About Us
How our passion developed?
​
We are Nelly and Carlos, Spanish speaking and Christian mental health therapists. Having worked in church workshops and retreats helped us identify the need to work on the emotional aspects of ourselves. Working with our own emotions led us to the profession of social work and psychology. We decided to study mental health professions because we recognized that being physically healthy is not the same as feeling emotionally stable.
​
An urge to help others recover
We feel the desire to help people find hope in their lives again. Through the years we have known many who have lost faith, self-love, hope, and happiness. Observing this is sad, but we do not want to remain in the observation. We want to help others to recover faith, self-love, hope, and happiness. We have also seen how many live in anxiety and cannot feel the peace and calm that each one of us deserves. Our purpose is to help you recover your peace, you do not deserve to live without it.
We see the human being as an integral entity and we consider traumatic or stressful childhood experiences as an important part of our work with you. We know that traumatic experiences, attachment or abandonment problems, lack of forgiveness, and resentment can lead to difficulties in mental health and relationships with others. We understand that processing difficult experiences, and working on forgiveness and resentment can help you become a better version of yourself.
​
You are not the problem… you are the solution!
​
We don't see the people we work with as the problem, because you are NOT the problem. It is the experiences that you have lived that have impacted your life, specifically your way of thinking, feeling, and acting. We are passionate about helping you identify how your past is affecting how you feel and act today. We are passionate about helping you identify that with the right tools you can begin to see your present and your future with hope and optimism.
​
