Amaranta Henriquez

With a passion for fostering healing and self-growth, Amaranta Henriquez, LMHC, founded Luminous Mental Health Counseling as an inclusive community dedicated to transformative therapy. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Amaranta brings a wealth of experience and a unique, integrative approach to her practice, blending cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and EMDR Therapy to create tailored treatment plans for her clients.

Amaranta's expertise lies in guiding individuals through life's most challenging transitions and trauma experiences. She has cultivated a particular specialty in working with adults in their 20's to 40's, a demographic often navigating significant life changes and grappling with the effects of past traumas. Her integrative methodology allows her to address a wide range of mental health concerns with flexibility and precision.

At the heart of Amaranta's practice is her belief in the power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy. As an EMDR-trained therapist, she has witnessed firsthand the transformative impact this modality can have on individuals struggling with debilitating emotional responses. Amaranta's commitment to this approach reflects her dedication to providing cutting-edge, evidence-based treatments that can offer relief and promote lasting change.

Clients working with Amaranta can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental space where they are encouraged to explore their inner landscape and develop new perspectives on their experiences. Her integrative approach ensures that each session is tailored to the individual's unique needs, whether that involves cognitive restructuring, mindfulness practices, or processing trauma through EMDR.

As the founder of Luminous Mental Health Counseling, Amaranta has created more than just a therapy practice; she has built a community centered on growth, healing, and inclusivity. Her vision extends beyond individual sessions, encompassing a broader mission to make transformative mental health care accessible and effective for all who seek it.
