Immigration Evaluations & Immigrant Support Therapy in California & Texas
Navigating immigration experiences can bring a mix of stress, uncertainty, and emotional weight that isn’t always visible to others. At Lumina Serene Counseling, we offer culturally responsive therapy and immigration support services designed to honor your story, your identity, and the complexity of what you’re carrying.

We move at your pace, offering support that is both grounding and practical.
