Introduction

Hi, I’m Stephanie, a bilingual, bicultural Latina therapist based in Chicago. As a proud second-generation Mexican American, I bring not only clinical expertise but also lived experience to the therapy room. I understand how culture, language, identity, and generational expectations can shape our mental health journeys, especially within Latinx and BIPOC communities. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in cultural humility. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, family dynamics, trauma, or life transitions, I offer a compassionate space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I integrate evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy through a trauma-informed, decolonized lens, and I’m not afraid to bring humor, Spanglish, or real talk into the process when it helps us connect. Therapy is a powerful act of healing and resistance. You don’t have to do it alone. I'm here to walk with you.
