Hispanic and Latino Therapists in Princeton, NJ

My ideal client would be an adult with issues with anxiety and depression related to trauma. I work primarily at helping clients manage stress and develop coping skills. I have worked with teenagers and young adults over the last 15 years and am comfortable with all ages. I have a license as a drug and alcohol counselor and as a clinical social work and also have a doctorate in clinical social work. I have worked in many areas of practice, including inpatient mental health and with the Latino population.

If you are looking to understand yourself better and develop an honest, open relationship with your (human) therapist, I might be a good fit for you. I have helped people survive and heal from trauma, loss, and disappointment to find a greater sense of agency in their lives. My practice is informed by research and theory, but I try to use everyday, non-technical language in my work.

Our mission at Faithlift and Hope, LLC is to instill a seed of hope in each of our clients while lifting them up in their emotional, mental and even spiritual life. We welcome all people of gender, ages, and spiritual backgrounds.

I am a bilingual therapist/life coach who is passionate about working with individuals who have been traumatized by past abusive relationships. To begin the healing process, I empower my clients to discover the root causes of their issues. I encourage them to reframe unhealthy thought patterns and beliefs. I also educate them on the importance of establishing healthy boundaries. My clients conclude treatment with actionable strategies and skills that support their overall wellness.

My group practice specializes in work with the LGBTQ+, consensually non-monogamous, and kink/BDSM communities. Are you worried that most therapists will not truly understand you or that you will have to censor yourself in therapy because of your sexual and/or gender minority status? I had these same concerns and they motivated me to become a psychotherapist who could help others like me. We will work together in a safe and relaxing environment to discover and actualize the solutions you need in order to live a more fulfilling life.

At our practice, you will be supported by a dedicated team of compassionate and caring therapists. We are a trauma-informed, community-oriented practice that only uses evidence and research-based treatment modalities for depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and other life challenges and transitions. We believe in mind/body connection, so body-oriented skills are taught and incorporated into our therapy sessions. We will teach you/work with you on integrating mindfulness, meditation, grounding, and other effective coping skills to address emotional distress, change behavioral patterns and enhance relationships. All are welcome.

Accepting new clients for NJ and PA! You’re a genuine adult who gives time/energy towards trying to keep everything under control. But it hasn’t been simple. Perhaps you’ve gone through a trauma and feel it keeps haunting you. Or maybe you’ve experienced some relational stress and it's been hard to connect with others intimately in a friendship, romantic relationship, or with relatives. But you want better for yourself. You don’t just want to survive through life or walk in shame. You want to accept every part of you, even after your trauma or relational stress. Building a healthy view of yourself is not out of your reach.

My ideal client would be a middle-aged woman struggling with depression and anxiety and grieving the loss of a child, husband, or a close family member. I would start by assessing her needs and using the Beck depression inventory scale and the Beck depression anxiety inventory scale. I would use grounding techniques and CBT, such as scheduling activities, positive affirmations, and psycho-education on depression and anxiety. I would also encourage journaling, writing five things for which they are thankful daily, and writing letters to the deceased person.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have someone by your side, offering warmth and understanding as you navigate life's challenges and transitions? With over 15 years of experience, I have dedicated myself to being that supportive presence for individuals like you. My passion lies in assisting a diverse range of populations, including those struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, and other neuro-diversities. Understanding the importance of inclusivity, I am committed to being gender-affirming and neuro-diverse affirming in my approach.

The primitive brain can take over, when it does we can be harsh on ourselves and carry feelings like an anchor. When one area of our life is off, it impacts others areas like a leaky faucet too slow to notice and life begins to flood. We know to swim to survive but don't think float to save our energy. This struggle leads to exhaustion and a series of emotions that create new issues. Hurt people; hurt people. Becoming present & reflecting, leads to peace. If we could take a step back to see what needs solving? Things are not black and white, there is a lot of gray in between; things can co-exist. www.mindfulmindscounseling.com
