Nora Barquin, LCSW

Clinical Associate

As a therapist, I offer a compassionate, culturally sensitive approach that integrates mindfulness-based stress reduction and strength-based therapy to help clients navigate emotional challenges related to a cancer diagnosis with presence and resilience.

As a Spanish-speaking therapist, I connect deeply with clients from diverse backgrounds, creating a safe space where language and cultural values are honored. My personal understanding of the immigrant experience allows me to provide empathetic support, recognizing both the unique struggles and the strengths that come with adapting to a new culture.

By blending mindfulness practices, strength-based strategies, and a deep respect for each client’s story, I strive to foster healing, self- awareness, and empowerment.
