Getting to know Amaranta Henriquez

I work with individuals who are navigating life transitions, identity shifts, body image concerns, self-esteem, and the pressure of figuring out “what comes next.” Many of my clients are in their 20s and are working through changes in relationships, career, school, family expectations, confidence, and their sense of self. My approach is direct, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I believe therapy should take into account the full context of who you are, including your culture, family system, environment, community, and lived experiences. I weave cultural competency into my work so we can better understand your challenges through the lens of the world you come from and the systems you move through. My style is warm but direct, and I believe real growth comes from being willing to do the deeper work.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In sessions, I provide an open, nonjudgmental space where you can be honest, vulnerable, and fully yourself. At the same time, I will challenge you to confront patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. My style is warm but direct, and I believe real growth comes from being willing to do the deeper work.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I especially enjoy supporting clients who are working on self-worth, body confidence, boundaries, life direction, and personal growth. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, insecure, or unsure of your next step, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and capable of creating a life that feels aligned with who you are. Our sessions will be 40 minutes long, goal oriented and challenging. I will do followup work each week to ensure that you are sticking to your goals and staying true to the work.

  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
