Latinx Therapist for Real Results

Hi, my name is Ligia (She, Her, Ella)!

I am a child of immigrants from Guatemala. I am a 1st generation cis- gendered Latinx therapist who believes all parts of your identity matter and want to help you find your path through understanding your emotions and healing feelings of guilt and shame.

Los Angeles, CA

I have observed throughout my time as a therapist that I was not alone in this struggle of finding my own path, authenticity, and peace within my internal world. There are inner conflicts that begin to arise from adolescence into adulthood that are hard to understand. Along with these feelings that come up and not understanding why. Navigating the world between different identities and expectations, created this imbalance in my internal world. Not knowing what I wanted because of not being attuned with who I actually was. Struggling to find peace with my bicultural identity around structures who made me feel I was not enough. Ultimately finding the balance for myself, allowing me to move past feelings of guilt and shame. Evolving into a person who feels peace and confidence. 

I am passionate about working with my clients in helping them create this balance; who others want them to be and what paths or choices they want to make for themselves. It is why I pursued my career as a therapist. I received a minor in women’s studies along with my BA in Psychology, and then moved to a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with a certification in LGBTQ+ Human Services and Mental Health. It affirmed my beliefs that individuals are shaped by so many of our relationships with others; our family, romantic relationships, friendships, and relationships within the outside world. It has led me through a wonderful journey working within the BIPOC community and clients allowing me to a part of their emotional growth and evolution as a human. To then create an inclusive private practice for BIPOC adults who struggle to feel safe as they are seen, from experiences I have withheld and also experiences I have observed as a therapist with my clients.
