CANELA MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING PLLC

Welcome to Canela Counseling

I am a bilingual licensed mental health counselor providing virtual therapy in the state of New York. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Bilingual/Latinx Mental Health from Teachers, College, Columbia University in 2017. Since then, I have helped a diverse range of children, teens, and adults overcome anxieties and build stronger senses of selves. I founded Canela Counseling to provide culturally responsive and trauma-informed care to underrepresented communities across New York.

Why “Canela?”        

I named my practice after Bobby Capó’s song, “Piel Canela” or “Cinnamon Skin” to represent my brown community. Like cinnamon, Latino culture is incredibly rich and diverse. Just as cinnamon comes in various forms such as sticks, powder, and oil, Latino culture encompasses a wide range of traditions, languages, cuisines, music, and customs across different countries and regions.

¿Por qué “Canela?” 

Le puse el nombre a mi práctica en honor a la canción de Bobby Capó, “Piel Canela” o “Cinnamon Skin” para representar a mi comunidad latina. Al igual que la canela, la cultura latina es increíblemente rica y diversa. Así como la canela se presenta en diversas formas, como ramas, polvo y aceite, la cultura latina abarca una amplia gama de tradiciones, idiomas, cocinas, música y costumbres en diferentes países y regiones.
