Latinx Therapist Project

We are officially halfway through our Professional Development Cohort! ✨

This month, our cohort gathered at Clinica Family Health & Wellness – Westminster Office for a meaningful session facilitated by Dr. Xochilt Alamillo. Together, clinicians engaged in reflective conversations on professional journeys, Latina identity, healing, and culturally responsive care.

The group also explored Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and how its tools — mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness — can be adapted to support culturally grounded clinical practice and strengthen emotional resilience.

A huge thank you to Clinica for hosting us and to our grant partner, Adams County, whose support helps make this program possible and strengthens our local mental health workforce. 💛

What were people’s final thoughts after the Mental Health Careers Conference? 💭✨ From feeling inspired and empowered to finding new connections and career pathways, these reflections remind us why spaces like MHCC matter so much.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, shared their experiences, and helped make this event so meaningful. A huge thank you as well to our amazing partners and supporters who helped bring this conference to life. Because of this community, we were able to welcome more than 110 attendees for a day of learning, connection, and exploration in the mental health field. 💙

Swipe through to read some of the powerful reflections and takeaways from attendees ➡️ We hope to bring MHCC back next year, and your feedback helps make that possible!
