My name is Hertzen Vilela and I am a licensed psychologist abroad and a LMHC in the US. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in working with adults and young adults who are facing a variety of mental health challenges, including trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, cultural difficulties, work-related stress, and issues surrounding sexuality and self-esteem. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard, understood, and supported.
In our initial sessions, we will work together to identify your areas of concern, clarify your expectations, and set meaningful therapeutic goals. Drawing on my diverse cultural background, I emphasize empathy and believe that every individual is more than their symptoms—each person is unique and worthy of respect.
I am passionate about this work because I believe in the transformative power of therapy to help people lead healthier, more fulfilled lives. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they work through their challenges and build a future that aligns with their values and aspirations.
