Individual
Individual therapy is guided by individual’s needs with different therapeutic models such as: EMDR, CPT, CBT and others. People seek individual therapy in different stages of their lives to help guide through the valleys that life’s journey can take us through. At La Verdad, we specialize in trauma-informed and trauma-specific therapy. Trauma, in a simplistic definition, is when we experience a life altering situation that impacts our daily activities. Trauma can be accompanied with mood disorders such as depression and/or anxiety. Through trauma treatment, trauma can be integrated and such symptoms decreased or diminished.
Child/Family
We believe that the foundation of human experience is relationships and through this belief we understand that we get hurt in relationships and we heal in them as well. There are times that families need to reorganize their interactive patterns and need support from a neutral person to hold them as a whole. Children in particular are dependent on relationships and are impacted, either positively or negatively, within these interactions. At La Verdad we are trained and able to hold children’s perspectives through play therapy models and view children as the stars of our future.
Group
There is nothing more real than the experience of being “seen” by another. It is a euphoric and cathartic moment when someone sees us for who we are. It is even more validating when we can experience being seen in a collaborative like-minded safe space, where our experience is held and not rejected. Group therapy is a place where others can unite, belong, and safely share a validating moment. Group therapy will be held in different rounds with different times and treatment focus. Updates will be posted.
Open groups and accepting members:
Couples
We are neurologically wired to have attachments. There is a deep desire for belonging and acceptance. We aim at getting those needs met, but at times we fall short of knowing how to express such needs. Through an attachment and trauma-informed lens we hold and reflect truth by helping couples express their needs, find their voice, and unite.
Psychosocial Evaluations
Psychosocial evaluations for immigration cases for situations such as Waivers (I-601 and I-601A), VAWA and Spousal Abuse, Cancellation of Removal, U-Visas, and Asylum. The evaluation is not therapy. It is an evaluation consisting of in-person interview (interviews) and completion of assessments. A psychosocial forensic report is written and handed to the petitioning attorney in a confidential manner.
Conferences and Speaking Engagements
La Verdad is committed to community awareness, prevention and education. It is through conferences and speaking engagements that we can collaborate with other community agencies, spiritual organizations, and other mental health providers. We participate in panels, community conferences, spiritual organization and church events, networking events, school collaborations and such others.
Case Management
An American psychologist, Abraham Maslow, determined that self actualization can be achieved only through the fulfillment of innate human needs. He developed the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs which explained that basic human needs must be met in order to express our authentic fearless self. At La Verdad, we honor this theory by providing case management to our families and individuals as they engage in therapeutic services. Case management will be determined as needed.
“The most important kind of freedom is to be who you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.”
