A Latina-owned collective for healing, growth, and community.

Vida Sana Psychology & Wellness is a fully Latina-owned and operated practice, rooted in the belief that healing is not about “fixing” what’s wrong with you—it’s about learning to recognize and strengthen what has always been within you. We understand that every person’s healing process is different. What you need may look nothing like what the person next to you needs—and that’s exactly how it should be.

Our role is not to dictate your journey, but to guide you in discovering it. Healing means learning that while we can’t control every emotion, we can build the tools to keep those emotions from controlling our lives. It’s not always neat or linear—healing can be messy, imperfect, and deeply human. At Vida Sana, we would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

Our story began at Teachers College, Columbia University, where our relationships as classmates, colleagues, and friends grew into a shared vision for what therapy could look like when rooted in equity, cultural responsiveness, and community. Out of those conversations, Vida Sana was born—not just as a practice, but as a collective dedicated to reimagining healing spaces for communities of color.

Our approach combines culturally responsive, evidence-based care with a commitment to social justice. We are especially dedicated to creating a therapeutic space where women of color, men of color, and all people from marginalized communities feel seen, supported, and valued. Each of our clinicians understands the realities of navigating race, gender, culture, and identity, while also celebrating the strength and beauty that come from community.

Vida Sana is also a training ground for the next generation of clinicians. We are committed to mentoring limited permit clinicians (LPs) and early-career therapists in delivering equitable, affirming treatment—ensuring that our work not only serves clients today, but also shapes a more inclusive and sustainable future for mental health care.
