Eros Arcana Therapy, LLC

About Me Hello! My name is Lina. I am a Hispanic mom from Texas to 3 XXL pups and 3 young adults (18, 19, and 21 yrs. old). I'm also a marriage veteran of over 20 yrs. My family and I have lived in South Carolina for nearly 5 yrs., where I am a licensed marriage and family therapy associate with a specialization in sex and relationship therapy, working with both individuals, couples, and polycules. Specialty I possess a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in Systemic Sex Therapy, and I am a doctoral candidate in Clinical Sexology. What is sex therapy? It is purely talk therapy between me and each partner in the relationship. Most times we will meet as a group to ensure we are all on the same page; however, at times I do meet with partners individually. Sexual/relationship challenges both impact and are impacted by the various challenges in your life. I have a deep understanding of how these challenges can affect all aspects of your life, including your self-worth and that of your partner as well. My role is very similar to that of a translator. I use my ability to connect, empathize with, and understand each partner's inner world, allowing them insight and me the opportunity to help them share their thoughts and emotions in a way that their partner will be receptive to. This process helps them develop healthier patterns of interaction and, in time, a stronger bond with more intimacy. Methods I am a person-centered therapist. I am trained in a variety of methods to accommodate each client individually, such as Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy, where I utilize the power of emotion to transform the way individuals interact with one another in their relationships, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), which is a method capable of being adapted to help reduce symptoms of distressing thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors that may be impacting your relationships, and the use of tarot cards in therapy for clients seeking a more intuitive or spiritual approach to their relationship. Call me today! I look forward to working with you to strengthen your relationship with better intimacy, communication, & trust.
