Praia Westerband-Otero

Liberation Psychotherapist and

AASECT Certified Sex Therapist

My Offerings

  • I provide individual psychotherapy on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis depending on your needs at the time. I utilize a client-centered, liberatory, trauma-informed, holistic and sex positive approach to therapy. I can provide therapy in English, Spanish or Spanglish and I believe in bringing all parts of ourselves to therapy. I do not believe in portraying myself as "the expert". I utilize a collaborative approach and gently encourage the clients I serve to access their inherent power and skills, while providing them with guidance and education to enhance those skills.

  • I am an AASECT certified sex therapist. I am passionate about serving the queer community and in particular, the queer community of color which is often under-served. I can support individuals in addressing sexuality and intimacy concerns, regardless of relationship structure. At this time I am not accepting clients for couples/relationship therapy. My practice is LGBTQIA2S+ celebratory, BDSM/kink-affirming, feminist, non-pathologizing, trauma and social justice informed.

  • I offer short-term coaching for individuals seeking support that does not align with the traditional talk therapy framework. My coaching style is direct, collaborative and centers ancestral and spiritual practices that resonate with the client and their goals. Please refer to the coaching page for more information on my coaching offering. If you have any questions regarding my coaching, please send me an email and we can coordinate a call.

Taking the first step towards improved well-being is as easy as booking an appointment today. Feel free to book a free consultation so we can chat and do a preliminary vibe check. I encourage potential therapy and/or coaching clients to bring any important questions they may have regarding my framework, style and philosophy so you can get a clear picture of who I am and the work I do.

Land Acknowledgment

I acknowledge that my practice is based on the traditional, stolen territory of the Munsee Lepane people and I currently reside on the traditional territory and homelands of the Borikén Taíno people.

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the privilege that I hold by living and working on these stolen lands. I encourage you to recognize the harms of colonialism and white supremacy and actively seek out opportunities to give land back and center Indigenous voices. I ask that you please take a moment to honor these ancestral grounds and connect with the land we currently occupy.
