Mental Health Support

Mental health support refers to a comprehensive approach to addressing the mental health challenges faced by healthcare professionals, including access to counseling services, peer support initiatives, resilience training, and the reduction of stigma associated with seeking help.

What are the Mental Health Services?

We are proud to now offer professional psychotherapy services at the Vallarta Gay+ Community Center—providing vital mental health care in both English and Spanish, led by licensed psychotherapist Alberto Díaz de León Jiménez Bravo, M.A.

These services are generously sponsored by Tamale’s Tours, whose support makes this milestone possible for our community.

Why Mental Health Matters

Mental health is essential to living a full and balanced life—especially for members of the LGBTQ+ community, who often face added challenges such as stigma, discrimination, and isolation. Offering access to affirming, bilingual mental health care is a key step in our mission to build a stronger, healthier Puerto Vallarta.
