Discover the Depths Within
At Inner Worlds Psychotherapy, you are guided to explore your inner world, heal old wounds, and step into your most authentic self.
You’re the woman who gives everything—and forgets herself in the process. You give until you’re empty—because you learned love is something you earn. You’d even set yourself on fire just to keep others warm, then wonder why you feel unseen.
Growing up, your feelings were brushed aside or ignored. You learned to shrink your needs, to stay quiet, to make yourself small—maybe because your parents couldn’t handle big emotions, or maybe because no one showed you how. Now, you’re left with this deep, unshakable sense that you don’t quite belong—always hustling for love, always waiting to be chosen, never quite believing you’re enough just as you are.
As a therapist, I help overlooked people-pleasers like you finally take up the space you deserve—not because you’ve earned it, but because you were always worthy of it. Together, we’ll heal your deep wounds of invisibility, whether through weekly psychospiritiual therapy, nature-based ecotherapy, or deeper modalities like hypnotherapy or Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
No more hustling for love.
This is your invitation to come home—to a self where your needs matter, your voice is heard, and your heart finally rests. Let’s begin your journey to freedom: unapologetic, whole, and yours.
Hi, I’m citlali (seet-la-lee)
here to guide you on your journey inward.
I specialize helping unseen good-girls take off the mask of perfectionism. Helping you explore your inner world to heal past wounds, break free from old patterns, and step into your most authentic self. Rooted in a psychospiritual approach, my work honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit, guiding you toward deeper healing and wholeness. To take things even deeper, I offer Ketamine Therapy, Psychedelic integration & preparation, and Hypnotherapy to access the root cause of your childhood trauma and heal it at the source.
Whether you’re carrying the weight of childhood trauma, feeling stuck in people-pleasing, anxiety, or perfectionism, or simply longing for deeper connection and peace, I’m here to walk beside you.
Let’s create a life that feels whole, balanced, and truly yours.
Based in Westchester, NY, and licensed in both New York and New Jersey, I’m here to guide you on your journey toward freedom, peace, and wholeness.

My Approach
My work is rooted in a trauma-informed, integrative approach that honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I weave together somatics, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, ACT, psychodynamics, and psychedelic-assisted therapy with a deep respect for the mystical and spiritual dimensions of healing.
As an integrative spiritual psychotherapist, I see through a shamanic lens, which means I don’t approach healing in a linear way. Instead, I trust in the wisdom of the Universe and follow the lead of your inner healing intelligence; just as your body knows how to heal, so does your psyche. My role is to guide you in reconnecting with this innate wisdom.
Therapy, in my view, is a synergetic and collaborative experience. You are the expert of your own inner world, and I am here to walk beside you as we co-create a more awakened, whole version of yourself. Together, we’ll tap into your inner resilience and healing resources, helping you move toward the life you were always meant to live.

I identify as Chicana (Mexican-American). My full name, Citlalicue, comes from the indigenous Aztec language, Nahuatl. Citlalicue is the Aztec goddess of the stars and the cosmos, associated with the creation of stars, the Milky Way, Earth, and the profound cycles of life, death, and darkness.
I feel deeply connected to my name, as Citlalicue’s energy and wisdom resonate in my work. Her presence reminds me of the vastness of the human spirit and the transformative power of embracing both light and shadow.
