More about Bertha
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and personal challenges. My practice centers on women's mental health, with a deep understanding of multicultural experiences and family dynamics. I bring expertise in addressing communication challenges, body image concerns, postpartum experiences, and immigration-related stress.
My bilingual background in English and Spanish allows me to connect authentically with diverse communities. I am committed to creating a compassionate, affirming therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences of guilt, shame, and personal growth. My approach honors each individual's unique cultural context and lived experiences.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients navigating family of origin issues, codependency, eating-related challenges, and complex interpersonal dynamics. My goal is to empower individuals to develop healthier relationships, stronger self-understanding, and meaningful personal transformation.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
