Hi everyone! I know I’ve been a bit MIA these past few weeks, but it’s been for good reason. I was busy preparing for the Latino Conservation Week event, celebrating my birthday, traveling to LA, going to Disneyland, seeing my favorite singer Camilo in concert for the first time, witnessed a beautiful proposal right in front of me and spent some much-needed quality time with family while limiting my electronics use. I needed a reset. Starting my practice has been such an exciting journey, but I’ll admit it’s also been a bit overwhelming. When you’re starting something new, it’s natural for those normal anxieties to creep in — ‘Am I doing this right?’ ‘What will people think?’ It can bring a wave of emotions, and that’s okay. I’m learning to embrace those feelings and trust the process. I’m officially two months in, and I just want to say thank you to all of my followers for your continued support. I’m so grateful for you all. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been focused on being more mindful, really checking in with myself, and listening to what my body needed — which was to recharge. I gave myself permission to say no, allowing myself the space I needed to process everything. Now, I’m excited to start sharing all the content I’ve been working on and bring you some exciting updates for Mar & Sol Mental Health Services, PLLC. To kick things off, here are a few of my favorite moments from the past few weeks that bring me so much joy. 🌞 ✨What has your body been telling you it needs lately? ✨What moments bring you joy? I’d love to read your responses in the comments! #mentalhealthmatters #marandsolmentalhealth #therapist #reset #bilingualtherapist #nevergiveuponyourdreams

Let’s talk about feeling stuck in past trauma! Trauma can keep us feeling trapped in old patterns and prevent us from moving forward, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or even disconnected from ourselves and others. But today, we’re going to explore ways to work through it with some practical, feel-good strategies & reminders: 🌟 EMDR is your lifeline: EMDR is an evidence-based practice that helps you process trauma and allows your brain to heal. As a trained therapist in EMDR, I can guide you through this process, making it easier to release painful memories and move forward with a lighter heart. 🌟 Self-compassion is your best friend: Be kind to yourself as you work through your healing. It’s okay to feel vulnerable or unsure — healing takes time. 🌟 Boundaries are non-negotiable!: Schedule time for yourself and say “no” to anything that drains your energy. Prioritizing your healing is key to growth. 🌟 Resilience is your superpower: Even when it feels tough, remember that you’ve survived so much already. Trust that you can continue to grow stronger with each step forward. What are your go-to strategies for healing from trauma?

🤒 I was under the weather this weekend, and it got me thinking about how important it is to care for our mental health when we’re physically unwell. Here are three tips to keep in mind: ✨ Be kind to yourself. It’s easy to get frustrated when you’re not feeling well, but remember to show yourself some compassion. Rest and recovery are essential—don’t feel guilty about taking the time you need. ✨ Practice gentle mindfulness. When you’re sick, your mind can race with worries. Slow down, focus on your breathing, or listen to soothing sounds. This can help ease anxiety and allow your body and mind to relax. ✨ Stay connected. Even if you’re stuck at home, reach out to a friend or loved one. A quick chat or text can lift your spirits and remind you that you’re not alone. 🌟 Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your body. So, if you’re feeling under the weather, give yourself grace and take it one day at a time. You’ve got this! Did this resonate with you today?

In honor of National Latina Day today, I’m sharing a special moment with my abuelita, whom we call Yita. Six years ago, I asked her what happiness meant to her, and her answer was simple yet profound: It’s peace with myself, feeling harmony, tranquility and family. Growing up, Yita was always open about mental health and fostered a safe space for me to express myself. She taught me the gift of listening and the incredible value it holds. 💛 What does happiness mean to you? 💛Is it found in the embrace of loved ones? 💛In moments of peace? 💛Or in the harmony you create within yourself? Take a moment today to connect with your loved ones and ask them what happiness means to them. You might discover something deeply meaningful. As a therapist, I’m here to support you in exploring what brings you happiness and fulfillment. Let’s work together to create a life that feels authentic and aligned with what matters most to you. 🌟 #NationalLatinaDay #LatinaTherapist #PeaceWithin #TherapyJourney #BilingualTherapist #healingtogether
