About Us: Louisville Spanish Speaking Therapy
Our Journey
Louisville Spanish Speaking Therapy (LSST) was founded in 2017 with a vision to bridge the gap in accessible, reliable information about Spanish-speaking therapy services in Louisville, Kentucky. We recognized a critical need for an online resource that not only highlights available resources but also educates and empowers individuals seeking mental health support in their native language.
Since our inception, LSST has grown from a modest online platform to a trusted go-to source for anyone interested in learning about Spanish-speaking therapy options within the Louisville community. Our journey has been marked by several significant milestones:
- 2017: Launch of the website, featuring an initial directory of Spanish-speaking therapists and resources.
- 2018: Expansion of content to include articles addressing cultural considerations in therapy, patient testimonials, and mental health tips tailored to the Latino community.
- 2019: Introduction of our ‘Therapist Spotlight’ series, showcasing practitioners’ unique approaches and backgrounds.
- 2020: During the global pandemic, we increased our efforts to promote teletherapy as a viable option, ensuring continued access to care for Spanish-speaking individuals.
- 2021: Celebration of 5 years of empowering Louisville’s Latino community through mental health awareness and accessible resources.
- 2022: Continued growth with over 10,000 unique visitors monthly, solidifying our position as a leading online resource for Spanish-speaking therapy in Louisville.
Our Purpose and Values
LSST is dedicated to fostering cultural sensitivity and accessibility in the mental health landscape of Louisville. Our core values are:
- Accuracy: We strive for unbiased, evidence-based information, ensuring every piece of content is fact-checked by domain experts.

Filling a Digital Void
The internet, while abundant with information, often lacks specific, culturally relevant resources for Spanish-speaking communities, especially in niche fields like therapy. LSST was created to fill this gap by offering:
- Comprehensive Directories: Easy access to a searchable database of Spanish-speaking therapists and counseling services in Louisville.
- Educational Content: Articles addressing cultural barriers in therapy, mental health topics relevant to the Latino community, and patient success stories.
- Transparent Information: We provide clear, unbiased details about various therapy modalities, ensuring individuals can make choices aligned with their preferences and needs.
Unbiased Information and Reliability
Ensuring accurate and reliable information is at the heart of LSST’s operations. Every piece of content undergoes a rigorous review process by licensed therapists who are native Spanish speakers or have extensive experience working with Latino populations. We value transparency and welcome feedback from our readers to continuously improve our resources.
