About Lalo
Lalo (he/they) is an eclectic therapist who recognizes that healing is not linear.
He can help you explore your strengths, your identities, and how you’re shaped by the world around you. Lalo believes that meaningful progress comes from taking things one day at a time and making small, intentional changes to build the life you envision.
Lalo helps LGBTQ+ folks, first-generation immigrants, BIPOC, polyamorous and ENM folk find space to breathe, continue to heal, and discover more about themselves. His lived experience with intergenerational trauma, neurodivergence, BPD, race, gender, and sexuality allows him to help others navigate their experiences.
Lalo uses a spiritual, eclectic approach to help people heal, create boundaries, and prioritize themselves. They pull from somatic, decolonial, anti-oppressive, and spiritual frameworks. They also use DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing, feminist therapy, and humanistic therapy, and are continuously learning new tools to collaborate with people on their healing journeys. Lalo also incorporates tarot, astrology, art activities, and other creative elements to help you explore your feelings and identity. They’re open to alternative types of therapy, such as text sessions.

…you want a place where you don’t have to explain yourself and feel seen and affirmed
