Alfonso Navarrete Mojica

As a psychodynamic and trauma-focused therapist with 5+ years of experience, I help young and emerging adults navigate through trauma resolutions, depression, codependency, life transitions, minority stress, and relationship or family issues.

My specialties are in attachment and trauma, taking a humanistic and holistic approach that focuses on your inner strength and growth through different aspects of life. I look forward to empowering you in our work together.

*I am fluent in Spanish with a Mexican background, and am available and comfortable to conduct sessions in Spanish.

My Approach to Care I believe in collaboration, empathy, and healing through evidence-based techniques, ensuring a supportive and safe environment in our time together. My style is warm, supportive, and collaborative, and tailored to your unique lived experience. Care includes psychodynamic and EMDR therapy to help you process past beliefs to strengthen current and future beliefs. At all times, I remain your encouraging partner throughout your healing journey.

My path to becoming a therapist began during my year as a teaching assistant in a Chicago public school, where I provided educational and Social Emotional Learning to 6th graders. This experience taught me the value of providing authentic, representative, empathetic, and strength-building care in adolescents and young adults, while deepening my commitment to bringing a cultural and community-based approach to each session.

I enjoy all kinds of activities to keep my mind and body rejuvenated – staying active, reading, thrifting, browsing through different museums, and trying new and perfecting old recipes in the kitchen.
