The Vallarta Gay+ Community Center is immensely proud to announce a significant milestone in its ongoing mission to provide inclusive and comprehensive support to the vibrant LGBTQ+ community. Beginning last month, we have officially launched professional psychotherapy and mental health services designed to cater to the diverse needs of our community. We are thrilled to have these services led by:
Alberto Díaz de León Jiménez Bravo, M.A.
A highly qualified and compassionate bilingual psychotherapist who is dedicated to the mental well-being of our community members.
This vital new service is generously sponsored by Tamale’s Tours, whose unwavering support allows us to continue our work in building a stronger, healthier LGBTQ+ community in Puerto Vallarta. We are grateful for their partnership and commitment to this important initiative.
Meet Our Psychologist: Alberto Díaz de León Jiménez Bravo
Alberto holds a Master’s degree in Relational Systemic Family Therapy from the esteemed Universidad del Valle de Atemajac (UNIVA). He brings extensive experience, having worked in both private practice and hospital settings, making him exceptionally qualified to support a wide range of psychological needs. His areas of expertise include:
- Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy (onsite and online)
- Thanatology and Grief Support
- Psychological Care for Hospitalized Patients
Alberto is well-known for his ethical, empathetic, and culturally competent approach to therapy. Whether you’re dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, Alberto provides a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental environment where you can find the support and understanding you need. His commitment to fostering healing and growth is evident in every session.
In addition to offering personalized one-on-one therapy sessions, Alberto also facilitates group workshops that are specifically designed to empower participants and foster meaningful connections. These workshops aim to build resilience among community members and provide essential tools to help individuals navigate life’s inevitable challenges more effectively.
Why Mental Health Matters
Mental health is a crucial part of overall well-being, particularly for members of the LGBTQ+ community, who often face unique challenges related to identity, stigma, discrimination, and social isolation. By offering access to bilingual, LGBTQ+ affirming psychological care, we will address these challenges as part of our ongoing commitment to holistic community wellness. It is vital that everyone feels secure and supported in seeking help.
Pedro Lopez, the Executive Director of Vallarta Gay+ Community Center, expressed his excitement about this transformative new service:
“We are thrilled to reach this milestone! Providing professional mental health support has always been a long-term goal for the Center. Having Alberto on board is a significant step forward in ensuring that our community has access to safe, inclusive, and professional psychological care when it is most needed.”
If you or someone you know could benefit from these essential services, we encourage you to share this information widely. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that everyone in our community has access to the mental health support they truly deserve.
