About Sonia Liliana Liggins

Sonia L Liggins (Lily) is a bilingual and bicultural mental health counselor, proudly grounded in her experiences as the daughter of immigrant parents and growing up in California. With a commitment to culturally sensitive therapy, she has practiced across the United States, helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys with compassion and understanding.

As an ovarian cancer survivor, Lily brings a unique perspective to her work, specializing in women’s wellness and supporting young adult mental health. Her personal experiences allow her to connect authentically with clients, creating a safe and empowering environment for healing and resilience.

In addition to her clinical practice, Lily is dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues within the Latinx community and supporting young cancer survivors. She enjoys sharing her insights at workshops and conferences, inspiring others to embrace their journeys and prioritize their well-being. Outside of work, Lily enjoys hiking the Tucson trails, getting outdoors with her family and practicing power yoga, which enrich her holistic approach to therapy.

Past Talks

2018, Trauma & Resiliency—The Latino Immigrant Experience (in partnership with Tanager Place in Cedar Rapids, Iowa & The Resiliency & Trauma-Informed Care Symposium)

Latinos are the second largest population and the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the U.S. The state of Iowa, is no exception. Latinos are also the largest racial or ethnic minority group, and population growth is expected to double in size by the year 2050. This population growth presents us a unique opportunity to understand key issues and trends related to the Latino and immigrant community. We will explore trauma exposure in pre-migration, during migration, and post-migration experiences, as well as its impact on mental health needs. We will highlight the importance of Latino values in building resilient communities, and address culturally sensitive ways to support Latino individuals and families as helping professionals.

2019, ¡No estamos solos!- La salud mental y la experiencia del inmigrante (in partnership with the City of Longmont, Colorado & Supporting Action For Mental Health Latinx Action committee)

As a Latinx community, I will lead a dialogue on the impact of immigration on mental health. We will identify the challenges faced by many immigrant communities, both at a national and local level and discuss the intangible cost of the American dream, address common barriers to the access of mental health in the Latinx community, understand how to identify mental health struggles in ourselves and in our families, as well as how to access both traditional talk therapy and other culturally sensitive supports.
