Are you Latinx and in need of mental health support?
Are cultural challenges, recent changes, or past wounds affecting your emotional well-being?
​
Has a transition or move made you feel disconnected or alone?
​
Are you looking for support from someone who speaks your language and understands your culture?
​
Whether you grew up here or immigrated recently to the United States, issues of cultural identity and language barriers can influence your quality of life. You may feel isolated, far from your loved ones, or struggling to form meaningful connections. It might feel easier to hide what you're feeling than to share it with others.
​
Over time, avoiding your emotions can lead to disconnection, anxiety, or sadness. You might notice you feel exhausted, restless, or stuck in a routine that no longer works for you. Perhaps you’re overworking, withdrawing from others, or relying on distractions to avoid discomfort. Communication barriers may also be affecting your ability to connect with others.
​
Feeling stuck is common, but you are not alone.
​
When you’re experiencing low self-esteem or a lack of motivation, your confidence can take a hit. You might avoid social situations out of fear of judgment or feel disconnected even from the people you love most. You want to improve your relationships and your well-being but aren’t sure where to start.
​
​Working with a Spanish-speaking therapist who understands your cultural reality can make a big difference. Our Spanish-speaking therapists — Rafael Harrington, Sofia Rowan-Martin, Rebecca Berry, and Jonathan Sosa — are here to offer you a safe space, culturally informed support, practical tools, and guidance throughout your healing journey.
Life transitions and emotional challenges are part of the human experience
Many people face depression, anxiety, or stress—especially during major changes like moves, loss, job transitions, or new family dynamics. These moments can impact our emotional balance, even when the changes are welcome.
​
For immigrants or bicultural individuals, these challenges are often compounded by the pressure of balancing cultures, caring for family, navigating language barriers, or coping with experiences of discrimination.
​
Stigma and cultural identity issues can prevent some communities from getting the help they need.
​
Although there is growing openness to therapy within the Latinx community, myths still exist that keep people from seeking help. Many of us were raised with values like strength, self-reliance, and the importance of family. Asking for help can feel like a sign of weakness—when in reality, it’s an act of courage and self-care.
A Spanish-speaking therapist can help you face these challenges with respect and understanding.
Through an approach adapted to your cultural context, we’ll help you develop tools to manage stress, improve communication, and strengthen your identity and self-esteem.
​
What to expect in therapy
​
During the first session, you'll be able to share your goals, emotional symptoms, and personal story. You’ll also have a chance to get to know the therapist, ask questions, and make sure it’s a good fit for you.
​
We use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness practices, and other integrative strategies that support resilience, self-compassion, and deeper connection with yourself and others. Sessions can be weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on your needs and pace. Many people choose online therapy, which is just as effective as in-person therapy and offers greater flexibility.
​
You don’t have to go through this alone.
​
We know taking the first step can be hard—but it can also be transformative. Even if you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or hopeless today, there is light at the end of the path. Our Spanish-speaking therapists are here to support you in finding more clarity, connection, and well-being.

You might be Latino and struggling with your mental health, but unsure if therapy is right for you…
I come from a Latino family that doesn’t go to therapy—They’ll think I’m crazy for seeing a therapist.
​
It’s a myth that only “crazy” people go to therapy. In fact, therapy is a mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy choice. We all have a story that deserves to be heard. Therapy is a common and normal way for people to get support as they navigate life’s ups and downs. By working with a therapist, you can explore past difficulties, strengthen your communication skills, and improve your perspective, relationships, and self-esteem.
​
Working with a Spanish-speaking therapist online won’t help me.
​
When we’re going through hard times, it’s common to get tunnel vision and not see a way out. We understand that cultural challenges, life transitions, and symptoms of anxiety or depression can make you feel alone. However, numerous studies show that therapy benefits most people—even in times of hopelessness or emotional pain. Online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person therapy. Speaking with a therapist in your own language can help you express your experiences more clearly and receive culturally attuned support, which can help restore your sense of hope and optimism. We offer both in-person and online sessions to meet your needs.
​
I’m afraid to commit to therapy—I don’t have time.
​
We know life can be hectic, and committing to therapy may feel hard. That’s why we aim to make the process accessible and sustainable. Sessions typically last around 50 minutes and can be scheduled weekly, biweekly, or monthly—based on your pace and needs. Our goal is to help you develop practical tools that you can apply in your daily life to improve your overall quality of life. By offering both in-person and virtual options, we eliminate barriers like travel time and strive to make therapy work for you.
