Ileana Garces
@ileanagarces
I interpret English and Spanish medical, mental health, and community conversations remotely.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
At Healthier Minds, I provide real-time Spanish–English interpretation for mental health intakes, therapy sessions, and assessments, supporting clear and culturally appropriate communication in sensitive conversations.
Through Global Interpreting Network, SOSi, LanguageLine Solutions, and Lionbridge, I’ve interpreted medical and community interactions across ER, primary care, rehabilitation, social services, emergency services, insurance, utilities, and financial services. I’ve delivered 1,000+ hours of telephonic interpretation while maintaining accuracy, neutrality, confidentiality, and professionalism.
I also bring community-based interpreting experience in Mexico and Peru, including asylum seeker and humanitarian cases through Respond Crisis Translation. My training includes community, medical, trauma-informed, and mental health interpreting, and I’m pursuing legal interpreting certification.
