Valeria Moreno

Valeria Moreno

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe each person deserves a space to be seen and valued for their authentic self. As a bilingual (Spanish), bicultural, first-generation Latina born and raised in Boyle Heights, my worldview is deeply shaped by the resilience of marginalized communities, the weight of generational survival, and the intricate dance of navigating multiple cultures. As the daughter of Salvadorian immigrants who fled conflict in the 80s in search of a better life, I understand firsthand the invisible loads, systemic complexities, and profound courage it takes to build a path forward.

Arcelito Glorioso

Arcelito Glorioso

Therapist

Virtual • California


I was a victim of trauma, which caused me to seek healing through therapy and by the grace of God. I became a therapist as I have experience walking out of the pain and suffering and embracing healing as a victor over the bondage of complex trauma. Additionally, I am an immigrant and first generation, Asian American Filipino, who has first hand experience with migration, navigating complex structural corporate systems as I was previously working in law, and in vet medicine. Now my goal in life is to run back into the darkness to help walk and guide you into the light.

Jennafer Maguire

Jennafer Maguire

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m an LMFT from Guam, currently residing in Los Angeles, and I specialize in all things relationship(s)! Whether you’re navigating a romantic relationship, family dynamics, friendships, or your relationship with yourself, I’m interested in understanding what’s happening beneath the surface. My work is grounded in understanding how our past experiences shape the way we see ourselves, the world, and—most importantly—how we connect with others. Together, we can explore the patterns you’ve developed, where they came from, and whether they’re still serving you today.

People matter. You matter.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am excited to be a part of your journey towards emotional health and flourishing, as well as deepening your relationships. I believe hope can be found for you, and by supporting your growth, we can discover the possibilities for finding healing and building empowerment!

My goal is to provide you a safe space to be genuinely yourself. Rather than getting lost in clinical language I believe that we will best connect by being human, and that through our work together you will grow your voice to shape your relationships and communicate effectively.

Together, we will identify your goals and even uncover the deeper needs that we can collaboratively work towards. As we work towards your ability to communicate about and effectively address your feelings, transform your relationships and behaviors, and build your sense of self, we can freely adapt our goals to fit your needs and growth!
