Stephanie Gonzalez-Barragan

Hola! I'm a bilingual (English and Spanish-speaking) Latina therapist who is passionate about creating a welcoming, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where individuals feel safe to show up as their authentic selves.

As a first-generation daughter of immigrant parents, I understand how culture, family dynamics, generational experiences, and personal identity can shape our mental health and relationships. I value the importance of honoring each person's story and recognize that healing looks different for everyone. Whether you prefer to express yourself in English, Spanish, or a combination of both, I want you to feel understood and supported without having to explain or minimize your experiences.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. I believe in helping you better understand your experiences, recognize your strengths, build healthy coping skills, and develop a deeper connection with yourselves.

I believe therapy is not about having everything figured out, rather having a space where you can explore, grow, and heal at your own pace. Mi deseo es que te sientas escuchada/o, valorada/o y acompañada/o en cada paso de tu proceso.

Finding the right therapist is about connection and feeling comfortable. I invite you to reach out so we can connect and explore whether we would be a good fit. ¡Será un gusto acompañarte en este camino!
