Meet Luisa Nagore, LPC
I am Luisa Nagore, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona and a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. I have been working with adults, women, LGBTIA+ on multiple levels regarding their mental health, emotional & cultural needs. In my practice, I use an integrated approach to meet you where you stand. Trauma focus and CBT are at the fore front of my skills, but I also integrate other approaches including existentialism, feminist and cultural diversity (not limited to race and ethnicity). My first language is Spanish as I was born in El Salvador and I am also fluent in French after living in France several years ago. I’ve lived in Tucson, AZ for 15 years, completed my Bachelor of Art in Psychology at the University of Arizona, and earned my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Phoenix. I've been in private practice for 5 years. In the past I worked at community mental health agencies and facilitated IOP program in private setting. Building trust with professional strangers is a challenge biased by fear of stigma and the value of counseling services. I am a cis hetero wife and mother of two, I love learning about anything and everything, and believe trust is essential for any personal or working relationship.

My approach includes integration of mind, body, and spirit using body based techniques to help you reduce stress responses in the moment. These techniques can help to reduce anxiety, depression, and trauma responses.
