FROM OUR FOUNDER

Vanessa Solis, LCSW

Founder & CEO

Empowered Mind Therapy Center

 I founded this practice with a clear vision: to establish a new standard of mental healthcare that honors the lived experience of BIPOC women and QTBIPOC folks—breaking down systemic barriers so our families can build generational cycles of health and resilience.

When BIPOC women & QTBIPOC are at the top of their game, everybody benefits. Our impact is exponential, so our mental health is top priority.

We look forward to see you grow and make an impact you were meant for.

In Community,

Vanessa
