About Liliana TENA, LCSW
You don’t have to carry this all on your own.
My journey into the mental health field was driven by a desire to break down barriers and challenge the stigma surrounding mental health in my community. As a bilingual therapist, I understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges that can impact one's mental well-being, and I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care to individuals from all walks of life.
please Hear me when I say:
Being here doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re strong.
I want you to know that whether you're seeking solace from anxiety, wrestling with the weight of depression, or simply yearning for a compassionate ear, know that you've found support in this journey. Together, we'll uncover resilience, foster growth, and weave the threads of hope into your story. I'll present myself authentically, provide encouragement and wholeheartedly commit to supporting you and your journey
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that it is not a one-size fits all.
At the heart of my approach lies a commitment to guiding you on a deeply personal journey of healing, one that resonates with your unique essence. I am deeply rooted in the pursuit of social and racial justice, and I weave this passion into our work together. In our collaboration, I honor the profound influence of your culture, surroundings, familial heritage, and the intricate tapestry of intergenerational experiences and trauma. Together, we navigate these depths with empathy, forging a path toward profound transformation.
Therapy sessions are a combination of talking and exercises whatever makes sense for you. We will always go at your pace, never pushing you to a place you’re not ready to be.
Therapy with me is…
-
Your journey toward healing is as individual as you are, and I'm committed to creating a therapeutic experience that honors your unique strengths, challenges, and experiences. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other issue, I'll work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that's designed specifically for you.
-
Honesty isn't just a value – it's the foundation of our therapeutic approach. I believe that true healing begins with honesty – with being honest with ourselves, with each other, and with the process of therapy itself. I'll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and I'll provide you with an honest, transparent, and straightforward perspective on your journey toward healing.
-
When you choose to work with me, you can trust that your privacy will be respected at all times. I adhere to strict ethical standards and confidentiality guidelines, ensuring that your personal information remains secure and protected. Your journey toward healing is deeply personal, and it's essential that you feel safe and comfortable sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a confidential environment.
-
I believe in the transformative power of deep, meaningful therapy. I understand that true healing often requires delving beneath the surface, exploring the depths of our thoughts, feelings, and experiences to uncover the underlying patterns and beliefs that shape our lives. Therapy is not just about managing symptoms or finding quick fixes – it's about uncovering the root causes of your struggles and addressing them at their source.
