Irene Barraza, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

As a Queer Chicanx practitioner, I center my work to serve those furthest from opportunity.

I believe in our innate capacity towards expansion and healing - individually and collectively - es nuestro derecho sentir alegría y amor! It is our right to feel joy and love! Whether supporting a system, or an individual, I engage from a relational and systems-based practice with a trauma-informed and strength-based approach.

In therapy, I hope to bring awareness to how and where the body and mind stores experiences and emotions, and how then to engage those spaces within us with gentle curiosity and an openness to new information that could support healing and restoration.

Similarly, I also believe in exploring the heightened experiences that occur based on our identity and positionality, especially for those that journey at the intersections.

In addition to individual psychotherapy, I also provide clinical supervision and consultation. Please visit my site to learn more!
