Lina Barbenes

Hi there, I'm Lina!

I'm a compassionate psychotherapist specializing in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and self-esteem. As an immigrant myself, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, combining professional expertise with personal understanding.

My focus

I work best with people who are trying to understand themselves on a deeper level—especially those who feel caught between identities, relationships, cultures, or expectations. Many of my clients are navigating questions of belonging, desire, and agency, often while carrying the weight of trauma, migration, family pressure, or marginalization.

My approach

I believe in strength-based, culturally sensitive therapy. By integrating family therapy, attachment theory, and psychodynamic components, I help my clients explore their thought patterns and root conflicts. I also incorporate critical race theory, queer theory, and feminist perspectives to contextualize experiences and empower change.
