More about Hilda

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

As a licensed therapist in California with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on addressing challenges like social anxiety, trauma recovery, mood disorders, and life transitions for young adults and older populations.

Drawing from a multicultural perspective, I provide compassionate care that honors each person's unique background and experiences. My approach is deeply attuned to the nuanced needs of individuals navigating workplace stress, chronic health conditions, caregiver burnout, and interpersonal dynamics.

I am committed to helping clients develop self-love, resilience, and effective coping strategies. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, postpartum depression, or seeking to understand family dynamics, I offer a supportive and understanding therapeutic environment where healing and personal growth can flourish.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
