Hello, my name is Nina.

Get to know more about me!

Collaborative and Grounded in Identity

I believe sharing identities with your therapist can be a part of the healing process. As a Black and Latina queer woman, I have both the lived experience and training to support clients who identify as Black, POC, and LGBTQIA+.

My goal as a therapist is to collaboratively work with clients to heal from trauma and mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and mood disorders.

My Approach

Tailored to you

I am an eclectic therapist, which means I pull from all the therapy styles I have been trained in to support your needs.

I am trained in EMDR (a PTSD therapy), CBT (a cognitive therapy for anxiety and depression), mindfulness, and somatic therapy (supports with physical and mental symptoms).

Together, we find what works best for you and your needs.

The Name:

Lucilla Therapy

Lucilla Therapy (pronounced: Loo-See-Ya) comes from my Grandmother, with whom I share the middle name Lucilla.

While I never got to meet her, I am inspired greatly by her love and dedication to her family and community.

In carrying her name, I also carry her legacy. This is for you Blanch Lucilla.

  • Pricing is based on few things, namely if you are wanting to use insurance or private pay.

    I take insurance through my partnership with Rula. where I work with most insurances, including medicaid and medicare managed plans (ex: Kaiser medicaid plans).

    I accept private pay with a rate of $150/hour.

    If you are in need of financial support I do offer limited sliding scale spots.
