Individual Therapy
We all have moments when we experience struggle. In our therapy sessions, I will listen, validate, and help you understand your emotions. It is my belief that we are all capable of cultivating our best selves when we take the time to dig deep into what it is that is keeping us from our authentic self.

My Approach
I recognize the courage and strength it takes to embark in the mental health journey, I congratulate you for taking that step. In therapy, a collaboration between the client and therapist is built on trust. Therapy is tailored to your needs, your story, and your cultural background. Together we will navigate the depths of your emotions and experiences to give you deeper insight and understanding. Through our teamwork, we will explore the complexities of your journey, creating a safe space for reflection, growth, and healing. My commitment to you is to provide support and a compassionate presence throughout your journey.
How much does therapy cost?
My session fee is $100 per 45 minute session.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance, unfortunately insurance companies will not recognize and reimburse for services provided by LPC Associates. I can provide a referral list of therapists that do accept insurance.
What kind of payment do you accept?
Major credit/debit cards are accepted. Payment is due when services are rendered.
What you may do in between sessions?
I support you in creating an action plan that best fits your healing journey week by week. That can be skill practice and/or whatever you want to accomplish that week.
How long are sessions? How long is therapy?
Sessions are approximately 45 to 50 minutes long. Frequency of sessions is depending on individual need. One session a week is commonly recommended.
How is a consultation different than a session?
A free 15 minute consult is used to evaluate if we’re a good fit in terms of payment, style, and availability. A session is were we discuss the issue you bring and problem solve it together.
Do you see children or teens?
Yes. However I offer services to those minors who are age 13 and up. If you need a therapist for a child younger than 13, I recommend searching latinxtherapy.org or psychologytoday.com. I can also provide a referral list.
If your child no longer resides with both biological parents due to a divorce or change in guardianship, a copy of the legal paperwork (e.g. divorce decree) regarding custody and guardianship information relating to who is able to seek medical/psychological attention will be needed at consultation. Counseling cannot begin until the proper paperwork has been provided.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost one day before your medical service. Under the law, mental health providers need to give patients who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services such as therapeutic services. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your good faith estimate, you can dispute the bill. For more questions or information about your right to Good Faith Estimate visit www.cms.gov/no surprises or call The No Surprises Help Desk at 1-800-985-3059.
