Dr. Leticia Nieto

Born in Puebla, Mexico, Dr. Leticia Nieto moved to the US in 1978 and began working in social justice action with people who experienced incarceration, addiction, and displacement.  Her focus was anti-racism, economic, immigrant, and disability justice. Leticia holds degrees in theatre, human development, and clinical psychology. For 33 years, she worked as a professor with Masters and Doctoral students with an intersectional model she developed to train counselors and leaders in anti-oppression theory and reflective practice incorporating gender justice, indigenous self-determination, children and elder rights, and queer justice.  She now works primarily using action methods (psychodrama and expressive arts) with anti-oppression trainers and leaders along with maintaining a counseling practice.
