Hi there, I'm Juan!

I’m a licensed therapist and clinical director with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. At Moriel Mental Health, we’re committed to providing inclusive, culturally attuned care that helps people grow, heal, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions, trauma, anxiety, relationship stress, and identity development. Many of my clients are seeking support around gender identity, grief, family dynamics, or stress related to chronic health concerns. I also have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ clients.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate methods like CBT, trauma-focused therapy, and psychodynamic exploration to help you understand patterns, process challenges, and build tools that work in everyday life. I aim to create a space where you're supported, challenged, and seen.

My communication style

Clients often describe my communication style as grounded, honest, and approachable. I bring a steady presence to sessions, balancing open reflection with practical feedback when helpful. I believe therapy works best when clients feel both emotionally safe and intellectually respected.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path into this field started with a strong desire to help people feel understood and empowered. Over the years, I’ve worked across a wide range of clinical settings, from nonprofit and county mental health to private practice and organizational consultation. These experiences shaped how I show up as a clinician.

My goals for you

I help clients identify what matters most! Whether that's finding relief from symptoms, setting boundaries, improving relationships, or healing from past experiences, and then we build a plan around it. We set realistic goals, revisit them often, and adapt based on what’s working. You’ll have space to reflect on.

Our first session

In a first session, we’ll take time to understand what brings you in and what you’d like to get out of therapy. I ask thoughtful questions, but there’s no pressure to go too deep too fast. This is about pacing things in a way that feels right to you. You’ll have space to share your story, ask questions, and get a feel for how we work together.
