Great to meet you!

Dr. Serseción is a genderqueer, Latinx, licensed psychologist with 15+ years of experience as a therapist. Dr. Serseción is a native Spanish speaker from Puerto Rico, providing treatment in English and Spanish. In addition, Dr. Sersecion provides workshops on various topics such as cultural humility and working with diverse populations. They work with the following communities: LGBTQ+ population, polyamory community, Latinx community, DID/ plural community, geek community, video game community, and various others.

In their clinical practice, they focus on older teens and adults working through life transitions, questioning gender and/or sexuality, trauma history, dissociation, anxiety, and depression. They provide individual therapy. Regarding theoretical orientation, they use cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic theory.

My approach to therapy

Dr. Serseción uses a direct approach to help clients find what the best solution for them is. They also utilize geek culture and metaphors to assist in reducing symptoms and helping clients to process various life situations. They also provide a plural positive approach for systems who have a diagnosis of DID, and identify as plural or multiple

What you can expect from me

The first session is used to go over all intake paperwork, such as HIPAA, consent, and the client's history and symptoms. It's also a chance to start to get to know one another and see if this may be a good fit or not, for ongoing therapy!
