Hi, I’m Jhoana, founder of Calma Counseling Services and a proud First-Generation Latina born and raised in Los Angeles. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate family expectations, cultural identity, personal goals, and the many pressures of everyday life. I’m passionate about creating a warm, welcoming space where adults and people of color can feel seen, understood, and supported as they navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, and family challenges. Together, we can explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped you while building healthier coping skills, stronger boundaries, and a deeper understanding of yourself. My hope is that therapy feels like a space where you can be your authentic self, feel empowered in your choices, and move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.
