Meet the Founder
Lorena Villa, M.S., LPC
Bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor
Born and raised in Mexico City, I am trained and licensed in both the U.S. and Mexico, with over 15 years of clinical experience across community agencies, healthcare systems, and private practice. I founded my practice to make high-quality mental health care accessible to the Hispanic community in our native language.
My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s complexities. I believe therapy is a collaborative process rooted in empathy, trust, and evidence-based care.
My clinical approach centers on psychodynamic depth therapy, focusing on understanding the root causes of emotional distress rather than quick fixes. I complement this with specialized, evidence-based methods such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ensuring you gain practical, real-world tools to navigate daily challenges throughout your therapy.
Adults and young adults facing:
Who I work with
Anxiety, depression, and stress management
Trauma recovery (including sexual assault and domestic violence)
Life transitions, migration, and cultural adjustment
Relationship dynamics, parenting challenges, and grief
Career and life-stage counseling
