LUZ M BUENO, LMHC
Counseling & Psycotherapy Services
A culturally sensitive approach to emotional wellbeing and personal growth
for the Latine community in the New York Metropolitan area.
Luz believes that human behavior and the mind are deeply complex, and therefore require a nuanced and multifaceted approach to foster self-awareness and sustainable change. She recognizes that the therapeutic process is one that unfolds over time, with meaningful shifts in perception emerging gradually.
For Luz, therapy is a careful balance of theoretical knowledge, patient needs, and personal values such as genuine care, non-judgmental acceptance, trust, and collaboration. It’s about fine-tuning the approach to create an environment where healing and growth can take root.
Luz is well experienced psychotherapist with over 25 years experience treading clients from different age, ethnicities, and economical backgrounds. Luz has dedicated her life to understanding the intricacies of human behavior and the work necessary to promote lasting change. Her clinical expertise encompasses a broad range of challenges, including depression, trauma, compulsions, anxiety, life dissatisfaction, and insecurities and fears
In my sessions, I use techniques from gestalt and psychodynamic modalities to help you explore and understand the emotions that affect your daily life. I focus on listening with empathy and guiding you to look inside yourself with kindness. Together, we uncover the root causes of your emotional struggles. My goal is to help you build self-awareness and self-acceptance so you can heal and grow.

Individual Therapy
If you're feeling overwhelmed by negative thoughts, emotional pain, or a sense of disconnection from others, individual therapy can offer a safe and supportive space to begin healing. Through therapy, you can learn to understand your emotional responses, gain clarity over your thoughts, and begin to feel more in control of your inner world. Over time, you’ll build confidence, develop self-trust, and feel more grounded in the choices you make and the life you want to lead.
Spirituality and Holistic counseling
At times, life can feel overwhelming—filled with questions, emotions, and uncertainty. You might find yourself at a crossroads, unsure of what to do next, sensing deep down that there must be another way to find peace and clarity.
Spiritual and holistic counseling offers a path forward. It approaches healing by addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Importantly, spirituality in this context is not tied to any religion. Instead, it’s about exploring a deeper connection to the universe and recognizing that we are all linked to the same universal source. This perspective can offer comfort, insight, and a renewed sense of purpose
