Therapy for Latina Women & Mothers.

Who We Are

At Nueve Lunas Therapy & Wellness, we provide culturally affirming therapy for Latinas and mothers, with a specialized focus on perinatal mental health. We understand the unique emotional, cultural, and generational experiences that shape motherhood, especially for first-generation women navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and identity shifts.

Meet the Founder

Elsa Matsumoto, LCSW, PMH-C created Nueve Lunas for first-generation Latines navigating identity, healing, and transformation. As a bilingual, first-generation Latina therapist, she saw a need for a space that honors our culture and offers therapy that feels both healing and liberating.

Nueve Lunas was born to support that sacred in-between space where growth, grief, and joy can coexist.

    Anxiety

    Excessive worry can take a toll on the mind, body, and spirit. We can address anxiety by identifying the issues and learning skills to help manage the worry and fear.

    Depression

    Left untreated, depression can worsen and impact daily life. Therapy helps build coping skills, improves well-being, and supports healing. You don’t have to go through it alone—help is available.

    Postpartum Depression

    Postpartum depression (PPD) affects a mother’s emotional well-being, relationships, and ability to care for herself and her baby. Seeking support through therapy, community, and professional care can help mothers heal, regain balance, and feel supported in their journey.

  • Culturally-Affirming Care

    Description goes hereCulturally affirming care recognizes and honors a person’s cultural background, values, and lived experiences in the healing process. It goes beyond cultural competence by actively validating and integrating a client’s identity into therapy.

    First-Gen Latina Women

    First-generation Latina women often face unique challenges that can affect their well-being. These can include: Cultural expectations, generational trauma, and identity and belonging.

    Addressing mental health needs with culturally affirming care helps create a space where they feel understood, validated, and empowered to heal.


Our culturally affirming, trauma-informed approach helps first-generation Latina women navigate their emotions with care and support. Through somatic healing, and evidence-based therapy, we create a space where you can heal and rediscover hope.
