From undocumented immigrant to licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Graciela Cortes shares her journey of living and working for a better life in the US and how her perspective on the American Dream remains unwavered despite political divides.

Through the lens of her rich cultural background and professional expertise, Graciela explores the nuances of mental health within the Latin community. We delve into how traditional Latin values can both help and hinder emotional well-being, and how therapy can be a safe space for navigating life's challenges, regardless of your cultural background.
