Spanish-speaking Therapists in Washington

I spend a great deal of time building a connection with clients so that we can get to a place of vulnerability that feels comfortable. I incorporate science, reflection, warmth, and humor to sessions to help build a safe space for you. I am a Latina from Chicago, bilingual, and a musician in my spare time. I like to joke that "I never grew out of my emo phase" and being a therapist gives that statement a whole new meaning.

Great to meet you! Self-care is something I wholeheartedly believe in. I hold a master's degree in counseling psychology and have been helping others since 2009. The fundamental aspect of therapy is helping others to overcome life toughest seasons; addressing issues that may become a stumbling block. Life challenges can eventually lead to mental discomfort. Helping others for many years, I apply different treatment modalities that will assist you in reaching your therapy goals.

I was born in Managua, Nicaragua but moved to the United States at a young age. I can say that I’ve learned to appreciate, value, and grow from every experience given in life. Good or bad experiences can potentially shape who we are. They can impact our view and perspective about life, and make us stronger to overcome challenges we face throughout our journey or disable us temporarily, making the journey less enjoyable and pleasing. I always had a strong desire to help others. I found in Psychology and Therapy a good option to provide others the needed tools to move forward, so they can find within them the strength to push toward a better and more productive lifestyle. I view therapy as a safe place to explore relationships, whether those relationships are with people (family, co-workers, partner) or things (food, money, alcohol). I also feel an important part of therapy is addressing the social, economic, and cultural influences on a person.

I am a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting clients with compassion, creativity, and a multicultural perspective. Beyond my work, I am a mom to 4 (three adult children and one little) who values family and connection. Music, humor, and creative expression bring balance to my life, and I integrate that same spirit of authenticity and openness into my practice. My style is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be. Whether we focus on managing symptoms, processing past experiences, or building resilience for the future, I’ll walk alongside you every step of the way.

I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I am a Spanish-speaking, first-generation mental health therapist with extensive experience since 2017 in both inpatient and outpatient community mental health settings. I specialize in various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Multicultural Therapy. I work with a diverse range of clients, helping them navigate mental health challenges, develop coping strategies, and improve their overall well-being. My culturally sensitive approach has significantly impacted my clients' lives, empowering them to achieve personal growth and resilience.

I try to provide a safe and private space where someone can process their feelings and emotions and discuss the difficulties they are experiencing. I like to help people find solutions to the problems they are having and help them continue living their lives without their traumas or their past weighing them down. Every person deserves to live life to the fullest. You can search my website on www.collinscounselingcenter.org.
