About

Freed Minds Therapy / Mentes Liberadas delivers bilingual English-Spanish psychotherapy from Chula Vista's Otay Lakes Road, specializing in trauma, PTSD, substance-use recovery, and human-trafficking survivor care. EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy anchor the clinical methodology, with 12-step recovery integration supporting the substance-abuse treatment track alongside the holistic wellness programming that Kyra Kare Health & Wellness runs in the same South Bay corridor. The practice serves populations including unaccompanied minors, immigrants, foster youth, and formerly incarcerated individuals navigating systemic trauma and reentry challenges. Clinical work with survivors of sexual trafficking, labor trafficking, and commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) requires specialized safety-planning and stabilization protocols, and the practice coordinates somatic-release referrals through The Joint Chiropractic for patients addressing trauma-stored physical tension alongside psychological processing. The highest-complexity cases involve phased EMDR reprocessing for poly-victimization trauma in trafficking survivors with co-occurring substance dependence, requiring sequential stabilization, affect-regulation skill-building, and coordinated care with legal advocates and case managers.
