About My Clients
Do you find yourself caught in a web of worry and sadness despite your best efforts? You find yourself anxious or depressed where simple tasks feel overwhelming and drain the little energy you have causing you to feel not good enough. I understand how anxiety and depression can become daunting companions. But you’re ready to make a change. Most of all, you’re ready to improve your emotional well-being and improve your quality of life. I want to help you get there.
My Background and Approach
I am Liliana Tena, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the state of Colorado. I have a wealth of experience spanning various settings and roles in community mental health, outpatient offices, schools, and in-home therapy services. I believe that you are the expert of your life story. Where I am the guide helping you navigate through difficulties. I center my therapy approach around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused techniques. With training in various other modalities, I tailor the sessions to your specific needs and goals. Together, we'll decide on the methods that resonate most with you. I value social and racial justice and take into account culture, environment, family background, and intergenerational patterns/trauma when working with you. Together, let's pave the way to a more fulfilling life so you can go from surviving to thriving.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Being first-generation Mexican-American, I have always been proud of my heritage and passionate about making a difference in the mental health landscape. Growing up in a culturally rich environment, I witnessed firsthand the barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health within my community. As a bilingual therapist, I understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges that can impact one's mental well-being, and I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care to individuals from all walks of life. My mission is simple yet profound: to make therapy accessible to everyone. I believe that mental health care is a fundamental human right, not a luxury reserved for a privileged few. Through my work, I aim to dismantle the systemic barriers that prevent many individuals, especially those from underserved communities, from accessing the support they deserve.
