Lourdes Rios

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Board-Certified Sex Therapist with over 25 years of experience in healthcare and mental wellness. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, psychological, and life challenges. I have specialized experience supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, including those with complex medical conditions and members of the LGBTQ+ community. My practice is grounded in a commitment to inclusivity, respect, and cultural sensitivity.

I work with adults to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, grief, identity exploration, and life transitions. With a person-centered approach, I tailor each treatment plan to meet the unique needs and goals of my clients, integrating techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based interventions.

Whether you're managing the emotional impact of a medical diagnosis, exploring your identity, needing education and support as a parent, or seeking a safe space to grow and heal, I am here to support you with empathy and expertise.The clients often leave sessions feeling more self-aware, emotionally equipped, and empowered to take meaningful action in their lives. You can expect a nonjudgmental space, thoughtful insight, and tools that help you make lasting changes. Whether you're working through a specific issue or exploring new parts of your identity, I’m here to support you with warmth, curiosity, and respect.
