It’s hard to even find words right now. But this is what I can offer, a space for rest, healing, and safety.

As a Mexican psychologist and daughter of an immigrant, this work is deeply personal. I’m currently offering pro bono and low cost therapy to immigrant communities impacted by ICE raids, detentions, and the daily reality of living with threat and uncertainty.

If you know someone who is directly impacted, family, neighbors, community members, please pass this along.

Yesterday’s discussion revealed some of the real and unfolding power of psychological assessment—it’s not just what we learn initially, but how those insights evolve and transform throughout the therapeutic journey.

The narratives we tell ourselves about ourselves are so powerful and shape how we interpret ourselves, relationships, and events in our lives. Having specific and accurate feedback that clarifies how we interpret and understand ourselves can be invaluable in learning how to effectively get our needs met.

Testing creates a roadmap where some destinations are immediately visible while others only appear as the journey unfolds. What struck us most was the deeply human element behind the report: how a single paragraph in an assessment can strengthen a therapeutic breakthrough moment months later, right when the patient is ready to receive it.

This is the art behind our science—knowing when to introduce these insights and recognizing when a patient has naturally arrived at their own understanding, ready for the validation that testing provides.

It is such a privilege for our team to get to help people through psychological assessment. For many the testing brings much more than diagnostic clarity, it helps bring language and structure to places of confusion, shame, and frustration. The insights and recommendations can help inform, enliven, and guide the work being done in ongoing therapy.

Women of Color Connection Group is a process and support group for cis and trans women of color to explore, share, and learn how their multiple identities impact their personal and interpersonal experiences. This can include cultural identity, family dynamics, gender roles, life stress, romantic relationships, friendships, social justice concerns, and mental health and well-being. It will be held on Thursdays in Carlsbad Village.

We are all narrative creators and holders. The intersectionality of identity markers and various sociocultural systems and environments impact the intricate nuances and complexities that add layers to our stories. Exploring identity and culture is a process that includes reflecting on the past and present, recognizing heterogeneity, and valuing diversity.

Much of what we think about is personal and private, and never known by others. Some people have such rich imaginations of comments they wish they would have said or what their life would be like if they had made different choices in life.

To be seen by other personal is powerful. It can feel so exposing to say the thoughts and feelings out loud that you keep private. Psychoanalysts have a lot of words for how to describe the private inner lives of people, but one I (Reid Kessler) like quite a bit is this Bollas's concept of the "unthought known". It refers to the information that a person knows about themselves but has not been able to formally think about. Like the phrase implies, it is information you have known but not formally thought about.

Part of the power of being seen is that it helps someone think about their own internal life, to put symbolic meaning to emotional and relational phenomena. This often results in putting words to experience and being less motivated by what is happening unconsciously.

Ultimately, it isn't words or choice that create the biggest impact on someones life, while those are tremendous and cannot be understated. The difference is learning to be with yourself and others. Learning to be with yourself and others is a skill that is only learned by someone being with you in a way that allows you to feel seen and care for.
