About Oscar
Hi, I’m Oscar
I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC.0023144) dedicated to helping individuals build resilience, find balance, and improve their emotional well-being. I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Colorado Denver, and I provide therapy in both English and Spanish.
I was born in Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, and moved to Denver, Colorado at the age of five — a journey that has deeply shaped who I am today. Growing up as an immigrant taught me the importance of community, perseverance, and access to mental health resources. As a Mexican male therapist, I recognize the stigma that often surrounds “mental health” in our community, and I am passionate about helping dismantle those barriers so more people can receive the care they deserve.
In addition to my clinical work, I hold an Initial Special Services Provider License as a School Counselor and have spent over five years supporting students and families in educational settings. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with youth and adults alike, helping them navigate stress, identity, and life transitions.
I specialize in working with teenagers and adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients gain insight, develop coping skills, and achieve meaningful growth.
I strive to create a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward healing and self-understanding.
