CULTURAL BACKGROUND

Professional Licensed Counselor
Hi! My name is Geraldine Peña. I am a Spanish Speaking, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) & Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in the state of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I have been working with children, teens and their families to help them grow in their attachment and emotional regulation. I have experience and knowledge using the Eco-Systemic Family therapy model and Internal Family System techniques to guide individuals in developing stronger, positive interactional patterns with those around them while exploring different parts of themselves.
I am passionate about helping guide teens and adults of minority backgrounds to live a more healed, truthful and peaceful life. Providing you a safe space, in your native language and with someone of similar cultural background, will allow you to feel heard and process any adversities, pain, and trauma you may have experienced. As your therapist, I will support you in living your truth and advocate for positive change in your life.
My speciality is working with Latinx people who struggle within their attachment style and how this affects their current interrelationships with others; specifically Adult Latina Daughters struggling with their relationship with their mom. My work lies within helping those with: childhood trauma, sexual violence, post-traumatic-stress disorder, issues with early attachment, insecure interpersonal relationships, depression and anxiety.
I believe therapy takes bravery, strength and a whole lot of vulnerability. Please reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to get to know each other and determine if this is a good fit to begin changing your life
