Vicky Tovar

I specialize in supporting first-generation women, moms-to-be, mothers across the lifespan, young adults, and college students experiencing anxiety, stress, and burnout. Many of the women I work with are high-achieving and deeply caring — but they’ve learned to prioritize everyone else’s needs over their own. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and empowering. I believe you already carry strength and resilience — therapy is about helping you access it more consistently and intentionally. Our work together will feel collaborative and supportive. You won’t be judged. You won’t be rushed. You will be heard. As a fluent Spanish-speaking therapist and proud first-generation college graduate, I deeply understand the cultural values, family responsibility, and achievement pressure many women carry. You won’t have to explain the invisible weight of being “the strong one.” I see it — and I honor it. Therapy with me is a space where you can slow down, breathe, and learn that you don’t have to do everything perfectly to be worthy. You deserve support. You deserve rest. You deserve a space that is just for you. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to help you: Identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns Reduce anxiety and racing thoughts Strengthen emotional regulation skills Build confidence and self-trust Set healthy boundaries without guilt Create small, realistic changes that lead to lasting growth If you’re ready to feel more grounded, empowered, and supported in this season of your life, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
