Culturally Sensitive Therapy

2208438539If you realize that the last ten years have been challenging…

You are not alone.

Being part of the Latinx community has been challenging for many.

Having roots in two places creates unique struggles for many Latinx people.

Some of us can come back and forth, can’t go back, and can’t come in.

We live in one of the busiest borders in the world, making us more vulnerable to things that happen on either side of the border.

This creates a layer of complexity that, for many of the people we work with, is not addressed when they seek help.

We take pride in holding this as the foundation of our work with you.

At Alba Center, we value this unique complexity with the people we serve and help.

We work with open borders allowing the parts of our culture that help us heal and incorporate others from this side of the world.

The process of healing through platicas has always been a part of the Latinx culture. So, we invite you to get to know yourself by talking about your experiences with someone who understands you.

We recognize that many of us think in English and feel in Spanish, so we will speak from both places using a combination of what feels good to you.

The container of therapy might change as you need it to change. At times you might want to bring in a family member with you. We welcome all the familia.

Sometimes you think you need a limpia. We will help you through this process by inviting the ancient practices of our ancestors and include proven scientific ways to enhance the process, such as dream work, active imagination, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and energy healing, such as body movement, music, and art.

Our souls have no boundaries, so we support your healing with this in mind.

Be the first and change the rest.

Stepping out of a culture where survival was the goal into one where pursuing happiness is the ultimate value is hard to do alone.

The path forward always starts with one step. Take the first step.

It takes a village to make change possible. We are here to support you and become your tribe.

Transformation and healing are attainable, and they can start the moment you call us and schedule your first session.
