Spanish-Speaking Therapy in New York — Terapia en Español

Some things may feel easier to name in Spanish. Others may come more naturally in English. Therapy can make room for the language — or mix of languages — that helps you express what you are carrying.

Peace Love Wellness offers therapy in Spanish for adults across New York. We consider language alongside clinical focus, relationships, family, culture, and the circumstances shaping your life when helping you find a therapist.

You may be here because

  • You think, feel, and dream in Spanish, and doing therapy in English means constantly translating yourself
  • You want a therapist who understands the cultural context — family, faith, expectations — without needing it all explained
  • You tried therapy in English and felt that something important kept getting lost between languages
  • You are looking for care for yourself, a partner, or a parent who is most comfortable in Spanish
  • You move between Spanish and English depending on the feeling, and you want a space where both are welcome

You deserve to do this work in the language where you feel most like yourself. Whether you prefer to speak entirely in Spanish or move between Spanish and English, you are welcome here. Puedes expresarte en el idioma que prefieras.

What Spanish-speaking therapy can help with

  • Working through anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress in your own language
  • Naming feelings and experiences that do not translate cleanly into English
  • Holding family expectations and cultural values with someone who understands them
  • Navigating the strain of living and working between two languages and cultures
  • Care that respects your background rather than treating it as something to explain
  • Support for you or a family member who is most comfortable in Spanish

Michelle’s bilingual care

Michelle Batista, MHC-LP, offers care in English and Spanish for overwhelm, emotional regulation, grief, and bicultural family expectations. Michelle is currently full and accepting waitlist requests.

Speaking the same language can support connection, but it does not mean a therapist shares every part of your cultural experience. Tell us what matters to you, and we will consider language, clinical focus, style, and practical fit together.

Meet Michelle Batista

Terapia en tu propio idioma

En Peace Love Wellness ofrecemos terapia en español para adultos en todo Nueva York. Hay espacio para hablar de tu cultura, tu familia y lo que estás viviendo, sin tener que encontrar las palabras perfectas.

Therapy in Spanish is not simply English therapy translated word for word. It is care that holds the cultural meaning, the family context, and the things that only fully make sense in your own language.

Culture, not just language

Language and culture can shape one another, but speaking the same language does not guarantee a shared cultural background. Tell us which parts of family, faith, community, or belonging matter to you. We will consider them alongside language and clinical fit.

We take your background seriously as part of the work — not as information to get past, but as part of who you are.
