Counseling For Liberation

Counseling For the Outcasts, Misfits & Renegades

Have you been told there’s something wrong with you because you don’t fit neatly into society’s boxes? Have traditional therapists pathologized your identity, relationships, or way of moving through the world?

You are not the problem. The systems that fail to embrace your complexity are.

Psychology without liberation is merely another form of oppression. Our healing must be revolutionary or it is not healing at all.

My Name Is Dr. V

Psychologist, revolutionary, and fellow traveler on the path of liberation. My practice was born from my own journey as an outsider fighting systems never designed for my survival or that of my child.

This Is A Space for The Uncontained

If you’ve been:

Told that your experience as a racialized person isn’t related to your mental health and wellness
Told your queerness, gender expression, or relationship structure is "just a phase"
Labeled "too much," "too sensitive," or "too radical"
Dismissed when speaking truth to power
Called "woo woo" for embracing spiritual or alternative healing practices
Made to feel like you must shrink yourself to belong

My Approach

Centers those systematically pushed to the margins:

People of the global majority navigating racial trauma
LGBTQIA+ and gender-expansive individuals
Practitioners of relationship anarchy and non-traditional
Spiritual seekers dismissed by materialist paradigms
Activists exhausted from fighting oppressive systems

"The only thing that rises above Dr. Vallejos's commitment to diversity and inclusion is her compassion for each and every professional and organization that she works with. Her dedication to justice is inspiring."

Dr. Vallejos is one of the most powerful voices in psychology and social justice. I have been privileged to learn so much from her professional presentations over the past 7 years. I invite you all to do the same

From Personal Healing to Collective Liberation

What Makes This Different?

This isn’t therapy that asks you to adapt to broken systems. This is revolutionary healing that:

Honors your lived experience as profound knowledge
Recognizes how systems of oppression directly impact your mental health
Embraces alternative modalities alongside evidence-based approaches
Validates your anger as appropriate response to injustice
Supports you in building connections that liberate rather than constrain

You Belong Here, Exactly As You Are

From Personal Healing to Collective Liberation. Through our work together, you’ll:

Reclaim parts of yourself sacrificed for survival
Develop tools to navigate hostile environments while protecting your spirit
Connect with your inherent wisdom and power
Build community with others who share your vision
Transform personal healing into collective action

"Dr. Vallejos is a gift. When I launched Haven Media, a digital platform dedicated to the mental health of women of color through storytelling, Dr. Vallejos was one of the first women I approached to contribute. You can read her piece on self-care on https://www.havenmedia.org/blog. When I asked Dr. Vallejos to speak at the first fundraiser for Haven, she knocked it out of the park. When I asked Dr. Vallejos to speak at Haven's first public event, yet again she showed up and left the room in tears and laughter."
