Bilingual Mental Health Counselor & Certified Hypnotherapist
🧠 Individual & Couples Therapy | 🎓 Special focus on college & graduate students
📍Telehealth | Fluent in English & Spanish

College and university life can bring intense pressure—academics, relationships, identity exploration, and figuring out your next steps. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply trying to understand yourself better, I’m here to help.

I’m Fabián, a bilingual therapist with experience working with college students in university counseling centers and private practice. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what you’re going through with honesty and compassion—whether that’s managing stress, navigating relationships, exploring your identity, or healing from past trauma.

My approach blends humanistic and existential principles (we'll look at the "why" behind your struggles) with practical tools from:

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Narrative Therapy

Solution-Focused Therapy

For students interested in something beyond talk therapy, I also offer hypnotherapy—a safe, research-supported method that helps with anxiety, confidence, self-regulation, chronic pain, and trauma processing. I’m certified through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists.

I work with both individuals and couples via telehealth, and I'm committed to providing therapy that feels culturally affirming, collaborative, and flexible to your needs.

🎓 Degrees:

MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling – Duquesne University

Currently pursuing doctoral studies in Counseling – University of Puerto Rico

Let’s work together to help you move from surviving to thriving. Feel free to check out my profile and schedule a time to connect—I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
