Veronica Loera, LCSW

Hello-Hola & Bienvenide! I’m Veronica (Vero) a first-Gen Mexicana/Latina therapist helping other first Gen anxious high achievers who have learned to be hyper-independent, but struggle with feeling activated and then shut down under stress, work to exhaustion, and looping in a cycle of negative self-talk and self-doubt. You may also be the first cycle breaker, college graduate, the first to work toward a dream, but don’t know how to navigate the uncertainties of life which can make you feel stuck and unhappy.

I empower clients to be truth tellers, have choices, make meaning of circumstances, and feel supported by community. I value social justice and inclusivity and affirm my clients’ unique identity. My approach to therapy is to provide trauma-informed treatment grounded in cultural humility and deep respect for each client’s lived experience.

As an EMDR certified therapist, I help you build tools to feel safe enough in your nervous system first. Then we delve into your story to help create meaning and connection. EMDR therapy, has helped my clients decrease shame from past experiences, build adaptive tools to manage life in the present and confidence to know how to cope in the future.

I would love to connect and support you with your goals. Sliding scale rates are available in order to help give you access to the mental health services you need and deserve. Book a free 15-minute phone consultation. Agenda una consulta gratuita de 15 minutos. Hablo español.
