Anxiety and Depression Therapy in Los Angeles
Healing Rooted in Culture… Therapy that Sees You
Do you ever feel like you’re holding it all together on the outside—but inside, you’re overwhelmed with depression, anxiety, and family stress, just trying to get through the day?
When depression, anxiety, and family drama weigh on you, it can feel like you’re carrying it all by yourself. And as a person of color, there’s often this quiet pressure to stay strong and keep it together—even when it feels really hard.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy might seem like a big step, but it’s actually a really important one for your mental health.
You deserve someone who gets what you're going through, someone who understands your background and what you’ve been through. Your mental health matters—taking care of yourself is worth it!
Hi, I’m Jhoana, a First Generation Latina Therapist in Los Angeles.
As a Latina therapist, I’m passionate about helping people of color manage the weight of anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I know firsthand how cultural pressures, societal expectations, and personal challenges can impact mental health.
I’m here to create a space where you can feel truly heard and supported—no judgment, just honesty and care. Together, we’ll uncover what’s getting in the way, build your strength, and work toward a life that feels more grounded, balanced, and peaceful.
Why Therapy??
Curious about therapy but worried about judgment from family or friends? Maybe you’ve heard things like “therapy is for crazy people” or “what happens in this family stays in this family.” Messages like these can leave you feeling alone, misunderstood, and stuck.
You might consider therapy if you’re:
Navigating multiple cultures
Feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed
Facing pressure to assimilate
Struggling with family expectations or cultural norms
Experiencing panic or constant worry
Healing from intergenerational trauma
Feeling like you don’t fully belong (“ni de aquí, ni de allá”)
Exhausted from code-switching
Wanting to break unhealthy family cycles
In many communities of color, therapy has been stigmatized—but that’s changing. More of us are choosing healing, growth, and support. You deserve that too.
