Beehives are symbols of communal love and interconnectedness. Building new communities are necessary in order to thrive, even if that means creating new families outside of our bloodlines.

We navigate our lives carrying heaviness and traumas within us. Healing from within is achieved only when we allow ourselves the time and space to address these issues.

When we begin to affirm who we are, and empower ourselves to heal, we can then start creating our very own honey.

As a queer Latinx human, I have navigated many struggles (identity, family, rejection). Through my education and experiences, I have been empowered to provide space for those who need to process their heaviness without judgment or shame. The path to healing is not an easy one, however, together we can begin writing your new narrative, in which you are the narrator.

I provide the tools, safety, empathy and affirmations in a non-judgmental atmosphere to help achieve your full potential.

    Good Hive Founder/ Therapist

    Hola mi nombre es Albert. I'm a proud queer Latinx therapist on a mission to create a safe spacemfor hearts and minds. I created Good Hive Counseling PLLC because I know what it's like to search for a place where you can unravel the complexities within.

    My community often overlooked the power of therapy, but as I journeyed through life, I discovered the crucial need for a space that truly gets me.

    Beyond counseling, my passion lies in empowering marginalized communities. I raise our voices through partnerships with nonprofits dedicated to closing the inequality gap.

    As a queer Latinx soul, I've faced and triumphed over personal struggles – from identity exploration to family rejection, discrimination, and the challenge of building self-esteem in a heteronormative world.

    Education and experience have armed me with the ability to hold space for others, offering judgment-free support to process life's burdens. Healing isn't a walk in the park, but together, we can start crafting your new story, where you're the writer, producer, and director.

    I'm the son of hardworking immigrants, born in California, and now navigating the cultural tapestry of Oklahoma. I strongly believe in carving out space for those often unseen or unheard.

    In my therapeutic toolkit, you'll find tools, safety, empowerment, empathy, and affirmations – all in a non-judgmental space designed to help you realize your full potential.

    My approach is all about authentic and vulnerable healing. I take a relatable stance, considering every aspect of your life to nurture the complete person and foster positive change. Think of our sessions as friendly chats infused with a humanistic, psychodynamic mindfulness approach. From exploring life transitions and understanding your sexuality to addressing anxiety, depression, and substance use with a harm reduction approach, we'll navigate these topics together. We'll also delve into tough subjects like challenging toxic masculinity, redefining strength, and finding empowerment through social justice advocacy. I'm here to walk with you through the complexities of generational trauma and religious trauma, offering a supportive and relatable journey.

    If you're ready to begin your journey, I invite you to reach out. Let's connect, explore, and embark on a path of healing and growth. Your story matters, and I'm here to help you write the next chapter. Feel free to schedule a consultation and let's start this transformative journey together.
