Adriana Juarez Arteaga

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a Master’s degree from Notre Dame de Namur University, and I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2016. I became licensed in 2021 and have since continued supporting individuals, couples, and families through meaningful, growth-oriented work.

I specialize in working with the Latinx community, immigrant families, and first- and second-generation individuals navigating identity, acculturation, and family dynamics. I also support teenagers, communities of color, and women of color. My clinical focus includes transgenerational trauma, relational healing, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, with a culturally responsive and decolonizing lens.

Clients often experience me as warm, grounded, and intuitive, while also offering direct and supportive guidance.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and culturally attuned. I integrate evidence-based practices with an emphasis on exploring attachment patterns, family-of-origin dynamics, and the impact of intergenerational experiences.

I believe healing happens through both insight and connection. Therapy with me is collaborative—I support clients in building self-awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, and reconnecting with their inner voice and sense of agency. I also honor the emotional and intuitive aspects of healing as part of the therapeutic process.

The first session is a space for you to feel welcomed, heard, and supported. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your background, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy.

I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your experiences, but you can share at your own pace. We’ll also begin identifying your goals and what support might look like moving forward.

Most importantly, the first session is about connection—making sure you feel comfortable and aligned as we begin working together.
