Hi, I’m Melissa, a therapist for females (18+) who feel anxious, depressed, burned out, stuck in situationships, replaying the same arguments, or doubting their worth. If you’re tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, and pretending you’re fine, you’re not “too much” — you’re just unsupported. My sessions are soft —a place to vent, cry, cuss, and finally say the things you’ve been holding in. I’m real, genuine, and evidence-based to help you heal, grow, and handle the chaos of life, love, and everything in between. Show me his pic, read me the texts, spill the tea (or chisme)—I’m here for it all. Request a Session: www.PinkPsy,com

I know how it feels to need support when times in life get challenging and I want you to know that it is always a strength to reach out for help. My therapeutic mission is to provide a safe, trusting, and trauma-informed environment for you to feel comfortable expressing yourself (even if it is for the first time). Vulnerability can be uncomfortable if you have never had a safe space to share your innermost thoughts/feelings, so let me be that safe space for you.

Hi! I’m a virtual therapist with openings this week! I grew up in a multicultural household where being the firstborn Mexican female held a lot of expectations and responsibilities, oftentimes, with little emotional support. While I identify as Mexican, I’m not fluent in Spanish. I know it can be difficult to seek services, but if you’re looking for guidance or a place to vent, you’ve found the right person. I create a safe and comforting space for all of my clients that allows them to talk about various topics without judgement. When I'm not working, I enjoy gaming with friends and reading. While we work together, my cat may visit!

You don’t have to white-knuckle it through life until you crash. If you’re stuck in anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, shame, self-criticism, or repeating relationship patterns, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Symptoms are often signals: something deeper is asking for attention. Therapy can help you understand what’s driving the struggle beneath the surface, so you can stop living on autopilot and start moving forward with clarity, strength, and self-trust.

I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your past experiences, work through current challenges, and build on your strengths.

I can help you understand underlying patterns that are not initially in your awareness.

The outside world sees the capable mask you wear, but inside you are constantly preoccupied with not feeling good enough. You wonder if you really belong anywhere in your life. The trance of unworthiness haunts every area of your life. It’s impossible to feel you’re loveable given all your flaws. There is a longing to feel seen, heard, and understood for exactly you are. The reason why you keep going is because there is a small ember of hope in you that knows that things can be different, but you’re unsure of how to get there.

Healing from religious trauma? LGBTQ and need affirming therapy? My ideal client is an individual or couple seeking a safe, affirming space to better understand their relationships, identity, and life transitions. They may feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, disconnected from their partner(s), or weighed down by old stories that no longer serve them. They want clarity, emotional safety, and deeper connection. Their goal is to create more aligned, authentic narratives—so they can experience healthier relationships, improved communication, and meaningful, lasting change.

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.
