Hi there, I'm Guadalupe "Lupe"!

Hi, my name is Lupe. I am honored you are considering working with me. Below is some information to help you determine if we are a good match, feel free to reach out if you have questions. I specialize in working with the LGBT+ community and those who struggle with internalized shame due to experiencing discrimination, oppression, trauma, and cultural conditioning.

My approach

I operate from a trauma-informed care view, I use mindfulness-based practices and whole-body healing in my work with others. I am trained in CBT, Seeking Safety, IPT, Problem-Solving Therapy, Mindfulness Stress Reduction, and Kundalini Yoga.

My focus

I help clients work through trauma, relationship issues, coming out, identity exploration, shame, guilt, depression, substance use, and anxiety.

My communication style

I have a calming warm demeanor and work collaboratively with clients toward their goals. I believe clients have inner wisdom, sometimes needing help to access it.

My journey to mental healthcare

Spirituality, social justice, and desire to help others heal.

My goals for you

I know clients are starting to feel better when their confidence begins to grow, they can identify their feelings/thoughts/plans with more ease, they can resolve past traumas, actively make repairs, and begin to start working on their future.

My first session with you

A warm introduction, a better sense of therapy with me, and goal setting.
