Bilingual Psychotherapist Intern
Angelica Miranda is a bilingual therapist passionate about helping clients feel seen, understood, and empowered in their healing journey. As a first-generation Latina of Mexican and Cuban heritage, she is committed to creating a welcoming, culturally affirming space where clients can show up authentically and begin building the life they want.
Her therapy style is warm, genuine, and collaborative. Angélica believes healing begins with feeling safe enough to be yourself, and she works alongside clients with compassion, curiosity, and gentle honesty. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), person-centered care, and trauma-informed, strengths-based approaches to help clients better understand themselves and navigate life’s challenges.
Angélica is especially passionate about working with first-generation individuals, young adults, students, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. She commonly supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family conflict, identity exploration, self-esteem, and life transitions while helping them build healthier relationships and stronger boundaries.
At the heart of her work is the belief that healing can transform not only individuals but entire families. She hopes clients leave therapy feeling more confident, connected to themselves, and empowered to embrace meaningful change while honoring their culture, values, and lived experiences.
"Your identity isn’t something to fix. It’s something to honor"
We know Latinx mental health is shaped by more than stress. Things like language, family loyalty, shame and gender roles al impact how we carry and express pain. You don’t have to translate your story here-we get it.
Angelica helps clients move through anxiety, grief, identity exploration, depression, and family stress with care and cultural understanding. She incorporates trauma-informed practices, narrative therapy, somatic awareness, and liberation psychology to support clients in making meaning of their experiences. Angelica is especially attuned to the emotional needs of LGBTQ+ and first-gen Latinx clients, providing a space where healing includes laughter, reflection, and reclaiming your story.
You don’t need to have it all figured out to deserve support. Whether you’re processing your identity, breaking generational patterns, or learning to speak your truth, Angelica is here to hold space for all of it. In Chicago or anywhere in Illinois, she offers therapy that sees the whole you.
