About Monica Encina-Romero, LCSW

Latina Therapist Helping You Heal: Culturally Rooted Therapy for Stress, Trauma & Self-Love
Are you constantly giving to others but feeling empty inside? Do you feel overwhelmed, carrying the weight of your family, your culture, and your own unspoken struggles? You don’t have to do it alone.

I help Latinas, first-generation individuals, and fellow therapists heal from stress, trauma, and the pressure of balancing cultural expectations with their true selves. As a therapist, I also understand the emotional weight of holding space for others. Whether you’re a mental health professional navigating burnout or someone seeking deeper healing, you deserve peace, self-care, and a life where you feel fully seen.

Your Healing Starts Here
I specialize in supporting adults, adolescents, families, and therapists through:
Trauma & Life Transitions – Heal from past wounds and find clarity in your next steps.
Immigration & Identity Struggles – Navigate cultural expectations and reclaim your sense of self.
Stress, Anxiety & Burnout – Release emotional exhaustion and reconnect with yourself.
Immigration Evaluations – Culturally sensitive mental health assessments to support your immigration case and help protect your right to stay in the U.S.
Therapist Support & Healing – Helping mental health professionals process their own emotional burdens and prevent burnout.

Why Work With Me?
I don’t just understand these struggles—I’ve lived them. As the first child in my family born in the U.S. and a mom of six, I know the unspoken burdens that come with being the one everyone relies on. I help my clients—and my fellow therapists—break free from stress, guilt, and self-doubt so they can step into their power.

Culturally Rooted & Holistic – I honor your story and integrate your culture into your healing.
Bilingual (Spanish & English) – Therapy in the language that feels most comfortable for you.
Flexible & Accessible – Virtual sessions in AL, KS, MD, MO, NC, NY, and TX with sliding-scale options.
Compassionate Pricing – If my rate is a concern, let’s talk. Your healing matters, and I will work with you to find a solution.

Take the First Step Today
You’ve been putting yourself last for too long. Healing isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation for the life you deserve.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Let’s take the first step together—toward healing, self-love, and the peace you deserve. I’d be honored to walk this path with you. Reach out today, and let’s create a space where you feel truly seen and supported
