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 ignored or dismissed. You learned to shrink your needs, stay quiet, and make yourself small—maybe because your parents couldn’t handle big emotions, or because no one ever showed you how to feel safe in your own body.
Now, you’re left with an unshakable sense that you don’t quite belong. You hustle for love. You wait to be chosen. You don’t fully believe you’re enough—unless you’re earning it.
I help people-pleasers and perfectionists like you reclaim your voice, your needs, and your worth—not because you finally checked every box, but because you were always worthy of being seen.
Through weekly psychospiritual trauma therapy, nature-based ecotherapy, or deeper work like hypnotherapy and Ketamine Therapy, we’ll begin to heal the wounds of invisibility, shame, and emotional neglect.
You don’t have to keep hustling for love. You get to take up space—just as you are.
This is your invitation to come home—to a self where your needs matter, your voice is heard, and your heart finally rests.
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 help high-achieving women who had to hide their feelings to keep the peace—especially the “easy kids,” people pleasers, and perfectionists—heal anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and the lasting impact of childhood emotional wounds and emotionally unavailable environments.
My primary offering is trauma-informed psychotherapy. We focus on reprogramming the inner beliefs that keep you stuck—whether it’s low self-esteem, fear of taking up space, or the pressure to keep everyone else comfortable.
I also offer ketamine-assisted therapy, clinical hypnotherapy, and psychedelic integration for those drawn to deeper subconscious work—but you don’t need to do those to work with me.
If you feel burned out, disconnected, or like no one ever really saw you growing up, therapy can help you feel whole, grounded, and finally at home in yourself.
I offer virtual therapy across New York and New Jersey, and nature-based sessions in Westchester County.
Silently struggling with anxiety and emotional exhaustion
Feeling guilty anytime you set a boundary or say no
Putting everyone else first—and resenting it later

Blaming yourself when things go wrong
Believing your worth is tied to self-sacrifice
Waiting for your parents to change so you can finally feel loved
Seeking others’ approval before making even small decisions

Understanding the root of your anxiety, not just managing it
Setting boundaries with clarity and confidence—without guilt

My Approach
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, honoring the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. As a therapist, I blend somatic therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), hypnotherapy, and psychedelic-assisted therapy to support deep, lasting change.
While I offer expanded-state healing through ketamine therapy and hypnotherapy, my core offering is weekly psychotherapy—grounded in presence, trust, and emotional attunement.
I also bring a spiritual and shamanic lens to my work. This means I don’t treat healing as a linear process. Instead, I follow the natural intelligence of your body and psyche—what some call the inner healing intelligence. Just as your body knows how to heal a cut, your inner world knows how to guide you toward wholeness.
Therapy is a collaborative process. You are the expert of your own inner world, and I’m here to walk beside you. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, tap into your inner resilience, and co-create a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and free.
