Getting to know America Islas

Hi there, I'm America! My focus is LGBTQI2-S Affirmative Therapy because I believe everyone deserves to be supported, understood, and celebrated during their therapy experience. Whether working individually with children or adults, with a couple or a family, I focus on establishing a safe environment. I believe that we can build a trusting relationship to help you understand the dynamics creating issues in your life and guide you to learn new ways to live with more fulfillment and joy. I hold a Master's in Counseling from San Francisco State University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support diverse clients effectively. My approach As your therapist, I will provide you with a safe and welcoming space where you can develop self-awareness and love your authentic self. My focus I specialize in working with individuals who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning or Queer, Intersex, Two-Spirited, Gender Non-Binary, or Gender Awesome. I understand that overcoming personal, relationship, and family issues can feel overwhelming for those struggling with identity, but you don't have to do this alone. I work with children, individuals, families, and couples. I use a combination of therapeutic styles, such as Person-Centered, Narrative, Attachment Theory, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to build a supportive bond with each client, which facilitates self-authenticity and increased satisfaction in relationships. My communication style I will provide a compassionate hand to support and empower you through your life journey. I will guide you in developing deeper connections in relationships, greater confidence in decision-making, and an increased capacity for managing life's challenges.
