She is mixed race, Latinx (she/hers) & cis-gendered. While there are many reasons a mental health professional is encouraged to limit the personal information they share with their patients, she is culturally competent in the areas of practice offered here. You are enthusiastically encouraged to ask about these practices and why boundaries around a clinician’s personal and especially diagnostic information is shared in limited circumstances for ethical reasons and the benefit of the patients served. 

This is a non-judgmental clinic. Everyone Dr. Winter is trained to serve will be welcome here!

She offers trauma informed therapy, skills training, consultation, and diagnostic services including testing, assessment, second opinion evaluations, and diagnostic clarification. Areas of specialty include ADHD, Autism Spectrum, Anxiety Disorders, risk assessment and consultation. 

She is available for training in these areas related to diagnostic clarification and treatment approach for other mental health professionals on request.
