Nelliana Spanish Therapist

I’m Nelliana Acuna

A multicultural bilingual immigrant therapist. MS, LMFT-S.

As a psychotherapist with over a decade of experience since 2008, I specialize in providing support to individuals, couples, and families. I understand the challenges of opening up to a stranger about your most intimate thoughts, vulnerabilities, and untold stories because I’ve been in your shoes.

My extensive background encompasses in-depth studies in psychology, sex therapy, communication dynamics, as well as couples and family therapy. I’ve not only applied this knowledge to my own life and family but also worked with numerous families from diverse cultural backgrounds and across various countries, giving me a wealth of practical experience.

I recognize that traumatic experiences can leave lasting imprints on your life, but I also believe that these experiences don’t have to define you. There are ways to integrate them into your life positively.

I’ve personally experienced the highs and lows of living in the United States with its diverse backgrounds, values, and challenges. I understand the sacrifices and struggles that come with starting and raising a family here.

A fresh approach to therapy and supervision

My relational approach is refreshingly collaborative, respectful, and grounded in authenticity. I use innovative and adaptable strategies to connect with you, tailoring solutions that align with your unique circumstances.

I bring patience, presence, attention, concern, and affection to our sessions. I deeply understand your individuality and won’t label you with limiting categories. I’ll celebrate your progress, even the subtlest changes, and highlight your strengths and resources, many of which you may not be aware of.

I’ll demonstrate how you’ve achieved your goals in the past, helping you see that it’s possible. My admiration for your efforts will be genuine because I understand the significance of small but profound changes.

I’m committed to finding creative ways to guide you through the process of growth, encouraging reflection on fixed ideas and discovering new possibilities.

If you ever feel that your needs aren’t being met, I’m dedicated to making the necessary adjustments to ensure you receive the support you require. Your satisfaction is my priority.

Your well-being is just a call away
