Johanna Bellorin, Licensed Master Social Worker

Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating, stiff, or overly clinical. If you’re feeling stuck in your relationship, caught in the same arguments, or struggling to understand each other despite caring deeply, you’re not alone. Many couples come to therapy feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or unsure how they ended up repeating the same patterns.

I specialize in working with couples navigating relationship transitions and challenges, including LGBTQ+ couples, interracial and bicultural couples, and partners balancing different cultural backgrounds, identities, or life experiences. This may include adjusting to marriage or long-term partnership, navigating communication breakdowns, rebuilding trust, managing conflict, or figuring out how to be a team while still honoring individuality.

My therapy style is direct, down to earth, and very human. I aim to make therapy feel approachable and real—not something you have to “perform” in or feel nervous about getting wrong. I bring warmth, humor, and honesty into the room, and I gently call out patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while remaining supportive and empathetic.

As a bilingual Latina therapist and immigrant from Venezuela, I deeply understand the complexity that culture, identity, and systemic stressors can bring into relationships. I’m especially mindful of how cultural expectations, family dynamics, immigration experiences, and societal pressures can show up between partners. My lived experience informs my work and fuels my commitment to creating affirming, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and BIPOC communities.
