La Cocina seeks to dismantle systems of oppression and co-create paths to liberation by providing full access to traditional and non-traditional forms of mental health and health equity support services.

There are times in life when we all need extra care and support. La Cocina, or The Kitchen in English, is named after the warmest, most inviting, and most nourishing place in our home. Our programs offer a safe space for adults, children and families to come together for key Spanish-language therapy services, including recovery from trauma, forensic assessments for immigrants in detention, individual and/or family therapy, parents coaching, structured therapy groups for parents and adolescents, directive and non-directive play therapy to promote safe and healthy childhood development, and Charlas that sustain community wellbeing.
