Jon Huerta Therapy
Welcome! I am a straight, cis-gendered, neurodivergent, white-privileged Latino therapist specializing in helping adults and youth reclaim belonging and befriending with nature, the greater good, with one another, and oneself. Sometimes it takes navigating the complexities of uncertainty, insecurity, deep-seated pain, and questions of identity to grow into a generative life but that’s not the ultimate focus. My focus is mostly to help you remind yourself you are someone who also can flourish, be confident, and live life to the fullest outside of oppressive life styles and systems. My therapeutic approach centers on cultivating a safe and affirming space where individuals can find healing and self-discovery, leading to a more liberated and authentic life.
My practice is deeply rooted in liberation psychologies, recognizing the impact of systemic oppression like the mental health industrial complex, societal injustices, and genocide on mental health and well-being for individuals and the collective. I honor and respect all genders, relationship orientations, ages, (dis-)abilities, experiences, dietary justice, and stories, fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. As a white-privileged, heterosexual male therapist, it is important to me I am committed to dismantling white supremacy and decolonizing my practice and life. I understand this is a lifelong journey requiring accountability and continuous effort towards an equitable and inclusive therapeutic environment.
I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the queer community, racial and ethnic “ambiguous” identities, youth, and trauma survivors. I am understanding the unique challenges faced by these populations and prioritize establishing a strong sense of safety and trust before delving into deeper emotional processing.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and client-centered, empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing process. I utilize a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. It will be my honor and privilege to work with you if you feel what I can offer is aligned with your healing journey.
