Hello, my name is Lety.
I am a Bilingual/Bicultural (Spanish) Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, who embraces her Latina culture and roots to provide culturally sensitive and attuned services. My counseling approach focuses on client strengths, listening, personal growth and development of a supportive therapeutic relationship.
I have a breadth of experience working in social services and non-profit agencies as a case manager, wellbeing coach, bilingual mental health therapist, facilitator and consultant. I am passionate about working with diverse populations and am always humbled by clients as they courageously share their intimate experiences.
My warm, supportive, and reflective style allows me to connect and attune to client needs. I maintain a balance between being assertive and nurturing to provide healthy boundaries for my clients. My therapeutic modality leans toward Person-Centered Humanistic Therapy, however I use multiple modalities to reflect a more Eclectic style to meet the needs of those that served.
I’ve received training in: CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed Practices, utilization of Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, Existential, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-based (MBCT), Traumatic Stress Studies Certification (pending), Trauma Resiliency Model Level 1 (TRM), Co-Occurring Disorder 1 and 2, Crisis, Self-Harm and Suicide Interventions/Prevention along with and my compassion, cultural sensitivity, and optimism to support my clients.
In my practice, I work with adults facing relationship issues, trauma, and mood disorders that impacted their sense of self. I focus on relieving troubling symptoms and gaining a deeper understanding of who you are and how you can restore your ability to create secure bonds and relationships to self and others.
I work with couples who want to increase connection to their partner, find balance, and navigate conflict. I support couples and parents raising children in a variety of situations. Parenting can feel overwhelming and stressful, together we will work to discover the joy and happiness it can bring to your life.
I work with adolescents experiencing depression/anxiety, ADHD/LD, thus negatively internalizing emotions and resulting in problematic behaviors. I spend time listening, gathering history and presenting concerns to better understand your perspective and then formulate a plan that is driven by you to empower your growth.
I am passionate about facilitating process oriented group therapy for adolescent and adults. I welcome the opportunity to join one of the groups I facilitate where you’re invited to learn how to connect to self and others, build yourself and reinvent who you want to be. Together you will thrive, grow and support each other in restoring emotional balance to do life!
As a bi-cultural therapist I can provide services in English and Spanish. I’m respectful and sensitive of others’ cultural customs, and supportive of treatments that consider cultural competency.
