Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy

  • At this time, I offer virtual individual therapy for adults in Illinois. Many first-gen professionals prefer virtual therapy because it fits real life busy schedules, commuting, caregiving, and the need for privacy.

  • Yes! I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a trauma-informed approach that can help you process painful experiences and shift the beliefs your nervous system is still holding onto.

  • I’m currently an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance at this time. I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement, depending on your plan.

    I accept HSA/FSA and credit cards as payment.
    If you have a health insurance plan, please contact your provider to confirm any out of network behavioral health coverage. If you do, I can provide a receipt of services, also known as a superbill, that you can submit to your insurance for a possible reimbursement.
    Ask your insurance provider the following questions: 

    • Do I have out of network mental health benefits? If I do, is telehealth covered?

    • If yes, what percentage of the cost do you reimburse?

    • Do I have a deductible I need to pay before I get reimbursed? If yes, what is the deductible amount? Has my deductible been met?

    • How many sessions per year are covered?

    • Is a prior authorization from my Primary Physician required?

    • How/Where can I submit a superbill?

  • Yes! A limited number of reduced-fee slots are available based on income/need. Email info@encuentratecc.com for more information. If I’m not able to accommodate your financial situation, I’m always happy to provide referrals.

Life/Career Coaching

  • Therapy often focuses on healing emotional distress, trauma, and mental health symptoms, and it may include diagnosing and treatment planning.
    Coaching is more goal-focused and future-oriented, supporting you in building skills, clarity, confidence, and sustainable change.

    Both can be powerful. We’ll choose what best fits your needs once we connect. Schedule a consult call today!

  • No, coaching services are typically not covered by insurances. However, some employers may offer professional development stipends or funding. Ask me about payment plans available.

  • If you want clarity, practical tools, accountability, and support navigating real-life decisions — coaching may be the right fit. Many clients seek life and career coaching when they are experiencing burnout, transitioning in employment, starting a business, or need support navigating the corporate world.

  • Start by scheduling a free consultation so we can explore what you’re looking for and whether we’re a good fit. If it feels aligned, we can schedule your first session immediately.

FAQ - Consultations for Students & Therapists

  • A consultation is a one-time or as-needed session where you can “pick my brain” and receive mentorship, strategy, and guidance — especially if you’re first-gen and navigating your professional path without a roadmap.

  • Common topics include:

    • Grad school, internship, and early-career guidance

    • Navigating licensing and professional development

    • Starting or growing a private practice

    • Building confidence as a bilingual clinician

    • Preparing for workshops, presentations, or panels

    • Career direction and next steps

  • If you’re looking for formal supervision, we can discuss your needs and whether I currently have availability and fit (depending on your licensure stage and state requirements).

  • Consultation is not therapy. It’s professional guidance, mentorship, and education — focused on your career path and skills rather than mental health treatment.

  • Yes — consultations can be in English, Spanish, or Spanglish.
