Suyapa Ulloa

I’m a Latina Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist with over 14 years of experience, and I’m also a Sib — a sibling of a disabled family member. I understand the layered experience many Sibs carry: love and loyalty alongside guilt, grief, anger, responsibility, and invisibility. Many Sibs grow up too fast, become helpers by default, and struggle with boundaries, burnout, and unmet emotional needs. In therapy, I offer a validating, culturally responsive, trauma-informed space where Sibs can process complex feelings without judgment. I use approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting to support deep healing, identity development, and nervous system regulation so Sibs can move from survival and self-sacrifice toward balance, voice, and self-compassion.
