Alethia Ornelas

My communication style

My communication style combines gentle presence with direct, compassionate guidance. I create a space where you feel safe and supported, but also gently challenged when needed. You can expect a respectful, open environment where difficult topics can be explored with care and trust.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey as a therapist has been deeply influenced by my identity as a Latina immigrant. I experienced the challenges of adapting to a new culture, overcoming language barriers, and managing the emotional toll of life transitions, trauma, and anxiety. These experiences allow me to connect with clients on a deeper level.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you feel empowered, understood, and equipped to face life's challenges. By working together to define meaningful goals, we ensure therapy aligns with your values and priorities. Whether you're building coping strategies or processing past trauma, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, judgment-free space. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to learn about your background and current concerns, and we'll begin identifying areas to focus on. This first meeting is about building trust.

I identify as...

• Cis, Female
• Hispanic or Latinx
