At the Vallarta Gay+ Community Center, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health — and we’re proud to share a major step forward in caring for our community’s emotional well-being.
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Tamale’s Tours, we’ve officially launched professional mental health services tailored specifically for the LGBTQ+ population in Puerto Vallarta. Whether you’re facing grief, stress, identity challenges, or need someone to talk to — support is here.
Meet Our Psychotherapist:
We are honored to welcome Alberto Díaz de León Jiménez Bravo, a highly skilled, bilingual psychotherapist, as the lead mental health provider at the Center.
Alberto holds a Master’s degree in Relational Systemic Family Therapy from UNIVA and brings experience from both private practice and hospital settings. He provides:
- Individual, couples, and family therapy (in person or online)
- Grief and bereavement support
- Psychological care for people experiencing illness or hospitalization
His approach is warm, ethical, trauma-informed, and affirming of all identities. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or big life transitions, Alberto offers a safe and inclusive space to work through them.
Why Mental Health Matters for LGBTQ+ Communities
We know that LGBTQ+ individuals are more likely to face mental health challenges due to social stigma, discrimination, and barriers to care. Experiences of rejection, fear, or invisibility can take a toll — and that’s why it’s so important to have access to therapists who truly understand.
Safe spaces for healing matter. And now, we’re proud to offer just that — right here in Puerto Vallarta. Pedro Lopez, Executive Director of the Vallarta Gay+ Community Center, shared his excitement:
“Providing professional mental health support has been a long-term goal. Having Alberto on board is a major milestone in ensuring our community has access to the safe, inclusive care they deserve.”

Community-Powered, Community-Supported
This program wouldn’t be possible without the generous backing of Tamale’s Tours, who continue to go above and beyond to support inclusive, community-driven health initiatives in Vallarta.
Their sponsorship allows us to offer low-cost and accessible mental health support to those who need it most. Your continued donations help us keep these services going, expanding our reach, reducing stigma, and prioritizing wellness.
You Are Not Alone
Please share this resource if you or someone you love could benefit from mental health support. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or you’re returning to care, there’s no shame in asking for help — only strength.
Together, we can build a Puerto Vallarta where every LGBTQ+ person feels seen, heard, and supported — not just during the hard times, but all the time.
