The Story of Opalo Holistic Counseling

​

At Opalo Holistic Counseling, I believe that true healing comes from treating the whole person, not just managing symptoms. My approach integrates evidence-based mental health support with holistic wellness, honoring the deep connection between your mind, body, and spirit.

 

From Puerto Rico to Western Mass

I have been dedicated to the mental health field since 2006, supporting diverse communities through a variety of roles. My journey began in Puerto Rico, where I served as a Licensed Psychologist for six years. After relocating to Massachusetts, I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), bringing my bilingual expertise and culturally rooted compassion to the Western Mass community.

 

A Whole-Body Approach to Therapy

My practice blends proven clinical methods, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, with everyday lifestyle strategies. Together, we explore how nutrition, physical activity, and healthy boundaries impact your mental well-being. I also integrate natural wellness practices, drawing on alternative approaches to complement your overall balance, always collaborating safely with your other healthcare providers.

 

Expertise You Can Trust

In addition to my LMHC licensure and bachelor's degree in Science, I hold a post-master’s certificate in Trauma. I have also completed advanced education in neuropsychology, ADHD management, and integrative nutrition for mental health. My ultimate goal is to provide a safe, personalized space that empowers you to heal, grow, and cultivate a deeply fulfilling life.
