Our Team

Care begins with the right connection.

Meet the compassionate professionals behind Lavender Counseling Center. Our team brings together clinical experience, cultural awareness and a shared commitment to personalized care.

Meet Your Therapist

Compassionate care begins with feeling genuinely understood.

I believe therapy should be shaped around your experiences, your needs and the pace that feels right for you.

Fernanda Berganza

I provide therapy in English and Spanish

I believe therapy can offer you a space to pause, better understand what you're experiencing and move forward with greater clarity, confidence and connection.

I approach counseling with empathy, curiosity and respect for each person's unique background. My goal is to create a supportive therapeutic relationship where you can feel heard without judgment.

Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to your concerns, goals and experiences so our work together reflects what matters most to you.

My approach to care

A thoughtful space for reflection, understanding and meaningful change.

Compassionate listening

I will meet your concerns with empathy, attention and respect.

Personalized support

I tailor each session to your goals, experiences and individual needs.

Collaborative care

I see therapy as a shared process, not a prescribed path.
