Hispanic and Latino Therapists in Raleigh, NC
Do you notice the same patterns showing up in your relationships, no matter how hard you try to change? Maybe you pull away when things get tense, over-give to keep the peace, or chase closeness that never feels fully safe. I help individuals and couples recognize these unconscious patterns, understand how early experiences shape connection, and explore more aware, balanced, and secure ways of relating.

Hi, I’m Kiki Jacobson. As a financial mental health therapist, I work with clients at the intersection of money & emotions. Many people struggle with finances because of stress, beliefs, & emotional patterns around money. I help to identify core money beliefs, increase emotional awareness around money-related triggers, reduce shame by normalizing emotional responses to money, improve flexible/empowered financial beliefs, increase financial literacy & build healthier habits around budgeting & decision making. By integrating spiritual awareness, financial decisions can support not only external stability, but also inner wellbeing :)

Over the course of our lives, we are told stories about ourselves. Oftentimes those stories aren't true. Sometimes they're harmful. Usually they get in the way of us being able to truly understand ourselves and grow in the ways we want to. I work with clients to explore the stories they hold about themselves, their own definition of mental wellness, and the tools that might help them to move toward it. I am excited to offer individuals, partners, families, and friends a sacred, therapeutic space to sift through those stories, where they come from, and whether they serve you or block you from a fuller taste of joy.

Are you the eldest daughter or a parentified adult? On the outside, you’re high achieving, always showing up for others because you are dependable. But on the inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. You might second-guess your needs and desires or struggle to slow down and rest. Maybe you’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD and are trying to make sense of your experiences. Deep down, you’re ready to reconnect with your joy, heal your inner child, and live in a way that feels more grounded and compassionate.

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.
