Mayra Galarza Acosta, LCSW

Bilingual Psychotherapist

As a Hispanic/Latina Mental Health Professional who is also a first-generation Mexican-American, I understand the importance of a person's need to get culturally informed emotional support. It is essential for me to understand where you come from and provide you with the best therapy care to achieve your goals because I believe it significantly improves symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, and more. Additionally, my work in mental health has brought me to various environments where I've seen the impact of not having specialized support while struggling with diverse emotional needs.

My own experience as a daughter of immigrants brings a unique trauma-informed and cultural lens and has helped me in my years of practice in guiding ethnic minorities to gain insight into themselves, define who they are, heal past traumas, find their place in their community, and adapt and thrive.

I am a Spanish-speaking therapist who seeks to assist you in increasing the quality of your life. Life challenges can significantly interfere with daily activities, but I am here to help. I know that mental health care can be a positive step toward recovery, and I am here for you, and I look forward to helping you and your family.”
