About Karina Larios, LCSW

¡Hola, bienvenides! Are you returning to therapy or curious about unearthing what you’ve had to suppress to survive? Perhaps you’re tired of the same cycles and interested in exploring their roots? It’s a courageous step and a process I’m privileged to guide. I work with adults navigating trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, identity exploration, anxiety, and healthy boundaries. As a trauma-focused therapist, I approach therapy as a collaborative process grounded in the social work core values of service, social justice, dignity and worth of a person, the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. In our work, whether in therapy, Immigration Psychological Evaluations, or clinical supervision, you don’t need to prove your worth — you can arrive as your whole self: layered, complex, grieving, and growing.

Together, we create a space to explore and integrate every part of you, making room for the contradictions — strength and tenderness, doubt and faith, sorrow and humor, logic and intuition — while honoring ancestral wisdom. 

Contact me for a free video consultation to explore if we’re a good match.

 

¿Sientes curiosidad por descubrir aquello que has tenido que reprimir o ocultar para sobrevivir? ¿Quizás estás cansado/a de los mismos patrones y te interesa explorar sus raíces? Es un paso valiente y un proceso que tengo el privilegio de acompañar. Trabajo con personas adultas que están navegando síntomas de trauma, duelo y pérdida, transiciones de vida, exploración de identidad, ansiedad y límites saludables. Como terapeuta con enfoque en trauma, concibo la terapia como un proceso colaborativo basado en los valores fundamentales del trabajo social: servicio, justicia social, dignidad y valor de la persona, la importancia de las relaciones humanas, integridad y competencia. En nuestro trabajo, ya sea en terapia, evaluaciones psicológicas de inmigración o supervisión clínica, no necesitas demostrar tu valía. Te invito a que te presentes sin barreras y juntos podemos crear un espacio para explorar e integrar cada parte de ti.

La sanación a menudo implica abrir espacio a las contradicciones —fuerza y ternura, duda y fe, tristeza y humor, lógica e intuición—y a la vez que honramos la sabiduría y la resiliencia que nos transmitieron quienes nos precedieron.
