Hi, I'm Karina Aquino, first generation Latina, bilingual, and hard of hearing Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about providing an authentic and unique interpersonal space for my clients to promote autonomy, healing and personal growth. I have experience working with range of clients of different ages, ethnic/cultural background, disability status, and mental health challenges. I strive to foster a safe, empowering and collaborative interpersonal space in therapy to navigate each unique client's experiences and goals. I am fluent in English and in Spanish.
I believe that the interpersonal experience is the key to understanding a client's unique narratives, experiences and intersecting identities that assist in gaining insight towards mental health challenges and life experiences. I strive to promote self-reflection, change, curiosity, self-growth and self-acceptance. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy.
I am committed to providing a holistic, socially just, and collaborative perspective to foster a safer, non-judgemental, and meaningful interpersonal experience. I emphasize the importance of transparency and honesty within the therapeutic space to allow honest communication, accountability, openness and humility.
