexuality issues, chronic illness, addiction, and having problems in relationships. I believe that therapy can help develop skills to face life's challenges. All individuals have the capacity to change and live a full life based on their core values. Therapy is a place to examine your principles and how you can use them as a compass to lead you to a life that more accurately reflects your values. Learning strong coping skills and an awareness of reactions vs responses can provide relief from chronic issues of depression and anxiety. Change happens!

I identify as a Hispanic and Pacific Islander therapist who understands the impact of cultural issues, discrimination and mental health stigma.
There may be so many painful and powerful memories that brought you here, stringing along with them the thoughts and emotions that continue to have a negative toll on your daily life. You disconnect, you zone out, you freeze, you run. You may have asked yourself, “Why can’t I just let all of this go and move on?” People in your life may have asked you the same question. Maybe you already tried to take care of the issue yourself, you tried going down so many different avenues to heal and you worked doing so. I’d like to honor that. Now you’re here, trying a different path. So, let’s let's try something new. We'll travel together.

As a Queer Latinx cis-gendered-male therapist of color, I am proud to be a representative of my often-marginalized communities.
Are you currently searching for a sense of meaning and purpose in your life? Do you find yourself in an existential/spiritual emergency? Are you exploring your personal identity, expression, or sexuality? I help people of all ages increase self-awareness and decrease symptomology by bringing unconscious material into conscious awareness. Mental health concerns eventually arise because deep in our mind/body/soul we yearn for authenticity/individuation. Together we can explore which aspects of ourselves that no longer serve us to let go, in order to make space for something new to enter.

As a first-gen, Latinx therapist, I understand what it’s like to live in between roles, cultures, and expectations.
You’re thoughtful, creative, and usually the one others turn to — but lately, you’ve felt stuck or overwhelmed. Maybe you’re replaying old patterns, second-guessing your voice, or carrying pressure from your family, culture, or past. You want more than just coping — you want to feel like yourself again. You know you’re capable of growth — you just want support that gets you

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
