As a Latina/mother/daughter/wife, I understand the difficulty of making time to prioritize my wellness. As people of color we often hear " we have gone through worse and didn't need therapy" "our people don't need therapy, thats a white thing" "tu no estas loca." These expressions are meant to celebrate the resiliency of our people but beneath the surface they are damaging. By denying our humanity, we downplay the effects mental illness can have on us, our family and our community. We ignore our own pain and suffering, in an effort to show our "strength."
Ask yourself: If the person you love most, was suffering and there was a treatment to ease that pain, would you tell them to just be strong and tough it out? I have a hunch that you would guide them towards healing. You too Deserve Healing and I can Help.
Everything you need to live the life you want is already in you ~ This is the core belief that guides my therapeutic work. Together we will nurture the strengths that have led to your resiliency and we will develop a plan that is unique to YOU and YOUR needs
