As a 'Nuyorican' (Puerto Rican New Yorker) therapist, I understand the unique challenges that come with being a Latinx, BIPOC, creative, queer individual in this vibrant, fast-paced city of New York. I recognize the profound impact of adverse life events, as well as the weight of depressive or anxious episodes. Look no further – I'm here to support you on your path to balance and self-discovery. I'm Juanita, a licensed creative arts therapist with a passion for helping individuals like you, who identify as creative and diverse, navigate the complexities of mental health in urban city life. Using my extensive training in trauma-informed therapy combined with expressive arts interventions, I work with clients to develop insight, creative expression, self esteem, healthy coping tools, problem solving skills and healthy relationships with self and others. I work with individuals, and couples and offer KAP Groups for accessible treatment.
