I do have a special interest in working with LGBTQ+ folks of color, kink/BDSM, poly/CNM, sex work communities, and
Latinx
mental health.
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.

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.

As a
Latinx
immigrant myself, I am especially attuned to multicultural nuances.
Over my many years as a therapist, clinical supervisor and professor, I’ve learned that therapy is a powerful, creative process supporting your natural capacity to heal and grow. It is also true that finding motivation to begin can be hard - especially during times of uncertainty, loss, stress, and change. Since 2020, many people feel increasingly exhausted, activated, and sad. While it is vital that we center radical, mindful care of ourselves and our relationships, it is also the most exhausting time to do this work. Take a moment to feel good about your choice to seek therapy: it is a brave and hopeful act of self-compassion.

woman growing up in the city, I am passionate about individuals becoming their absolute greatest versions of themselves, despite where they come from and what they have experienced.
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.

As a
Hispanic
immigrant, I feel a genuine connection with client’s who have struggled with acculturation, language barriers, and being separated from their families.
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.

I am a bilingual
Latinx
queer therapist that uses humor and music in sessions.
I remember my own experience meeting my new therapist. I was anxious to talk to a new person. I did not know if I would make sense. I did not want to feel judged. I remember feeling lost and hopeless. The only thing I knew was that I wanted to change the bad feelings and I resisted to believe that there was something wrong with me. I wanted someone who could guide me to understand my world and myself. I wanted a safe space. I needed to find someone who could collaborate with me in changing and resisting. I did not want a therapist who treated me as a study object. I just wanted to feel fully human.

I'm an Intuitive Afro-
Latinx
therapist & healer ready to support you in your journey to lasting transformation and embodiment of your true self.
The curious paradox is when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. What I am is enough if I would only be it openly.' C.Rogers. This quote is at the core of my work as a psychotherapist. I believe that the path to healing begins with the experience of being truly seen and celebrated with all your identities and parts that make the whole of you. I make space to process the effects of trauma and any form of personal or social oppression getting in the way of embodying your true self. I am honored to support you in staying in your power and navigating the relationship to yourself, others and theworld in a more authentic way.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
