Hi, I am Ara Mascarenas
I am a bilingual, empathetic, passionate, playful therapist who can help you find a way back to your authentic self. I've worked with children, teens, and young adults in various settings including schools, community centers, and my private practice.
I don’t claim to be the expert on your life—you are. I trust that you and your body already hold the wisdom you need.
My role is to walk alongside you through the mess, offering guidance as you reconnect with yourself. I believe you. I believe your feelings. There is nothing wrong with you, and you have no bad parts.
Together, we will uncover your path, release shame, and empower you to live authentically.
I can’t promise therapy will be easy, but it will be worth it.
