Hispanic and Latino Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) and Latinx LCSW, who prioritizes providing a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for all. I work with diverse clients in reducing and managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD – helping them to create healthy boundaries, strategize ways to approach difficult familial issues, processing loss, and other components that impact our daily lives such as race and cultural identity, work stress, career transitions, and burnout. My goal is to help each client to achieve a better understanding of who they are and how they perceive themselves in the world.

All human beings want to be seen, understood, & accepted. Therapy can be a safe & intimate space for such an experience. As a therapist, I believe we all need someone to empower, validate, & actively listen to us in an empathic way, which is what I thrive to do. I help in navigating life transitions and processing emotions, thoughts, and experiences that cause distress. I specialize in anxiety, self-doubt, decision-making, low self-esteem, processing shame and trauma, coping with Latinx family trauma, 1st gen. stress, the BIPOC experience, and childhood trauma.

I have worked with a diverse population of individuals in my 5+ years of experience as both a social worker and a counselor in NY. Cultural competence is something that I take pride in as a counselor, especially working in this melting pot of a city. In many cultures, there is still a stigma attached to Mental Health, I know this firsthand from my own experiences as a Latino . This makes it difficult for some to even think about going to therapy at all. Therefore, it is important for me to build a therapeutic relationship based on understanding, empathy, and genuineness so that you may feel comfortable in a non-judgmental setting.

I have a Masters in Science (MS) in Clinical Psychology Specialization Applied Research from Capella University. I'm also a Scholar-Practitioner at Capella University in a Doctor of Business Administration program (DBA) with Capella University and Franklin University. Im also continuing my 2nd Masters Degree in Professional Studies in Fashion Marketing (MPS) at Lim College. I'm a practicing Fashion Psychologist with Vogue Club, because Fashion Psychology utilizes therapy theories like "Retail Therapy, Dopamine Dressing and Wearapy." I can advocate for you with your health care company and the (OTDA) Fair hearing Office in NYC.

Does it feel like you have no energy and feel like something is holding you back, but you can't put your finger on it? Do you want to talk to someone but struggle with feeling that you will be judged? Therapy can help you to find a path in life that is more fulfilling. It provides a safe space to express the thoughts and address stressors (depression, anxiety, trauma and/or relationship stressors). My goal as your therapist is to show up for you unconditionally and support you in your journey towards feeling your best.

Over a decade working with young adults, millennials, BIPOC, Latinx , individuals experiencing chronic illness, new moms, and those who have experienced complex trauma.

We all possess the medicine to heal what ails us, but sometimes all we need is a little guidance to remember that wisdom. With the right support we can persevere through any obstacle.

Welcome! My name is Meztli (pronounced like Nestle but with an ‘M’). I have been providing therapy to people of diverse backgrounds for over 5 years. Many of the individuals who seek my services are marginalized communities, including the Latinx and LGBTQ communities (se habla Español).

I offer an empathetic and safe environment to explore issues that are important to you and your personal growth.

*Email me only please. I journey with women/non-binary folx in my practice! I am a trauma alchemist, whose client population mostly consists of (but is not limited to) Latinx and Black- powerful cycle breakers. I engage in transformational work with survivors of childhood trauma, toxic friendships, mother-daughter dysfunction, father wound, poverty trauma, spiritual abuse, imposter syndrome, immigration/acculturation & gaslighting. Trauma manifests in many forms including: anxiety, depression, hyper-vigilance, codependency, people pleasing, self-criticism, and difficulty regulating emotions.

As a Latinx therapist, I feel strongly that we heal most effectively when treated as a whole person instead of a diagnosis, a trauma, or a bunch of symptoms. Having openness to unlearn unhelpful patterns that keep appearing in your life is key to acceptance. I help Hyper-Independent adults, on a healing journey; unlearn unhelpful patterns that resist their acceptance of what is. We will work towards your desired goals in exploratory ways by connecting mindfully, creating self-love by holding boundaries, & creatively connecting to your joy. My core values & strengths surround compassion & empathy, these shape my practices.

Like many people as of late, you might be reevaluating life. If you came across this page, you're probably looking for an experienced, trained professional to help you process your thoughts and feelings. Now more than ever, people are seeking therapy. You're not alone, but you are a unique individual. Your life experiences, cultures, sexuality, and gender identity are just a few of the components that intersect to make you, well, you. Together, we can explore how these intersecting identities and your cognitive-behavioral patterns come together to create your experience, your life.

As a therapist my priority is to cultivate a safe, compassionate and respectful environment. Hearing your story allows me to connect by giving me a deeper understanding of your experiences. I find that an honest and genuine relationship is the primary ingredient to create meaningful changes together. You are the expert of your life and I am eager to learn from you; it will be an honor to guide you in fostering a holistic relationship with yourself in which mind, body and soul are equally important. With a strong therapeutic bond, I believe I can help you navigate through the obstacles thrown your way to rediscover hope and purpose.

Hey! I'm Anastasia. I draw on my experience growing up as a queer, Hispanic New Yorker to provide social justice-informed trauma therapy. My approach is anti-racist, LGBTQIA+, Poly, and Kink/BDSM affirming, centering you and your needs.

I specialize in anxiety, depression and woman's issues. I believe in client centered work and meeting individuals where they're at. One method or therapeutic style does not work for everyone, and I believe in being present and non – judgmental. These are core principles in building a healthy therapeutic alliance. I have held many hats and played many roles in the field and have worked with a wide range of individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I help individuals gain insight and confidence that they can navigate through the world on their own speed and time, helping them to appreciate their process and be proud of whom they are.

Hi, my name is Nicholas. I’m a Latinx , Middle Eastern, Jewish, and queer Psychotherapist. My multicultural upbringing, experiences with immigration, and being from a low-income household have inspired me to help people who experience systematic violence because of how they identify. I provide a supportive, authentic space where we can dive into root causes of problems, and utilize social justice and trauma-informed approaches. I’ve worked with people of all ages in English and Spanish on issues surrounding their LGBTQ+ identities, substance use, violence, abuse, complex diagnoses, forced migration, and family systems.

Have you been feeling down or anxious? Started using alcohol and/or other substances more than usual? Questioning certain aspects of your identity? Therapy is designed to help address these issues and more. Our work together would provide a space to work on how you think, feel, and behave. It would help bring cravings and drug use back under control. Above all, it would help you better understand who you are as a whole person. I work with a variety of populations including adolescents, those with mood and anxiety issues, active substance users, LGBTQIA+, and persons of color. Licensed in NY/NJ. Note I am a queer Latino cis male.

As a mental health counselor, I emphasize authentic connection, compassion, and empathy. As a queer Latina, I am mindful of my own story, how it has shaped my worldview and most of all the importance of cultivating a space of inclusivity. My approach to therapy is rooted in a feminist-multicultural framework that integrates psychodynamic, relational, somatic and mindfulness-based practices. Meaning, I attend to the ways relationships shape and affect us, experiences of power and oppression, and focus on empowering clients to heal in ways that are consistent with their values.
