Paloma Andazola-Reza, LICSW is the owner of Crisálida Healing & Transformation, PLLC. and offers individual and group therapeutic healing, professional consultation, clinical supervision, community wellness workshops, and dialogue facilitation. I am a licensed clinical social (justice) worker (MSW, LICSW), and clinical activist oriented in multimodal, culturally integrative, somatic and expressive centered approaches including plática/narrative/story, expressive arts, somatic experiencing, sensorimotor psychotherapy, EMDR, and the community and theoretical wisdoms of Xicanx, Indigenous, liberation, community, and eco-psychologies.

I have over 25 years of experience working in social services, community care work, grassroots organizing, intimate partner/interpersonal violence/abuse, vulnerable adult abuse, community violence intervention, youth healing and empowerment, disability rights, services and independent living centers, BIPoC and Queer disability histories, services for unhoused disabled folks, human rights commissions, restorative justice, victim/offender mediation, intergroup dialogues, identity exploration, queer resilience, culture-centered healing, abolition and anti-oppressive social justice work.

As a Xicana Mestiza Nepantlera I specialize in supporting Xicanx, Hispañ@, Latine/x Indigenous, Native, First Nation peoples and BIPoC peoples with multiethnic, bi-racial, cross-cultural identities. I am also a disability justice centered healer, coming from my own disability experiences, being raised by intergenerational disabled caregivers, and as a result of extensive activism in collaboration with disabled and neurodivergent peoples. As a cis-queer Xicana, I am fierce in honoring and affirming the unique journeys of 2SLGBTQIA+, nonbinary, gender fluid, gender non-conforming folks in resilience and fierceness and honoring healing at the intersections of multiple identity experiences.
