Hi Everyone, I'm Lorena, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Texas, and I provide medication management and supportive psychiatric care for adults. I was raised in a Mexican American household, and I value culturally sensitive care that respects family dynamics, identity, and lived experience. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, postpartum depression or anxiety, schizophrenia, and life stressors such as grief and family conflict. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and not judged.

Hi, I'm Julie Mendizabal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or a life transition that's left you unsteady, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's happening and find lasting change. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're already carrying so much — so if you're feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply know that something needs to change, you're not alone, and you don't have to face it on your own.
