Meet Our Therapists

Ernestina Perez, LCPC

I founded Latinx Talk Therapy with the intention of providing mental health services to the Latinx community in a space that is culturally competent, bilingual, and non-stigmatizing.

Jessica Morales, LPC

I believe in the power of culturally-informed treatments in the context of a supportive, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. I value each person’s distinct experiences and goals.

Stephanie Vázquez, LCPC

As a Latina, I understand the importance of culturally competent therapy, as well as the battles that the Latinx community faces in society and stigma towards mental health.

Christian Gomez, MA

As a Latinx individual myself, I understand the stigmas that are associated with mental health in our community and culture. I believe that being culturally competent is essential.

Andrea Bardac, LSW

As a Latina individual myself, I understand the importance of honoring and embracing our individual experiences. Our community faces adversities and injustices that have tainted our perspectives, and our mental health.

Jazline Villar, LCSW

As a part of the Latinx community myself, I appreciate the diversity of experiences and wisdom within our community. I have witnessed what it can be like to “get stuck” or overwhelmed by stressors and trauma when on a path to success.

Love her. First visit was great. She’s easy to open up to and by the end of the session she went over the steps that we will be taking to improve every aspect…

Today was my first day going to see her and she was great. She was very open and helpful to what I was saying. She really pointed out things I didn’t realize…

Ernestina is the best therapist I have ever had. She’s attentive, truly listens to me, remembers the details of my life, and I feel like she genuinely cares. I also…

She is very attentive and interested in what I’m saying. She follows up with very interesting questions that make me dive deeper into my feelings…

Dr. Perez was lovely. She was a bit quiet at first, but I think she realized that I like feedback so she started providing more feedback as the session went on…

Great therapist. Super open, comforting but also critical in really positive ways.

Ernestina was great at listening and keying in on important, but not necessarily obvious, points during our session.

I really enjoyed meeting and working with Ernestina Perez. She has been great.

I feel bad for not leaving a rating sooner. Ernestina is a true angel. I’ve been seeing her for about 8 months and I couldn’t possibly be happier…
