Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Brookline Village, MA

Are you looking for culturally sensitive, creative therapy? I provide culturally sensitive support to individuals seeking virtual counseling for depression, anxiety, transitions, inner peace-finding, and life coaching and planning. I help my clients feel more comfortable within their own bodies and life. I specialize in women's issues, stress and relationship issues. I also support art therapy and helping clients create safe comfortable spaces for everyday living through home design planning. I also provide support to other mental health LMHC professionals who need supervision towards licensure.

Going to therapy implies the courage to question ourselves and face the challenges that get in the way of self-acceptance. Our lives change and we often struggle to change with it. I believe therapy can be a transformative encounter that allows a different experience of ourselves. As a native Spanish-English speaker, I provide a culturally sensitive approach to therapy and am mindful of race, gender, sexuality, and class intersections. My background and my current role as a clinician at Harvard University Counseling and Mental Health Services have allowed me to work with patients from all over the world.

Do you sometimes question your values or direction in life? Do you feel successful in some areas, yet struggle with loneliness or relationships? Perhaps anxiety, depression, or substance use hold you back from experiencing true joy. You're not alone. In today's complex world, many feel lost and struggle to discover their purpose and meaning in life. I'm a therapist who helps people explore these existential questions. I create a safe and supportive space for you to delve into your beliefs, values, and purpose. For clients with a Jewish background, I provide culturally sensitive therapy to explore faith and identity.

I believe all individuals are capable of healing and growth. Having a safe, trusting relationship with a therapist can be an important part of that process. In my practice, I aim to create an open space for us to work towards your goals while allowing you to feel heard, cared for, and accepted.

Do you have trouble prioritizing yourself or often feel guilty when doing so? Do you feel anxious, burnt out, or just stuck? Do you wish you could change some aspect of your life for the better? You deserve to feel better and to be empowered in creating the life you want for yourself. We can work together to get you where you want to be. My therapeutic approach is culturally sensitive, person-centered, and strength-based. I've been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts since 2018 and National Certified Counselor (NCC) since 2016. I have 11 years experience in the community mental health sector.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Whether you are looking to bolster your self-esteem, manage your depression, process trauma, or you are just seeking a space for support, I view our treatment as a vehicle to support you in better understanding yourself. Whatever may bring you into my office, together we will determine the best path forward to achieve your goals.

I have over 10 years of therapy experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, conflicts around cultural identity, life transitions, and academic and career struggles. I work pragmatically and collaboratively with clients while providing a warm, welcoming, culturally-sensitive, and interactive psychotherapy space. In a collaborative manner, we explore patterns of thinking, feeling, relating, and behavior that contribute to unfulfilling relationships and struggles at home, school, or work. We work together toward making emotional and behavioral shifts that lead to increased purpose and fulfillment.

**Availability on Monday evenings** Therapy can offer a space for healing, growth, and self-care. I have over 15 years of clinical experience helping those with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addiction, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, parenting struggles, life changes, and identity issues. My style is collaborative; working together to create a compassionate, non-judgmental, and comfortable space to identify your goals and gain the courage to see them through.

Having a solid therapeutic relationship is essential to the success of your experience in therapy, and I am committed to creating a space in which you will feel safe, deeply heard and seen, and can be a collaborator in the therapeutic process. I believe in creating a mutual alliance built upon honesty, empathy, trust, and respect. Together, we will explore the challenges and obstacles you face, while identifying personal strengths and other resources that will help facilitate meaningful change and growth.
