More about Socorro

- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, as well as those seeking to build self-esteem and navigate significant life transitions.
My areas of focus include helping you explore self-love, improve communication, work through isolation and loneliness, and find clarity around life purpose. I also specialize in supporting clients healing from guilt, shame, and attachment wounds, as well as those managing panic disorder, post-traumatic stress, and workplace challenges. I'm honored to support clients through pregnancy, childbirth, and the process of forgiveness.
I bring a culturally responsive and compassionate approach to therapy, recognizing that each person's experience is shaped by their unique identity and background. I'm committed to creating a safe, affirming space where you feel truly heard and respected.
I'm fluent in both English and Spanish, allowing me to serve a broader community with authenticity and ease.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm genuinely proud of you for taking this important step toward healing and growth.

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.
