Welcome! As a seasoned professional in HIV care for over two decades, I bring a wealth of experience and cultural sensitivity to my practice. Hailing from Mexico, I obtained my masters five years ago and have since dedicated my expertise to assisting individuals from various backgrounds. My commitment lies in collaboratively developing coping skills to address psychosocial stressors, empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience. Welcome to a therapeutic space where cultural understanding meets practical support, tailored to your individual needs on the path to well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we establish a foundation of trust. We'll engage in an open and collaborative conversation, allowing you to share your unique experiences, challenges, and aspirations. Together, we'll discuss your goals for therapy and explore how we can work together to address your concerns. I'll provide an overview of my therapeutic approach and ensure that you feel comfortable and understood. By the end of the session, we aim to create a roadmap for our work together and set the stage for a supportive and transformative therapeutic journey tailored to your individual needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my extensive experience in HIV care spanning over two decades. I bring a deep understanding of diverse cultures, particularly the Latinx community, and leverage this cultural sensitivity to create a welcoming and inclusive therapeutic space. My proficiency in assisting individuals, including immigrants and young professionals, in developing coping skills for anxiety and past trauma sets the stage for fostering resilience and personal growth. Clients can expect a compassionate and tailored approach that honors their unique backgrounds, creating a foundation for a transformative therapeutic journey.
