I’m Javier, a trauma-focused ecotherapist and the founder of Eutierria Therapy, where I help individuals navigate the complex landscape of healing collective trauma—particularly the shared historical and intergenerational wounds that impact our sense of identity and belonging. My practice is deeply rooted in the belief that true healing involves reconnecting with our cultural heritage and the natural world. I specialize in guiding clients through a holistic journey of self-discovery, where they can explore their ancestral roots, reclaim their identity, and build a meaningful, reciprocal relationship with the land. At Eutierria Therapy, I integrate a unique blend of therapeutic modalities tailored to support deep and transformative healing. My approach combines trauma-informed care, culturally sensitive therapy, and nature-based practices, all designed to honor the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and the environment. I believe that by fostering a deeper connection to the Earth and our ancestral wisdom, we can heal not just the individual, but also the collective wounds that affect entire communities. In our work together, I will help you cultivate a broader awareness of your role within the larger ecosystem and guide you in finding strength and resilience through land-based rituals, mindfulness practices, and somatic techniques. Whether you’re grappling with the impacts of trauma, navigating life transitions, or seeking a deeper spiritual connection, I am here to support you on your journey toward wholeness. If you’re ready to embark on a path of healing that honors both your heritage and your place in the natural world, I invite you to explore Eutierria Therapy. Let’s work together to reclaim your sense of self and create a life that is deeply rooted, empowered, and connected.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

What to Expect in Your First Session at Eutierria Therapy The first session at Eutierria Therapy is an essential step in your healing journey, where we begin to lay the foundation for a therapeutic relationship built on trust, safety, and mutual understanding. This session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, explore your reasons for seeking therapy, and discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, ensuring that you feel heard, respected, and supported from the very beginning. Creating a Safe and Welcoming Space As you enter the therapy space, whether it's in-person or virtual, my priority is to create an environment where you feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed. I understand that starting therapy can bring up a range of emotions, including anxiety, uncertainty, and hope. My aim is to honor those feelings and provide a space where you can express yourself freely without judgment. The physical space, if in-person, is designed to be calming and reflective of the natural world, incorporating elements of nature that resonate with the principles of Eutierria Therapy. If we’re meeting virtually, I will ensure that our online sessions are conducted in a manner that maintains this sense of connection and safety. Initial Introductions and Setting the Stage We will begin the session with some initial introductions. I will share a bit about myself, my background, and my approach to therapy, so you have a clear understanding of who I am and how I work. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions you may have about me or the therapeutic process. Next, I’ll invite you to share what brought you to therapy. This can include the specific challenges or issues you’re facing, as well as any hopes or goals you have for our work together. You don’t have to share everything at once—this is a gradual process, and we will go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Exploring Your Story In this first session, my focus is on listening to your story. I want to understand your experiences, your struggles, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. We’ll explore your history, including any experiences of trauma, significant life events, or cultural and spiritual influences that have shaped who you are today. I approach this conversation with deep respect for your unique journey and cultural background. If you are seeking therapy to address collective or intergenerational trauma, we can begin t

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my holistic and culturally sensitive approach to therapy, my deep commitment to healing collective trauma, and my ability to create a safe, empowering space for clients to explore their identities and reconnect with nature. 1. Holistic and Integrative Approach One of my core strengths is my ability to integrate various therapeutic modalities into a cohesive, holistic approach that addresses the mind, body, spirit, and environment. I draw from trauma-informed care, culturally sensitive therapy, mindfulness practices, and nature-based interventions to create a personalized therapeutic experience for each client. This integrative approach allows me to meet clients where they are and tailor the therapy to their unique needs, ensuring that all aspects of their well-being are considered and nurtured. 2. Cultural Sensitivity and Inclusivity My deep understanding of the importance of cultural heritage and identity in the healing process is another significant strength. I am committed to honoring and incorporating the cultural backgrounds, traditions, and spiritual practices of my clients. I recognize that each person’s cultural identity is a source of strength and resilience, and I work to help clients reclaim and celebrate this aspect of themselves. My practice is rooted in the belief that culturally sensitive therapy is essential for truly effective and transformative healing. 3. Expertise in Healing Collective Trauma I specialize in addressing collective trauma, including shared historical and intergenerational wounds that impact individuals and communities. My expertise in this area allows me to guide clients through the complex process of understanding and healing from trauma that is deeply embedded in cultural and familial histories.
