Bienvenid@s
Welcome

Hola, my name is Evelyn Mejia, I am a first generation, bilingual and bicultural Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, born in Guatemala and raised in San Francisco's Mission district.

​

I specialize in working with Firstgeneration (aka Firstgen) Latin@s in exploring their bicultural experience, unpacking trauma, unlearning internalized programing and learning true self expression, so they can thrive, not just survive!

Some of the areas of focus that I support clients through include: depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, generational trauma, inner child (childhood) healing, biculturalism, parenting, life transitions and relationships 

​

My approach is also deeply informed by theories and practices of decolonizing psychotherapy and healing. This includes working from a deeply relational, holistic and somatic perspective. Focusing on building safety and trust in our working relationship because the quality of the therapeutic relationship is essential to the overall therapeutic experience.

​

To aid clients in their process, I use both a cultural and trauma lens and implement elements from different therapeutic modalities because I don't believe one modality fits all and because I believe every client is unique, as is their healing and their needs. Attachment-based, psychodynamic, narrative, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are some of the therapeutic modalities that I incorporate in my work with clients.

​

In addition to psychotherapy services, I also provide immigration evaluations for trauma immigration cases such as U-visas and asylum.

​

I look forward to connecting!
