Beatriz Giraldo, MA in Counseling

I am a Mental Health Counselor, group facilitator, proud mother of two children and grandmother of three girls. I provide counseling in Spanish and English. My medicine bag contains  elements from many cultures and spiritual traditions, as well as from Western and Eastern psychotherapies.  

I was born and raised in Colombia, South America. For more than four decades, I have dedicated my professional life to health work, adopting a holistic approach.

Holistic therapy encompasses a variety of methods that emphasize an integrated approach to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. To achieve this integration, I employ diverse therapeutic techniques derived from Western and Eastern psychotherapies, as well as elements drawn from multiple cultures and spiritual traditions.

My unique method evolved through my professional experiences as a mental health occupational therapist and psychotherapist in my home country, and as a mental health counselor in North America. My extensive training includes psychoanalysis, holistic therapy, thanatology (end-of life and grief support), Chinese traditional medicine, group and family therapy, and movement and music therapy.

I am the creator of the “Dancing Toward Your Center” workshops, which focus on stress management, relaxation, and personal growth.

“My movement workshops involve expressing your heart, finding your center, and trusting your body. The ultimate goal is connecting mind, body, and spirit.“
