I am a licensed professional counselor associate and a doctoral candidate in the Counselor Education and Supervision program at the University of Texas at San Antonio. As an undergrad, I experienced dissonance with my culture, heritage, and language, and struggled to find community and academic belonging as I navigated shifting identities and felt disconnected from my Latine roots and native language. Although challenging, this chapter led to my first counseling experience, transforming the identities I once perceived as sources of shame into powerful assets that continue to shape and inform my counseling identity and approach.

You're the one everyone relies on-the one who holds it all together, shows up, and keeps going even when you're exhausted. On the outside, things may look fine. On the inside, you might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to break. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you don't have to keep doing it this way. I have extensive experience in supporting individuals, couples, and families in their most vulnerable moments. I bring a calm, grounded presence to situations of anxiety, trauma, and emotional distress.

I'm Lara, and I help overwhelmed moms who are carrying it all — the emotions, the decisions, the schedules, the invisible weight that no one else seems to see.
If you’re feeling anxious, exhausted, and like you’ve lost yourself somewhere in the chaos of motherhood, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep doing this alone, either.
As an LPC and mom of three, I deeply understand what it’s like to feel stretched thin, emotionally drained, and unseen. My work centers on helping women navigate the mental load of motherhood, find space to breathe, and reconnect with themselves.

Our gathered thoughts about any situation play a critical role.
Our attitude and perception over an extended period of time determines overall state of mind, that in turn affects our outlook on life. Unresolved issues, focusing on our down falls, over thinking about past events, determines our present life situation, our coping mechanisms, our choices and relationships.

As a proud Mexican daughter and bilingual LPC-Associate, I offer culturally responsive therapy in English and Spanish.
I often work with young adults and BIPOC individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, cultural expectations, or major life transitions. Many are used to keeping it all together while quietly carrying the weight of others’ needs. They want a space where they don’t have to explain their background or shrink themselves. In therapy, we work on reconnecting with their voice, honoring their story, and gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them — so they can move forward feeling more grounded, seen, and supported.

You are struggling with emotions, feeling out of control in managing these emotions and daily you feel like screaming, What The Fuck! Well, that is many of us who learn unhealthy ways in which to cope, so that we can tackle all of our daily responsibilities and show our strength and resilience to the people in our lives. This can only be done for so long, until you actually feel yourself unable to keep the real emotions inside of yourself. That is not a healthy way to exist, although up to this point it has worked. This is your way of surviving childhood trauma, complex trauma and emotional pain but now you want to thrive!

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Counseling
What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic or Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, or Colombian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between English and Spanish in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counselor here.
How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in Spanish or another language? You may also ask about specific examples of when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
