Getting to know Margarita Arteaga Alcantara

Jackie is a skilled bilingual counselor specializing in women's issues, immigration, severe anxiety, sleep disruptions, and LGBTQIA+ issues. Does the heaviness of the world feel difficult to carry these days? Is it difficult to find time to care for yourself? As an immigrant woman and a former undocumented individual, I am especially attuned to the struggles faced by individuals who have experienced marginalization, displacement, or a sense of not fully belonging. My role is to support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom and to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, behaviors, and experiences at your own pace. I take a trauma-informed-holistic approach to therapy, recognizing that healing involves understanding and integrating all aspects of your unique experience. I draw from a variety of approaches, including Feminist Multicultural theory (FMT), EMDR, Mindfulness, Somatic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). It can be easy to get lost in others' expectations, but with a little support, we can remember how to listen to our intuition and start making decisions that align with our truth, not the world’s demands. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, untangle the challenges that hold you back, and build a path forward.
