Therapy Services for the Latinx Community
Welcome to Latinx Talk Therapy. We’re so happy you’re here! Our Chicago Latinx therapists focus on providing culturally aware counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy to the Latinx community in Illinois. Our team is passionate about Latinx mental health and is also a part of the community we serve. Our mission is to help the Latinx community overcome mental health obstacles and feel empowered to thrive in the world. Together, we can help you reach your wellness and mental health goals!
Our Talk
Therapy Services
Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, grief, or stress, we’ve been there with clients just like you. We also understand the unique barriers the Latinx community faces: the stigma of being called “loco” for seeking help, the pressure to keep everything within the family, navigating life between two cultures, and the lack of therapists who truly understand our community. That’s exactly why we exist.
Our therapists are trained in CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and other therapeutic approaches to help you build real tools for lasting change. You don’t have to explain your culture here. We already get it.
Our Expertise
Hablamos Español
Some feelings don’t translate. When you can express yourself in Spanish, you don’t have to search for the right words or worry that something gets lost. Our bilingual therapists speak both English and Spanish fluently, so you can switch between languages whenever it feels right. Whether you’re more comfortable in one language or flow between both, we meet you where you are.
Trauma is an individual’s emotional and physiological response to a distressing experience. With PTSD and trauma therapy, you’ll be able to process and integrate the negative emotional responses your traumatic event creates. No two individuals live the same experiences. As such, it’s necessary to seek honest, compassionate therapy services when it comes to PTSD and trauma.

What Sets Latinx Talk Therapy Apart.
Hay Que Hablar!
- At Latinx Talk Therapy, we care about your emotional and mental well-being.
- We are proud to be a Latinx-owned and operated therapy clinic.
- Our clinical therapists have Latinx backgrounds and are familiar with the mental and emotional struggles our community experiences. This includes mental health challenges like inequity, racial disparities, stigma “no estoy loco,” a need for Spanish fluent therapists, privacy concerns “el que diran,” and cultural differences.
- We hear you, and we understand what you’re going through.
- Our goal is to help you put your traumatic experiences in the past so you can achieve a positive and uplifting future. We do so by building healing, healthy connections with our clients and offering our guidance and empathy.

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 of my life. Excited to continue seeing her to make the long-overdue and much-needed changes needed in my life.

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 appreciate her knowledge of how the brain works physically and how that translates to emotions and thoughts…

I really enjoyed meeting and working with Ernestina Perez. She has been great.
Female
Age: 36
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. She was very kind and her office was warm and welcoming…

As a Latino man, I had many biases against therapy… I realized there is no shame in getting help. I am stronger thanks to therapy.

I felt really comfortable and Marilyn made me feel like everything I was saying was valid. Instead of just agreeing she provided me with resources since Day 1 that have really helped me.

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 and was able to help me understand where I need help on certain things!

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. Well I mean I could be, that’s why I’m still seeing her, but you know what I mean.
