Therapy in Stamford, CT

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships and wondering why? Are you craving a deeper understanding of yourself and how you move through the world?

Welcome to New Light Psychotherapy! Choosing to pursue personal growth is one of the most meaningful and transformative decisions we can make. It’s a journey that calls for self-compassion, curiosity, and the right kind of support.

In our work together, we’ll create a space where you can feel seen, heard, and safely guided an environment that allows for real healing and reflection. We’ll gently explore the areas of your life that feel stuck, wounded, or shaped by limiting beliefs, and begin the work of nurturing self-acceptance and lasting change. When we become open to our own experience without judgment we unlock the potential for deep emotional freedom. This process may not always be easy, but the growth that follows can be truly life changing.

Are you ready to find some relief?

You wish someone could help you figure this all out…..

✓ You're finding it hard to express yourself in your relationships
✓ Old wounds and past experiences keep showing up in the present
✓ You often feel anxious, unsure, and emotionally overwhelmed
✓ You're trying to figure out who you really are beneath it all

Saying you feel lost doesn't quite capture it—it's more like you're searching for solid ground and a sense of self that finally feels true.

Hi, I’m Luz! Welcome to New Light Psychotherapy.

As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, my journey is deeply interwoven with my practice. Raised in a vibrant yet underserved Latino community of Mexican and Cuban heritage, I've navigated the complexities of identity, trauma, and healing firsthand.

I’m so glad you’re here. Choosing to begin therapy is a brave and deeply meaningful step. For many of us, the journey toward personal growth can feel overwhelming—but it can also be one of the most powerful experiences of our lives.

At New Light Psychotherapy, I offer a supportive, compassionate space where you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Together, we’ll gently explore the parts of your story that are asking for healing, and begin building a more peaceful, connected relationship with yourself.

"In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction."

— Audre Lorde

How it works

  1. Book a free consultation call


    This initial phone call is for you to discuss what brings you to therapy, share the challenges you're experiencing, ask any questions you may have, discuss policies/costs, and discover if we're a good fit for working together.

2. Schedule your first session


If we both feel comfortable moving forward, we'll schedule a session. Before we meet, you'll complete some forms on confidentiality, HIPAA, consent for treatment, and basic information/history

3. Establish a therapeutic relationship


In the first session, we'll get to know one another and set your goals for therapy. In our initial appointment, it’s important to notice if therapy feels like a space where you can see yourself trusting and opening up to me over time.

FAQs

  • Psychoanalysis is a form of talk therapy that focuses on understanding the unconscious mind and the deep-rooted, often hidden, influences behind our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Developed by Sigmund Freud, this approach aims to uncover unresolved conflicts, early childhood experiences, and suppressed emotions that may be affecting your current relationships and mental health.

    Psychoanalysis is typically more intensive than other forms of therapy, often involving multiple sessions per week, and focuses on long-term self-exploration and deep emotional healing. It can be helpful for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, break longstanding patterns, and improve overall emotional well-being.

  • No, we do not accept insurance. We believe in providing therapy that is guided by clinical need, not insurance restrictions. This allows us to offer personalized, client-centered care without the limitations often imposed by insurance companies, such as requiring a formal diagnosis, restricting session lengths to 50 minutes, or limiting the number of sessions a client can receive.

    By operating outside of the insurance system, we can truly meet each client where they are, creating a more flexible and supportive therapeutic experience.

  • Luz rates are $250 per session. She does not take insurance but can offer a superbill for out of network benefits.

  • Getting started is simple. You can schedule a free phone consultation to learn more about each other and see if we’re a good fit. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions you have about the process and share a bit about what you’re hoping to work on in therapy.
