Reencuentro Counseling was born from the idea of returning to ourselves—to reconnecting with our sense of self on both a mental and spiritual level and nurturing our overall bien estar, or well-being. The word reencuentro translates to “reencounter,” reflecting the process of coming back to ourselves, reconnecting with who we are, and creating space for healing.

Founded in 2026 by Sonia Rios Albarran, LSW, and Lorena Maposito, LCSW, Reencuentro Counseling began with a shared mission to move beyond traditional “talk therapy” and create a more culturally responsive approach to mental health and wellness.

Our work recognizes that healing does not happen in a single aspect of our lives. Our experiences, relationships, families, cultures, and the generations before us can all shape how we understand ourselves and move through the world. Reencuentro was created to provide a space where individuals can explore these experiences with compassion, deepen their connection to themselves, and begin creating space for intergenerational healing through empowerment.
