Dr. Aglaed Mayorga

Hi, I'm Dr. Aglaed Mayorga. I am a Clinical and Forensic Latina Psychologist with experience treating individuals who identify as

LatinX

, Black, Native/Indigenous, and or other persons of color. I specialize in symptoms of codependency, cultural inter-generational and generational trauma, anxiety, and depression. I use a cognitive behavioral therapeutic and holistic approach in my practice.

Melissa Olmedo

As a multiracial therapist (

Latinx

/White), I consider how race and culture affects our identities and how we move and feel in this world.

We are living in a fast-moving world that can affect our ability to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. In this era of digital communication, you may find yourself feeling disconnected from your body while interacting in real life. If you feel you have lost touch with the emotional, physical, and social parts of yourself, I am here to help you on the path to becoming your best self. I hope I can guide you to connect to your spirit and soul and find new outlets of healthy expression and heal from past traumas. I approach therapy through the mind and body connection and focus on your strengths and gifts.

Revolutionary Women's Wellness

Experienced in working from a liberatory, feminist lens with Black, Asian,

Hispanic

/

Latinx

, Indigenous/Native and women of diaspora, I help global women navigate self-doubt, burnout, and cultural stress.

Maybe it's hard to feel like you're enough. You've been taught by family, culture, and society your whole life that everything from your body to your place in the world is always up for critique. So now you shrink, hide parts of yourself that you've been taught to reject, and move through the world wearing a mask. You might struggle to speak up for yourself and neglect your own needs. Low self esteem, self doubt, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, people pleasing and all these harmful internalized messages you've been carrying feel like shackles you've been forced to wear, don't they? And you're ready to break free.

Kayla Uggetti

Hi! Ever feel like your emotions and behaviors are difficult to understand, or maybe they're just tough to manage? Or perhaps you're struggling to communicate what you're thinking or wanting in relationships with family, parents, children, friends, or co-workers? Using practical tools and proven techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to Mindfulness, I can help you navigate the ups and downs of emotions. Together, we can work towards helping you become more in tune with yourself by understanding the "why" and "now what?" As a member of the

LatinX

community, I integrate inclusivity and cultural awareness into my work.

Christina Fazio

As humans, we experience moments of difficulty. Whether that be navigating personal relationships or witnessing collective community distress, we can feel hopeless, out of control, anxious, grief, and exhausted. These struggles may lead to disconnection in relationships, low motivation, and difficulty focusing. Sometimes it is too much to carry on our own and we need support. As a Queer and

Latinx

identifying therapist, I offer an inclusive and judgment-free space for children, teens, couples and families to navigate these issues, and am especially passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+, gender expansive, and

Latinx

communities.

Feel Understood Couples Counseling

I welcome couples from mixed backgrounds, and I offer LGBTQ Affirming and

Latinx

Therapy.

Is your relationship stuck in conflict, or feeling hopeless? You might find yourselves trapped in repeating patterns. You know communication should be improved somehow. Maybe you don’t spend enough time together. You could be avoiding each other because of past hurts you'd rather not bring up, or personal differences you've been struggling to address. You're likely not feeling as supported you could be. If any of this resonates with you, I'm a trained couples therapist here to help.

Eunice Virgen

I specialize working with Black and

Latino

women who are seeking a female therapist of color who is empathic, non judgmental, trained in effective evidence based interventions, while being mindful of differences in cultural backgrounds to help address generational traumas, codependency issues , and inner child work.

Latino

communities. Currently I am focusing on providing a safe space to those finding themselves with anxiety, depression and/or trauma.

Ivonne Campuzano

Hi! So happy you’re here. Deciding to start therapy is not always an easy thing to do so I am super happy that you have taken the first step. Let’s be real. Life is hard. Life is even harder when we don’t have someone we trust in our corner. Whether it be to process our past, vent about the present, or plan our future, sometimes we just need someone to talk to. Someone who listens, someone who doesn’t interrupt to talk about themselves, or maybe someone who isn’t family. As a first-generation

Latinx

therapist, I understand these struggles and how difficult it may be to find someone who "just gets it."

Latino

Alex Rivera

As a bilingual,

Latinx

male, my skillset and experience allows me to to take a broader view and identify how external factors can play a role in impacting our mood and behaviors.

My approach in therapy is to build a connection with you to be able to uncover a deeper sense of awareness, challenge core beliefs from childhood/adulthood, and motivate you to work towards healing. I challenge my clients to create goals that will have a meaningful and positive impact in their lives. Although therapy can sometimes be short lived, I want to be able to provide you with the tools necessary that will allow you to manage your symptoms (I.e., anxiety, depression, ADHD, a mood disorder, trauma, substance use issues, adjusting to a new chapter in your life, relationship issues), and increase a more joyful life.

Janein Chavez, LMFT

I provide compassionate and culturally sensitive therapy and counseling for

latinx

, BIPOC, and women and men of diverse backgrounds.

I’m passionate about working with women seeking self love, self compassion, romantic love and love for others. I enjoy supporting people to nurture themselves, accept their value and that caring for and healing themselves is a political act of resistance and decolonization. I often work with First Gen women. Exploring what parents (from around the world) brought with them- traditions, practices, ways of thinking, maybe intergenerational trauma and focusing on healing. With some people we'll do a deep dive into what it feels like to be you. Seeking therapy is a strength, an act of courage, a journey inward, outward, and forward.

Jennifer Romero

Hi there - I want to start by honoring your commitment to yourself as I recognize that therapy can feel intimidating and the process in finding the right fit can sometimes feel discouraging. If you are here, it's possible your parents may not have had the tools to teach you how to understand your emotions and nurture your mental health. As a first generation Mexican-American daughter, I have lived experience with intergenerational trauma and I am passionate about supporting the

Latinx

community. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful tool in learning more about yourself in a warm and compassionate space.

Latinx

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who is passionate about creating a space for healing hearts and bodies, through authentic connection.

I am particularly passionate about helping kids develop a growth mindset and resilience as they navigate life's challenges, as well as working with

Latinx

and BIPOC clients seeking to work through generational patterns that have inhibited the expansive development of their authentic selves.

I believe that relationships are not just a source of our deepest pain, but also the catalyst for transformation and healing. Using cultural humility and compassionate attunement, I foster a nurturing space where you can explore your inner struggles, share your story, and discover your authentic self. As a companion on your journey towards healing, I will use a therapeutic approach that honors the intersecting parts of your being by bringing awareness to mind, body, spirit, and cultural identity.
