Hi / Hola! My name is Kaiza Canales, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I am honored to be part of the Let’s Talk About team. I was born and raised in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, and my journey has taken me through many personal and professional experiences that have shaped the way I support others today. I earned my Master’s degree in Organizational Psychology from InterAmerican University in Puerto Rico and have also completed doctoral-level coursework in Counseling and Psychology.​

With over 10 years of clinical experience working in private practice, community services, and multidisciplinary settings, I have had the privilege of helping individuals navigate complex emotional challenges and meaningful life transitions. I am a Certified Trauma and Grief Specialist, and I specialize in working with teenagers, adults, and couples who are ready to better understand themselves, work through difficult experiences, and move forward with greater clarity and strength.​

In therapy, I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being fully themselves and exploring emotions that may have been difficult to express. My goal is not only to listen, but to actively help clients develop the insight, tools, and confidence needed to create real and lasting change in their lives.​

On a more personal note, I am a proud mother of two daughters and share my home with three dogs. I deeply value time with my family and enjoy traveling to Puerto Rico whenever I can to reconnect with my roots.​

If you are ready to begin working toward a healthier, more balanced life, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
