About Mercy Shiekh AMFT, ALPCC, Spanish Speaking Therapist

Spanish Speaking Therapist in California, for English read below Spanish bio:

Soy Terapeuta Bilingüe, Latinoaméricana en donde inicié el camino como profesional en Salud Mental. A lo largo de mi carrera he trabajado con una variedad de pacientes que sufren de ansiedad, han enfrentado procesos de duelo, dolor crónico, enfermedades terminales y otras condiciones de salud que definitivamente afectan la calidad de vida. A través de la aceptación y una presencia compasiva he ayudado a los pacientes y sus familias a comprender mejor sus dificultades, a darles sentido y afrontarlas en el momento presente. Como inmigrante, comprendo de primera mano los desafíos que implica adaptarse a una nueva cultura. He estado trabajado con pacientes imigrantes ayudándolos a identificar y a utilizar sus fortalezas para prosperar en su nuevo entorno. Realizo terapia en inglés y español y disfruto mucho trabajar con inmigrantes de diferentes culturas. En el trabajo conmigo aprenderás a conocerte, a acompañarte y encontrarás  en la auto-compasión una herramienta que podras usar en  cualquier situación y/o momento de desafio. Entiendo que es un reto venir por primera vez a la consulta, te invito a que lo intentes… tu vida no será la misma después. Estoy atenta a resolver tus dudas e inquietudes. Gracias por estar aquí. Acepto pacientes nuevos via Telehealth.

________________________

I am a Spanish Speaking Therapist, from Latin America where I started the Journey as a Mental Health professional. Throughout my career I have worked with a variety of patients suffering from anxiety, coping with grief, chronic pain, terminal illnesses, and other health conditions that definitely affect their life quality. Through acceptance and a compassionate presence, I have helped patients and their families to better understand their difficulties, make sense of them, and face them in the present moment. An immigrant myself, I understand firsthand the challenges involved in adapting to a new culture. I have been helping patients who have immigrated to the United States identify and utilize their strengths to thrive in a new environment. I conduct therapy in English and Spanish and I enjoy very much working with immigrants from different cultures. In working with me you will learn to know better and to accompany yourself, and you will find in self-compassion a tool that you can use in any moment or challenge situation. I understand that it is a challenge to come to the consultation for the first time, I invite you to try it… your life will not be the same afterward. I am here for you. Thank you for being here!
