Psychodinamic Therapy
Insight-oriented support rooted in depth psychology.
Often, our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are not just reactions to the present moment — they’re shaped by deeper roots. Early experiences, long-standing relational patterns, and parts of ourselves that operate just beneath awareness can quietly influence how we feel, how we relate, and how we navigate the world.
Through a psychodynamic lens, we create space to gently explore these inner layers. This isn’t about dissecting the past for its own sake, but about cultivating a deeper understanding of your inner world — the stories you carry, the defenses you’ve built, the longings that have gone unmet. Together, we bring curiosity and compassion to the parts of you that may have felt unseen, misinterpreted, or disconnected.
This kind of work isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level insights. It’s about fostering real, meaningful inner shifts — changes that unfold over time and that allow you to feel more grounded in yourself, more attuned to your needs, and more connected to who you truly are. From this place, new ways of being, relating, and choosing begin to emerge — not because you’ve forced them, but because something inside you has genuinely shifted.
Certified Professional Coaching
Clarity, focus and forward movement.
Collaborative process that’s goal-oriented and rooted in the present, yet deeply supportive and reflective. It offers a space to pause and reconnect — to take honest stock of where you are now, and to define, with clarity and intention, where you want to go.
Together, we look at what’s getting in the way — whether it’s self-doubt, unclear direction, competing priorities, or old narratives that no longer serve you. We explore not just the "what" of your goals, but the "why" beneath them — anchoring your path in values that are meaningful and authentic to you.
This work isn’t about surface-level motivation or productivity hacks. It’s about building momentum in a way that feels emotionally aligned and sustainable. With attunement and curiosity, we strengthen your inner compass, clarify your vision, and create tangible steps forward — all while honoring the complexity of being human.
Whether you're navigating a transition, craving more purpose, or simply feeling stuck, life coaching offers both structure and space: structure to move forward with intention, and space to reflect, realign, and grow.
Bilingual Therapy
Therapeutic care that’s linguistically and culturally aligned with you.
Feel truly seen and understood — not just in the language you speak, but in the cultural experiences that shape who you are. Whether you prefer to work in English, Spanish, or move fluidly between both, sessions are thoughtfully tailored to support bicultural, multilingual, and Latinx clients.
Language is more than words — it holds emotion, history, identity, and belonging. And culture influences how we express pain, seek connection, and make meaning of our lives. That’s why being met with cultural sensitivity isn’t just comforting — it’s essential for deep, effective inner work.
Whether you're navigating transitions, identity questions, generational dynamics, or simply longing for a space where all parts of you are welcomed, this work honors the richness of your story — in both language and culture.
Trauma informed Care
Grow at a pace that feels right for you, held in a space of safety, steadiness, and care.
Sessions are approached with a deep awareness of how trauma — whether developmental, relational, or acute — can shape not only the nervous system, but also our sense of self, relationships, and how we move through the world. Even when trauma isn't the explicit focus, its echoes often show up in subtle ways: in patterns of reactivity, difficulty trusting, emotional numbness, or a lingering sense of disconnection.
While this is not formal trauma therapy, our work is grounded in trauma-informed principles. That means we move at a pace that feels safe, we prioritize emotional regulation, and we stay attuned to your inner cues — not pushing past them, but honoring them as wisdom. The goal isn’t to “fix” you, but to create a space where your system can soften, recalibrate, and feel safe enough to begin shifting from survival to connection, from tension to integration.
This kind of presence — steady, respectful, and emotionally attuned — creates the conditions for meaningful insight and change to emerge organically, in a way that’s both empowering and sustainable.
This isn’t about pushing past your limits, but about honoring your nervous system’s wisdom, allowing insight and change to emerge naturally. Whether you're navigating uncertainty, seeking clarity, or simply needing space to breathe and reflect, you’ll be met with care, curiosity, and deep respect for your pace and process.
relational Counseling
Where your relationship can unfold with care, clarity, and cultural understanding
Relationships can be one of our greatest sources of connection — and also one of our most complex emotional landscapes. Whether you're facing conflict, struggling with communication, moving through a transition, or simply feeling disconnected, therapy offers a space to slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
In our work together, we’ll look at the patterns you may be caught in — not to place blame, but to understand. What’s being said and what’s going unspoken? Where are needs and longings being missed? How is past pain showing up in the present moment? With compassion and curiosity, we’ll begin to untangle what keeps you stuck and rediscover ways of relating that feel more intentional, respectful, and emotionally safe.
This space is grounded in emotional balance and cultural awareness. I welcome LGBTQ+ and intercultural couples with sensitivity to the unique layers of identity, history, and belonging that may shape your relationship experience. Whether you’re navigating different cultural frameworks, coming out, rebuilding trust, or deepening your connection, you’ll be met with openness, nuance, and care.
Grief & loss support
Honor your process and find meaning in your own time
Grief is not something to “get over,” but something to move through — in your own way, on your own timeline. This work offers a space to acknowledge what’s been lost, explore what still lingers, and begin to integrate the impact of that loss into your life with compassion and care.
Grounded in trauma-informed and psychodynamic principles, grief support at ViaMentis creates room for the full spectrum of your emotional experience — sorrow, anger, confusion, numbness, gratitude, even moments of unexpected joy. All of it is welcome. All of it matters.
There’s no need to rush, perform resilience, or have the right words. Together, we gently explore what your loss means to you, how it continues to live in your body and story, and what it might mean to carry it — not as a burden to fix, but as a part of your evolving self.
This isn’t about silver linings or tidy closure. It’s about allowing grief to unfold as it needs to, and walking with it rather than against it. In this space, you are not alone. You are supported in finding meaning, connection, and eventually — movement forward, on your own terms.
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Treatment)
Progress with intention, honoring what’s most important to you.
Grounded in the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this work supports you in uncovering what truly matters to you — your core values — and cultivating the psychological flexibility needed to live in alignment with them. It invites you to face difficult thoughts and emotions with openness and compassion, rather than avoidance or resistance.
It’s about making space for the full range of your human experience — the joy, the fear, the doubt, the hope — and learning to move alongside it with care. You don’t have to feel “ready” or “fixed” to begin. What matters is a willingness to take small, intentional steps toward a life that feels real, meaningful, and aligned with who you truly are.
Together, we focus on taking meaningful, committed action that moves you toward a life that feels rich, purposeful, and authentic — even when challenges arise. This approach isn’t about eliminating discomfort, but about learning to navigate it skillfully, so it no longer stands in the way of the life you want to build.
DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Treatment)
Build balance, emotional regulation, and connection — without losing yourself in the process.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was originally designed to help people navigate intense emotional experiences with more stability, self-awareness, and relational skill. In this coaching context, we adapt its core principles to support you in creating a more grounded, present, and emotionally responsive life.
Together, we explore the art of holding two truths at once: the desire for change and the need for acceptance. You don’t have to reject parts of yourself to grow — and you don’t have to pretend everything is fine to move forward. We work on skills that help you stay centered in distress, respond with intention rather than reactivity, and communicate your needs with clarity and care.
This work is especially helpful if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in emotional extremes. We use real-time awareness, reflection, and structured practices to help you build emotional resilience without bypassing what’s real or meaningful.
It’s not about becoming perfectly regulated — it’s about learning how to come back to yourself, again and again, with compassion, skill, and presence.
