Rafael Cazares Marriage and Family Therapy
Therapy for Men of Color and First-Gen Professionals Facing Anxiety, Relationship Challenges, and Cultural Expectations
Does This Sound Familiar?
You wake up feeling low, unmotivated, and don’t always know why.
Your mind races from the moment you open your eyes, leaving you exhausted before the day even begins.
Past hurts or family wounds weigh heavily, making it hard to trust or connect with others.
Some days, you just want to shut everyone out and disappear for a while.
Hi, I’m Rafael Cazares
I’m a first-generation Latino therapist who understands what it’s like to grow up in a home where emotional needs weren’t always seen or supported. I offer culturally sensitive, trauma-informed therapy for men from diverse backgrounds—including men of color (Latino, Latinx, Black), gay men, and those navigating the intersections of culture, masculinity, and identity. I also welcome others who resonate with these experiences and want a space where they feel understood.
Many of my clients are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress. These challenges often stem from family dynamics, cultural pressure, or the expectation to hold everything together. You might look like you’re managing just fine, but inside, it can feel overwhelming or stuck. I help you make space for what you’ve been carrying and support you in building a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who you are.
Individual Therapy
On the outside, you might look like you’re managing just fine—but inside, it can feel heavy. Maybe you're feeling stuck in your relationships or unsure how to open up emotionally with the people closest to you. You may have learned to push through, stay silent, or carry the weight on your own. But a part of you knows something needs to change.
Therapy gives you space to step back and check in with yourself. We’ll work together to make sense of what you’ve been carrying and help you move toward clarity, connection, and a life that feels more like your own.
