Culturally Affirming Therapy for Latina Women in Chicago

Therapy that Honors Your Voice, Story, and Roots

At Embrace Corazón Counseling, we provide individual therapy for self-identified women of Latin American ancestry who are ready to take ownership of their lives, stories, and cultural identity.

We understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming or even unfamiliar—especially when your lived experience hasn’t always been reflected in traditional mental health spaces. That’s why we do things differently.

You don’t have to
hold it all alone anymore.

Maybe you’ve been the strong one. The dependable one. The one who keeps going, even when the expectations on your shoulders feel impossibly heavy. You’ve spent so long caring for others, it’s hard to remember what you need.

Maybe you’ve tried to ignore the voice inside that’s asking for more space, more clarity, more connection—but it keeps getting louder.

If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, unpack what’s been passed down, and explore who you really are beneath all the expectations, therapy can help.

You deserve a space that feels safe, liberating, and yours.
