Eveling Crisostomo, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Coach, speaker and cycle breaker on a mission to transform how professionals understand and serve immigrant Latino communities.
Born in Mexico and raised as an undocumented immigrant in the United States, Eveling knows firsthand what it means to navigate systems that were not designed for her and to find healing on the other side of it.
Her personal experience as an undocumented woman who pursued higher education, earned her licensure and built a private practice without a roadmap gives her a perspective that no textbook can teach.
She is the founder of Healing Desde La Raíz, a culturally grounded therapy and coaching practice serving first-generation Latinas across Texas, and the creator of the RAÍZ Framework, a four-stage model for breaking generational cycles through Recognition, Awakening, Illumination and Zealous rising.
Her clinical approach integrates trauma-informed care, somatic awareness, nature-based healing and liberation psychology to serve clients whose experiences have been historically underserved by Western mental health systems.
As a trainer and speaker, Eveling brings the same warmth, directness and cultural fluency to every room she enters. She challenges professionals to move beyond cultural competency into culturally liberated practice, work that does not just acknowledge the experiences of marginalized communities but actively centers their liberation.
Eveling speaks and trains for the communities she came from. And she does it with her whole heart.
