Lalo (he/they) is a queer, polyamorous, Latine, neurodivergent therapist and spiritual healer who is deeply involved in the kink and ENM communities. With a background as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and extensive experience in spiritual healing and coaching, Lalo provides kink-aware, trauma-informed therapy tailored to the unique needs of kinksters, non-monogamous individuals, and those in alternative relationships.
Lalo integrates eclectic modalities from somatic, decolonial, anti-oppressive, and spiritual frameworks, as well as more traditional approaches like DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. Lalo’s approach is grounded in understanding the complexities of kink, power dynamics, and the intersectionality of identity, including gender, race, neurodivergence, and sexuality.
As a kink-aware therapist, Lalo provides a confidential space for clients to explore their desires, boundaries, and relationships, whether navigating personal challenges or seeking support in building healthier communication and relationships. Through the use of tarot, astrology, creative expression, and spiritual practices, Lalo’s work is designed to help you connect with your authentic self, heal from trauma, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
Lalo is committed to creating a non-judgmental and affirming space where individuals and couples can explore kink, polyamory, and other alternative relationship styles without fear of stigma. Lalo also supports clients in unpacking societal pressures, such as white supremacy and cisheteronormativity, and in learning how to prioritize their needs and boundaries within a compassionate, healing framework.
