I'm a queer Latina/Chicana licensed therapist in FL and I have been in the mental health field since 2016. This is truly my passion! I recently began my own practice, Mindful Sol Therapy.. I work with adults who struggle with severe mental illness, the LGBTQ+ and TGNC community, infertility/loss/birthing trauma, grief/loss, anxiety disorders, depression, cultural issues/assimilation, and trauma. I enjoy working with individuals who can be honest with themselves, want to be challenged, and are motivated for change and improvement. I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental, supportive space. I like to meet my clients where they are and help you figure out how to live your best life. I'm not here to tell you what you're thinking/feeling as the therapist-client relationship should be a collaborative experience. My goal is to help you learn how to live your most authentic life.
In our first to third sessions, I will be going over your intake information to get a better idea of your history, any previous therapy experience/growth, and then discuss your goals and come up with a treatment plan. These first few sessions will help me get to know you better to provide an assessment and give you a chance to get to learn my style and personality.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental and warm space for you to be comfortable and be yourself.
I enjoy working with individuals of the LGBTQ+ community, young adults coming into their own, those who may be struggling with fertility issues, and POC who may be learning or struggling with assimilation in the U.S.
I like to use CBT techniques to help restructure the way you think and subsequently react to certain situations you may be struggling with. I use this technique frequently within the conversations in our sessions and has been known to be very effective for most individuals.
I provide services to many individuals of the LGBTQ+ and TGNB communities. I am currently learning to write support letters for those of my clients who need one for gender affirming medical treatments.
I have years of experience working with individuals who have lost loved ones including those who are (or have undergone) undergoing fertility issues and loss.
Our sessions are centered around my clients. My method is no strictly structured to our treatment plan, especially if you have new concerns or stressors that pop up, we can spend the session processing that. I meet my clients where they are as this is a collaborative experience where I provide a listening ear, education, and guidance as appropriate.
