More about Jazmín
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 13 years of experience working in clinical practice. I am born and raised in San Francisco's Mission District. I am Salvarodan and Nicaraguan; a native Spanish speaker and am fully bilingual. I have served clients experiencing multiple occurring conditions requiring some form of crisis stabilization service or intervention. I have counseled individuals and families dealing with an array of issues such as immigration/deportation, domestic and community violence, teen pregnancy, work – readiness, homelessness, substance abuse, and more.
As of 2012, my clinical experience has afforded me the opportunity to provide brief and long-term psychotherapy utilizing strength-based, trauma informed, and culturally congruent clinical interventions. I utilize a client’s worldview as a cognitive template to enhance health and wellness practices that fortify their resilience. I help motivate clients in their recovery to become agents of change and wellness in their respective communities.
My vast experience has given me a particular insight on how to collaborate effectively with individuals of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural backgrounds. Up to 70% of the clients I have worked with are monolingual Spanish-Speaking immigrants and 50% are African American. Ten percent speak Maya/Yucateco, and Maya/Mam, Quechua, Cantonese, Samoan, Tagalog, Mongolian, Arabic, English, and Russian. I understand the impact culturally informed, social justice, and relational approaches can have in defining health and wellness practices, as well as alleviating community violence and intergenerational trauma.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
