Your Healing. Your Strength. Your Story.
SVZ Counseling Services provides culturally responsive, trauma-informed individual and group therapy for teens, adults, and families across Virginia. Bilingual services available in English and Spanish.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Provider (LSATP) with a deep commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive care to individuals, adolescents, and families across Virginia.
As a bilingual, first-generation Latina clinician, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to the work. I believe that healing happens in spaces where you feel truly seen — not just treated. My practice is grounded in the knowledge that each person's journey is unique, and that with the right support, meaningful change is possible.
I specialize in substance use counseling, adolescent mental health, and supporting clients navigating the complexities of bicultural identity, family dynamics, and life transitions.
"You don't have to navigate this alone. There is always a path forward — let's find yours together."

A growing library of neurotransmitter-informed wellness apps you can license for your practice — pick what you need, co-branded with your name, paid once, yours forever.
As an LPC and LSATP, I built the Bloom Suite because I kept wishing my clients had something grounded and clinically safe to use between sessions. Each app maps mood states to neurotransmitter activity, offers tailored coping suggestions, and includes bilingual English/Spanish support.
The library currently includes eight apps spanning teens to seniors, daily wellness to active recovery to nicotine cessation to anxiety wind-down — with more in development. License individual apps or build a bundle that fits your clinical work. When you license, your name and practice appear throughout. Your clients experience it as your tool.
Skills practiced in session are easy to lose the moment a client walks out the door. Each Bloom app gives clients simple, low-friction access to between-session practice — plus a narrative component they can save or print as a PDF to bring to their next session. Browse by category, try the demo, then license what fits your practice.
Neurotransmitter-informed tools that help clients name what they're feeling, understand the chemistry underneath, and choose a regulating action. Voice and language adjust to developmental stage.
Maps mood states to their underlying neurochemistry — dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, GABA — and pairs each with a regulating action. Reflection prompts are voiced for teen and young-adult developmental stages.
The adult-voice edition of the neurochemistry framework, with reflection prompts and language tuned for adult and senior clients. Same model, mature register.

A five-phase end-of-day wind-down for clients whose nervous systems can't settle. Sensory-first interventions (cold water, pressure, bilateral movement, vibration) — no breathwork required, designed for clients where breath-focused tools backfire.

I am currently in-network with the following insurance providers. Your insurance card may show coverage under a parent network — please reach out to verify before your first session.
Individual sessions $180 · Couples sessions $200. A limited sliding scale is available for qualifying clients — please ask about availability when you reach out.
For out-of-network insurance, I provide superbills you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. Most PPO plans offer partial out-of-network coverage — check with your insurance about your specific benefits.
To avoid surprises at billing, please verify your mental health benefits with your insurance company before your first appointment. When you call them, helpful questions to ask include:
• Do I have outpatient mental health coverage?
• What is my copay or coinsurance per session?
• Do I have a deductible? Has it been met?
• Do I need a referral from my primary care doctor?
• How many sessions per year are covered?
Need help? If you're unsure how to verify your benefits or what your plan covers, reach out — we can walk through it together before your first session.
