Juan Folgar, LCSW

Mental Health Counselor

Hello, I’m a social work counselor and BU Alum with experience supporting teens, young adults, and adults at our Harvard Square clinic. I work from a culturally responsive, strength-based approach that centers your experiences, identity, and goals. I strive to create a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

I support clients navigating anxiety, stress, identity exploration, family conflict, life transitions, academic pressure, emotional challenges, and much more. Using person-centered and strengths-based approaches, we’ll work together to build coping skills, confidence, self-awareness, and healthier ways to manage life’s challenges.

Reaching out for support can feel difficult, but you do not have to navigate things alone. I believe healing begins in spaces where people feel safe, valued, and understood. I have spent years of experience learning how to create safe spaces for others. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward growth, balance, and emotional wellness.
