Hi, I’m Josefina.

I’m an LPC in Texas, and the person behind Sierra Therapy. I believe therapy should be a space where you can finally take a breath, identify areas in your life you would like to change, and learn skills that will help you in your day to day life.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I’m not here to tell you who you should be or what decisions you should make. Instead, I want to help you better understand yourself, work through the experiences that have shaped you and develop the tools to create a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

I work with adults, couples, and families impacted by PTSD/Trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Gottman Couples Therapy.

As a bilingual therapist, I provide therapy in both English and Spanish. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming space for people from different cultural backgrounds and supporting immigrant and multicultural communities.

Throughout the last 6 years, I spent my time working with survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault in non-profit agencies. My training in domestic violence extends to perpetrators as I have experience facilitating Battering Intervention & Prevention Program (BIPP) groups for men who have been charged with domestic violence. These experiences shaped the way I practice today and taught me how important it is to see the whole person rather than reducing someone to a diagnosis or a single problem.

Complete a First Session Appointment

Once you are ready to get started, paperwork will be sent over through email. Your first session is a chance to slow down, talk about what’s going on, and begin making sense of what you are experiencing. We’ll talk about what you are hoping to get from therapy and start a plan together.
