As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, Luis works tirelessly to support the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. Luis is also the founder of PsychoSocial Media, a mental health platform providing mental health articles and resources. He is also the co-owner of PsychoSocial Therapy, a private practice specializing in LGBTQ+ and BIPOC mental health.
