Nemi reminds us to honor our ancestors and carry forward what is nurturing, healing, and necessary for our life journeys. Nemi reminds us that we are all connected – to each other, to the earth, to our past and to our future.
To us, Nemi means mental health care for everyone.
Nemi comes from a Nahuatl word meaning “to live.”
MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Meet Beth!
Beth (LPC, Texas and New Jersey) is the founder of Nemi and a culturally-affirming psychodynamic therapist trained at Columbia University, where she earned both a MA and MSEd in Mental Health Counseling. She specializes in identity, attachment, and relational and generational trauma, and is trained in EMDR.
She is a therapist for therapists, and also works with primarily with queer folks, children and grandchildren of immigrants, people in poly and expansive relationships, and those navigating questions of belonging, authenticity, and what it means to honor your roots while building your own life.
In sessions, you might explore how anxiety connects to cultural expectations, unpack attachment patterns and family-of-origin dynamics, or imagine new ways of relating that feel more aligned and genuine.
Beth brings her own identities into the therapy room thoughtfully. She's a queer, white, Mexican-American woman with Indigenous (Nahua) heritage. She approaches therapy with an awareness of how culture, power, and history shape our relationships... including the one in the therapy room.
She is deeply interested in how personal healing moves beyond the individual, into the relationships, friendships, and communities we're actively creating.
She can't wait to meet you!
Beth’s work is grounded in queer-affirming, culturally aware, and socially conscious care.
MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Meet Alejandra!
Alejandra (LPC, Texas) is a bilingual therapist with an MS from Texas Tech in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She works with people navigating the in-between: between cultures, identities, roles, and expectations. Her practice is grounded in culturally affirming, social-justice informed care, with a focus on burnout, imposter syndrome, and identity-related stress.
She works primarily with college students, activists, and young professionals who feel exhausted from carrying too much on their own, and are looking for support that acknowledges both their inner world and the external pressures they're facing.
Alejandra’s work is informed by Embodied Social Justice, Chicana/o/x Affirmative Therapy, mindful self-compassion, and yoga-informed movement. In sessions, this might look like exploring how stress and self-doubt are shaped by cultural expectations, reconnecting with the body as a source of grounding and information, or building more compassionate and sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others.

Alejandra’s lived experience shapes the way she practices. She is a bilingual daughter of immigrants navigating the duality of being both Mexican and American. Having moved through her own experiences of burnout and career transitions, she offers a space where struggle is met with validation, and where humor, warmth, and awe are always welcome.
She believes therapy works best when it feels human, collaborative, and real, and she looks forward to walking alongside you!
Alejandra offers grounded, embodied support for stress, burnout, and self-doubt.
Our Values
Authentic Expression
We welcome all parts of who you are – the messy, the contradictory, the still-figuring-it-out parts. You don’t need to perform or edit yourself here.
Intersectionality
In the words of Audre Lorde, “there is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.” Your identity, your communities, and the systems you navigate all matter in therapy.
Justice-Informed Care
We recognize that personal struggles don’t happen in a vacuum. Systemic and political issues are mental health issues, and we won’t pretend otherwise.
Human-centered, not diagnosis-centered
We see you as a whole person, not a collection of symptoms. Our approach focuses on understanding your experience, not pathologizing it.
