Xioel Lissette Terrero

Are you navigating a significant life transition, grappling with anxiety, or working to heal from generational or identity-based trauma? You deserve a safe and supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered. I specialize in helping clients from diverse backgrounds—including Latinx, African American, and LGBTQIA communities—explore their experiences and develop the skills to thrive. I'm Xioel Terrero, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with degrees from Fordham University and Manhattan College. As an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, I understand the emotional toll of adjusting to a new culture while navigating issues of identity, exclusion, and resilience. These experiences have profoundly influenced my work and fueled my passion for social justice and equitable care.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I use person-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to support clients dealing with anxiety, chronic illness, identity exploration, and challenging transitions. Whether you're facing a new challenge or unpacking years of complex experiences, your healing journey can begin here, with compassion and clarity at every step.

Clients can expect a supportive, non-judgmental space where they will feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions. My approach focuses on helping clients develop greater self-awareness, effective coping strategies, and improved problem-solving skills. They can anticipate:

Emotional Clarity – Gaining insight into their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, and how these elements influence one another. This can lead to enhanced emotional regulation and reduced overwhelm.

Personal Growth – Engaging in self-discovery to identify their strengths while also addressing areas for growth. This often involves overcoming self-limiting beliefs or negative thought patterns.

Tools for Coping – Practical techniques for managing stress, anxiety, and other challenges, as well as strategies for enhancing relationships and communication skills.

A Safe Space – A judgment-free environment where they can be themselves, explore complicated feelings, and feel supported in whatever they’re experiencing.

Actionable Goals – Collaborating to set and break down personal goals, whether they relate to mental health, life changes, or improving specific aspects of their life.
