A therapy practicewhere QT-BIPOC thrive
Bienvenidos. My name is Janette. I'm a bilingual therapist creating a healing space for QT-BIPOC, that is culturally rooted, trauma-informed, and built on resilience for adults and adolescents in Austin, TX, in person and statewide virtually.
A healing space, culturally rooted, trauma-informed, and built on resilience.
My approach
Healing that honors the whole of you
I built ALMA Therapy on the belief that healing involves cultural, somatic, relational, and personal factors. Every session is shaped to meet you where you are, with care that recognizes the old stories you carry and the future you're moving towards.
-
01
Culturally rooted
Affirming therapy from a first-generation Latina therapist and proud LGBTQIA+ advocate who knows your identity matters and you deserve support that understands it.
-
02
Body & mind
Trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing in order to work with the nervous system and body to release trauma that is stored beyond words.
-
03
Relational & affirming
Your whole self here is welcome. Whether you're queer, trans, racialized, or neurodivergent, you're met with genuine understanding, not just tolerance.
What I offer
Attuned meaningful care, designed for deeper transformation
Individual Therapy
Weekly 50-minute sessions to work through anxiety, depression, relationships, and identity.
Somatic Experiencing
A body-oriented approach that helps release trauma and stress held in the nervous system without reliving painful memories.
Therapy Intensives
Short-term, focused sessions totaling 20 hours over 5–6 weeks are deeper and faster than weekly therapy.
Clinical Supervision & Consultation
Accepting LMSW supervisees. Supervision grounded in social justice, cultural humility, and clinical excellence.
Specialties
Areas I hold space for
I don’t try to be everything to everyone. Over the years, I have learned how to meet these experiences with depth, presence, and care.

Words from those I've had the honor of walking alongside
I had spent years trying to translate myself in therapy rooms. At ALMA, for the first time, I didn't have to. I could just be — and start to heal.
