Couples Counseling with a therapist who “gets it” is often just what is needed for a relationship that is struggling, in conflict, on its last legs, or when it is going through transition. Sometimes relationships are in crisis due to infidelity or the discovery of pornography use. Couples counseling is proven to be very helpful in these situations, resolving relationship conflicts such as sexual problems, financial conflict, disagreements over parenting issues, or communication problems among other issues that arise in relationships.

Creo que es muy bonito sanar junto a alguien que conoce bien el camino. Caminar con alguien que te puede cubrir con paraguas si llueve, con un abrigo si hace frio, con risas si es largo el camino. Tengo mucha experiencia (25 a!n!os) sanando todas las condiciones y edades (desde 4-100 a!n!os), entrenando estudiantes de medicina, psicología y trabajo social con gran humildad. Utilizo muchos métodos para curar: hipnosis, terapia narrativa, limpias, reiki, constelaciones, grupos de madres e hijas, de tejer, de jugar, de familias. Escuchar las historias de las personas es una gran bendición en mi vida y seria un placer escuchar la tuya.

Do you feel like you’re constantly overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for everyone else's needs? You may look like you have it together on the outside, but inside you’re anxious, exhausted, and disconnected from yourself. I specialize in working with adults navigating chronic anxiety, OCD patterns, trauma, and people-pleasing tendencies, especially women who feel stuck in perfectionism or over-functioning in relationship. Together, we explore deeper patterning to allow you to feel more grounded and connected to self.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.

Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.

How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.

Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
