Services at Encuéntrate Counseling & Consulting
Healing and growth look different for everyone. Below you’ll find the ways we can work together, from individual therapy and life coaching to immigration psychoalogical evaluations, speaking engagements, and professional consultations.
Each service is grounded in trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care and designed with first-gen, bicultural, and high-achieving professionals in mind.
Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy for Adults in Illinois (Virtual)
Virtual, trauma-informed therapy for adults in Illinois navigating anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and burnout. Sessions available in English, Spanish, or Spanglish.

Process traumatic or painful experiences using EMDR (more information on EMDR Therapy) and other trauma-informed tools
Learn nervous system regulation skills to soothe, soften, and ground your body
Practice setting boundaries at work and with family without drowning in guilt
Rediscover joy, play, and rest as part of your healing (not a reward for productivity)

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 offer therapy in English, Spanish, and Spanglish — whichever feels most natural for you. Sometimes emotions land differently in our first language, and you deserve support that honors that.
-
I specialize in supporting high-achieving, first-generation professionals who experience:
Anxiety and overthinking
Burnout and chronic stress
Depression or emotional numbness
Perfectionism and imposter syndrome
Trauma and difficult life experiences
Cultural guilt, family pressure, and boundary struggles
-
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.
-
Yes. Trauma isn’t only one big event. It can also be what happens when you’ve had to stay strong for a long time — emotional neglect, chronic stress, instability, or growing up feeling like you had to earn safety and love. We’ll explore your story gently, at your pace.
-
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?
-
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.

Start by scheduling a consultation so we can explore what you’re looking for and whether we’re a good fit. If it feels aligned, we’ll talk about next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
-
Coaching is a great fit if you:
Feel stuck or uncertain about your next chapter
Want support with boundaries, confidence, leadership, or burnout
Are navigating a career transition or identity shift
Want structure, accountability, and consistent support
Don’t necessarily want therapy right now, but want guidance and tools
-
Coaching is typically a 3-month container with 12 weekly sessions, plus support in between sessions (based on the package you select).

If you want clarity, practical tools, accountability, and support navigating real-life decisions — coaching may be the right fit. If you’re looking to process trauma, manage depression/anxiety symptoms, or heal deeper emotional pain, therapy may be a better match. We can talk it through together.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
