about dr. julissa
¡Hola and Welcome to Aura!
I’m Dr. Julissa M. Pagán Peña and founder of A.U.R.A. I’m a bilingual and bicultural clinician born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. During my adolescent years I discovered my interest and future passion for serving people experiencing emotional distress and who need guidance and support to find answers for their current mental health struggles.
In my clinical practice I integrate systemic, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and cognitive-behavioral approaches in where the therapeutic relationship is highly collaborative. I also integrate a social justice lense in order to understand the person’s current struggles from an anti-oppressive, decolonizing approach and to further facilitate healing from abusive systems.
I also provide life coaching services specializing on emotional wellness where the focus is on identifying current emotional barriers that are keeping clients from reaching their goals. Coaching sessions are a non-diagnostic and non-pathologizing approach in where the main goal is for clients to unlock and access their full-potential.
