Leticia Arellano
Psychologist - Psy.D.
You are a professional who is excelling on the outside but feeling like you are wearing a mask. You are the first in your family to excel in school and work and feel the burden of being one of the few like you. You spend your weekends venting to friends but never seem to get enough off your chest and blowing off steam only seems to work for a moment. Your efforts to advocate for yourself at work may get you labeled as “angry” or “difficult”, which only seems to add to your suffering. You feel like two people live inside you, one that lashes at those you care about and one that feels terrible about it afterwards. You are a passionate person with a big mind and big heart who finds injustice is impeding your ability to express and truly empower yourself.As a first-generation college graduate, I have experienced the exhilaration and the burdensomeness of excelling beyond what was initially expected of me. I am passionate about helping professionals from marginalized communities who are sick of being labelled as the “angry one.”Harness your anger. Listen to the stories that serve you. Empower yourself. Call or email for a brief consultation and to see if I’m the person that can help you breathe again.
