Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy and Coaching
I’m Agnis Peña-Toro, M.A., LMHC, a licensed trauma-informed psychotherapist and coach. I help adults, couples, and groups address anxiety, depression, fear, PTSD, relational trauma, and challenges in their relationships with themselves and others. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), somatic approaches, expressive arts, spirituality, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy when appropriate.
Who I Help
I work with adults, couples, and groups who are seeking support with emotional healing, relationships, and personal growth. My work may be helpful for people experiencing anxiety, depression, fear, PTSD, relational or attachment trauma, difficulties with boundaries and communication, or patterns that keep them feeling stuck in their personal or professional lives.
How I Help With Anxiety, Depression, Trauma & Relationships
If any of this feels familiar, stay tuned and hear me out until the end. I promise, you’ll be glad!
Journey to Becoming Your Best Self
My work brings together trauma-informed, evidence-informed psychotherapy approaches with attention to the nervous system, relationships, body, emotions, creativity, and spirituality. Depending on your needs and goals, I may integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), somatic psychotherapy, expressive arts, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
Transforming your relationship with yourself can create lasting changes in the way you experience anxiety, fear, depression, relationships, and the challenges that may keep you feeling stuck. Through our work together, you can develop greater self-awareness, self-compassion, emotional resilience, and confidence while creating healthier relationships and moving toward the personal and professional life you want.
You already have inner strengths, creativity, wisdom, and the capacity for healing and growth. Sometimes these qualities become difficult to access because of past experiences, trauma, fear, or patterns that developed to help you cope. My role is to help you reconnect with these resources and create greater freedom and possibility in your life.
I draw from approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, psychedelic harm reduction and integration, expressive arts, somatic approaches, and mind-body-spirit practices. These approaches can provide different pathways for exploring your inner experience, processing difficult emotions and experiences, developing greater self-awareness, and supporting meaningful personal growth.
Healing and transformation are not simply about willpower or trying harder. You are not defined by the patterns, experiences, or beliefs that may have shaped your life. With greater awareness, compassion, and support, meaningful change is possible — and you can move toward greater joy, connection, purpose, and fulfillment.
I welcome and support people of all identities and backgrounds. I am an LGBTQ+ and diversity ally and strive to create an inclusive, respectful, and affirming space for people of all nationalities, races, socioeconomic backgrounds, body sizes, genders, sexual orientations, and life experiences.
I am here to support you, guide you and share all of my knowledge, expertise and skills.
Let's start your healing journey towards an authentic, fulfilling and joyful life!
The Path to Healing: Trauma, Nervous System Regulation & Personal Growth
It’s not your fault you haven’t had access to the missing piece in your long self-help journey.
So, what has been missing all of these years?
Identifying and healing the parts of you (wounds and past hurts), with different voices sending you messages that don’t support the life you want to live. These voices may be of inner criticism, perfectionism, avoidance of vulnerability to access your emotions and inner goodness, fear of the unknown and being alone, pessimism, etc.
I help you understand, heal, and regulate your stressed nervous system (your biology/body) after years of being under the control of the voices mentioned above. So many are in survival mode from family, culture and society – that prioritize productivity and pleasing others over meeting your vital needs for well-being, self-care, balance and emotional connection.
The healing of the wounded parts and voices in you and a regulated nervous system will help you shift from sabotaging you (out of fear of taking the next step) to supporting you in taking purposeful action, with self-compassion, to live an authentic and joyful life.
It is my deepest desire to also help you unlock and build on your inner gifts, strengths, experiences and skills that you’ve accumulated through your entire life and connect them to your healing and growth journey.
