Hi everyone! I'm Antony Cantu (he/him/his), a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of experience across diverse settings, which includes 3 years of clinical (private practice, shelter) and 3 years in the educational setting. This unique blend allows me to specialize in areas like trauma, particularly intergenerational traumas and sexual identity challenges, while also addressing related issues like anxiety, depression, and family conflicts. Throughout my work with a wide range of clients, men and women alike, I've been struck by how truly individual we all are. Your unique experiences and perspectives are what make you special. By identifying what you want to achieve, we can work together to develop a personalized path towards a more mindful, embodied, and fulfilling life. As a Latino/Latinx and LGBTQ+ member myself, I offer a culturally sensitive space to explore your identity. Bilingual in Spanish and English, I've primarily worked with Latinx populations. I believe in tailoring treatment to your unique needs, blending traditional and innovative therapies to achieve balance and wellness. I commend your journey towards wholeness and look forward to working with you!

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

Our first session is a collaborative start to your journey. We'll get acquainted, discuss your goals, and ensure we're a good fit. Expect authenticity, open communication, and a judgment-free environment. We'll build a foundation for a strong partnership by setting clear expectations and exploring your background, values, and goals. If time allows, we'll even begin uncovering the reasons behind your decision to seek therapy. This session prioritizes establishing a comfortable space where you feel empowered to be your true self.

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

Having started my counseling career in education, I feel my greatest strength as a provider has been the ability to connect with my clients in a way that they feel safe in a therapeutic relationship with me. I learned that my authentic self helps me do the best work for those that need it most and at the time they are seeking services.
