Hi, my name is Quetzalli (ket-saw-lee) Avilez (feel free to ask me how to pronounce my name). I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been working in this field for 7 years. Some approaches you will see with me are cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, EMDR, strength-based perspective, and client-centered approach. In my approach to therapy, I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and respected. My goal is to empower you to grow and heal in a way that feels true to who you are.
Typical clients I work with all adults with a primary focus on working with BIPOC communities (Black, Indigenous, and people of color). By honoring and integrating cultural backgrounds—whether through language, traditions, family dynamics, or community values—I can provide therapy that feels more relevant, respectful, and empowering.
As a Latina, I apply a cultural lens, especially when working with the BIPOC community, to honor and support your cultural values, dynamics, and identity. My ultimate goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to truly feel like you can open up.

I understand that therapy is vulnerable work, and I work to ensure a safe, non-judgmental space for you to truly feel like you can open up; you're welcome to show up exactly as you are, no filters needed. Also, I like to create an environment that honors authenticity, feels relaxed, and an environment that welcomes humor and lightness as well.
