¡Hola! Soy Haydeelin Martinez de Jesus, una Trabajadora Social Licenciada (LSW), orgullosamente Boricua y Afrolatina. Mi práctica se fundamenta en una sólida base académica, que incluye un Bachillerato en Artes de la Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico y una Maestría en Trabajo Social Clínico de la Universidad Loyola Chicago. Esta formación se nutre de una especialización en salud mental para inmigrantes, solicitantes de asilo y refugiados, lo que me impulsa a aplicar todas las prácticas basadas en la evidencia a través de un lente decolonial que prioriza las experiencias vividas y la sabiduría comunitaria.
Mi camino me llevó desde las vibrantes calles de Puerto Rico hasta el corazón de Pensilvania, una experiencia que me dio una comprensión profunda de lo que significa navegar entre culturas, idiomas e identidades.
Mi trabajo como terapeuta nace de mi pasión por la conexión auténtica y el bienestar de individuos y comunidades; no creo en ‘arreglar’ a las personas, sino en colaborar contigo para descubrir tu fuerza interior y crear la vida que mereces. Opero desde un lente interseccional, reconociendo que tu bienestar está moldeado por múltiples identidades y sistemas de poder. Mi enfoque se basa en principios informados por el trauma y un marco centrado en las fortalezas (strengths-based), trabajando siempre desde un lugar de humildad y colaboración.
Mi objetivo es crear un espacio seguro donde podamos calmar tu mente ansiosa y encontrar quietud. También te acompaño a sanar tu relación con tu cuerpo y liberarte de la presión de los ideales de belleza externos. Trabajaremos para fortalecer tus vínculos aprendiendo a establecer límites saludables y, cuando sea necesario, reparar y reconstruir relaciones importantes, permitiéndote navegar grandes transiciones en la vida sin perderte de vista. Mi terapia es un espacio culturalmente sensible y afirmativo para todos. Si estás manejando la ansiedad o simplemente buscando un lugar para ser tú mismo sin juicios, estoy aquí para caminar a tu lado.
Hi! I’m Haydeelin Martinez de Jesus, a Licensed Social Worker (LSW), proudly Boricua and Afrolatina. My practice is built on a strong academic foundation, including a Bachelor of Arts from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico and a Master of Clinical Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. This training is informed by a specialization in the mental health of immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees, which compels me to apply all evidence-based practices through a decolonial lens that prioritizes lived experiences and community wisdom.
My journey has taken me from the vibrant streets of Puerto Rico to the heart of Pennsylvania, an experience that gave me a deep understanding of what it means to navigate between cultures, languages, and identities. My work as a therapist is born from my passion for authentic connection and individuals and community wellness; I don’t believe in ‘fixing’ people, but in collaborating with you to discover your inner strength and create the life you deserve. I operate from an intersectional lens, recognizing that your well-being is shaped by multiple identities and systems of power. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed principles and a strengths-based framework, always working from a place of humility and collaboration.
My goal is to create a safe space where we can calm your anxious mind and find stillness. I also support you in healing your relationship with your body and liberating yourself from the pressure of external beauty ideals. We’ll work to strengthen your bonds by learning to set healthy boundaries and, when necessary, repair and rebuild important relationships, allowing you to navigate major life transitions without losing sight of yourself. My therapy is a culturally sensitive and affirming space for all. If you are managing anxiety or simply looking for a place to be yourself without judgment, I am here to walk alongside you.
