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 over 18 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, adolescents (14+), couples and families across Virginia. As a bilingual Latina clinician, I bring both professional expertise and deep personal understanding to the work of healing and growth.
I believe that meaningful change 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 with the right support, lasting change is possible.
What I Treat: I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and ADHD. I also work with substance use and recovery, and I have particular expertise supporting professionals, parents, couples and caregivers who are managing multiple life demands while prioritizing their mental health.
How I Work: I integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs:
"You don't have to navigate this alone. There is always a path forward — let's find yours together."
Evidence-based, culturally responsive care for teens, adults, and families. All services available via secure telehealth across Virginia.
One-on-one sessions tailored to your unique needs and goals. Addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, identity, and personal growth using evidence-based approaches.

All Virginia · doxy.me/svzcounselingEvery session is grounded in evidence-based methods and delivered with genuine warmth, cultural humility, and respect for your autonomy.
A collaborative, non-judgmental approach that honors your ambivalence and helps you explore your own motivation for change — at your own pace, in your own words.
Practical tools to identify thought patterns, understand emotional triggers, and build lasting coping strategies. DBT skills — mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness — help you manage intense emotions and navigate complex relationships.
Grounding techniques, breath work, and body-awareness practices that help you regulate emotions, manage cravings, and stay present — especially during life's hardest moments.
Every interaction is guided by an understanding that behavior makes sense in context. Safety, trust, and empowerment are the foundation of every therapeutic relationship here.
Your cultural background, language, family values, and lived experience are not obstacles to treatment — they are central to it. This is a space where all of you belongs.
You are not broken — you have protective parts that have been trying to keep you safe. IFS helps you befriend and work with the protective parts within you, so you can access the compassionate, creative Self underneath. Healing comes from connection, not criticism.
Everything you need to get started, connect with your provider, and manage your care — all in one place.

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.

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.
