For the past 19 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people from all walks of life navigate challenges, celebrate victories, and discover their inner strength.
I was born and raised in Mexico City, where I earned my BS in Organizational Psychology before moving to the U.S. as a young mother. While raising my two daughters, I pursued my MA in Professional Counseling and volunteered for several years with a local mental health agency and crisis line.
Over the years, I’ve worked with survivors of domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, and individuals facing depression, anxiety, marital conflict, parenting challenges, and adolescent behavioral issues. I have led domestic violence support groups for Hispanic women and parenting classes in Spanish, always to create a safe, understanding space.
For the past 15 years, I’ve focused on supporting parents of children on the autism spectrum and guiding caregivers of elderly or ill loved ones through every stage of care and end-of-life concerns. I’m a Nationally Certified Counselor, Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, and Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional, with extensive training in grief counseling.
While credentials matter, I believe the heart of therapy is connection. I bring warmth, honesty, and encouragement to my work—celebrating your progress, but also telling you the truth when something might cause harm. Therapy is about self-discovery, resilience, and learning to live fully and joyfully, both for yourself and those you love.
I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey to where you want—and deserve—to be.

I wish Liliana could be my everyday go-to person. Yes, I said “everyday,” like my everyday life coach. I wish I could talk to her every day, at least twice a day. She is a genuinely amazing therapist, and she is the second person in my world who truly knows how to listen.

While I had a certain perception about professional help, because of a previous experience where it was horrible. I decided to give therapy another try because I undeniably need personal help, so I discovered betterhelp. I got matched with Dr. Palacios who saw the urgency of my situation and stress, ever since our first session she has been such a positive impact on me and my mental health. I am navigating all of the adversity from childhood up to this point is a healthier way, because of her.

M only problem is that my counsellor is in California and I'm in Britain! My internet connection is poor so video doesn't always work. Even on the phone I sruggle a bit. I'm happy to persist because Liliana is really very good - empathic, non-judgemental and basically kind and understanding.
