I never thought of it like that... This a phrase I often hear from my clients as I challenge them to think outside the box and embrace different perspectives and approaches. It's essential to ensure your unique story is known, seen, and heard. . I help children, adolescents, and adults learn to identify and express their feelings and develop coping strategies to deal with difficult situations.

You feel like you are living two different lives. On the surface, you are capable and composed. Underneath, you are exhausted by a relentless internal critic and a cycle of "what if" thoughts that you cannot seem to outrun. It feels like a part of you is constantly sabotaging your peace, pushing you toward perfectionism or rituals just to feel safe for a few moments. You have tried to logic your way out of these feelings, but the roots of this anxiety go deeper than logic. You are tired of the mask. You are ready to understand the parts of yourself that have been running the show from the shadows.

Reaching out to a therapist is the first and most important step you can do to help yourself. I understand that opening up to a new person is difficult, it is important to develop a rapport with a patient-therapist, so trust is built.

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.
