If you've spent years battling trauma, emotional eating, or feeling disconnected from yourself, you're not alone. Healing is possible, and therapy can help you move beyond surviving into truly living. Having lost over 190 pounds myself, I've seen firsthand how deeply trauma, self-worth, and our relationship with our bodies can become intertwined. Many clients come to me after trying therapy before but still feel emotionally stuck. EMDR and other experiential therapies help clients process painful experiences—not just understand them intellectually—so lasting change becomes possible.

Hi, I’m Susana! As a first-generation Latina and mom, I understand how quickly being responsible, capable, and needed can become the way we measure our worth. Many of my clients are high-achieving women who hold it all together. Pregnancy, postpartum, or motherhood can disrupt that identity. You may be determined to give your children what you did not have, while wondering why motherhood brings you face to face with parts of yourself you thought you had healed. I also work with first-generation Latinos caught between family expectations and their own identity, where choosing yourself can feel like disappointing everyone you love.

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.
