Supporting young people in finding their voice, confidence, and resilience. Growing up can feel overwhelming — and so can parenting through it. I work with children, teens, and their families to help navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, trauma, school struggles, and family conflict. My approach is warm, collaborative, and creative, meeting each person where they’re at.

I believe that every person - young or old - has strengths, even when they can’t yet see them, and I work to help children, teens and parents identify and build on those strengths. Together we’ll explore what’s getting in the way of feeling better and develop tools to cope, communicate, and grow.

I bring experience working in residential and outpatient settings with youth, as well as specialized training in trauma-informed and developmentally appropriate care. Whether you’re a parent seeking support for your child or a teen ready to reach out yourself, you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s start where you are.

Teletherapy LGBTQ+ Support/Process Group

Hosted by

Gloria Aguilar

Born as a response to current political climate, this is a teletherapy group for queer folks to find a safe space to navigate and process emotions, thoughts, and experiences. The group follows a trauma informed, and intersectionality-aware lens. To establish safety, clients will begin by learning distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills. In tune with group needs, we will wrap up sessions by debriefing and/or practicing mindfulness. **A Hispanic/Latine support/process group with a similar goal will also be available. Hablamos Español. Check out our website for more information.
