Trauma and PTSD Therapists in McAllen, TX

Counseling is a personal and meaningful experience. Together we can find healthy ways to manage distress with achievable goals specific for you. I am here to listen without judgement and provide a safe space to process through difficult times. I enjoy working with individuals to empower them with ways to create positive changes and find balance in their personal, work, and social lives. I have worked with children and adults who have survived abuse or experienced a traumatic event in their lives. Trauma of all sorts can show up in different ways and at different times in our lives.

I have been a psychologist for over 30 years with a breadth of experience in a variety of clinical settings. I received extensive training in psychodynamic therapy, including studies at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. This depth approach is especially helpful for individuals who have a pattern of difficulties in relationships or have personality issues that hold them back in their personal and professional lives. Individuals with long standing self-esteem issues often find a depth approach especially helpful as do individuals with anxiety and depression who have not been helped by other therapy approaches.

It is our unique life experiences that influence our perspective. Most of us confront our problems based on our life experiences. At PAZ Behavioral Health, PLLC, it is our belief that life is a tapestry and it is beautiful, even with its imperfections. Like a tapestry, our lives are woven differently, which makes us all unique.

You want to trust others but you worry about getting hurt. You rather leave a relationship before they leave you. You find yourself anxious in relationships and you look for reassurance from your partner. You're worried that good things wont last forever. In therapy, you will learn to understand your body, mind, and emotions. We will process triggers and stop anxious spiraling. We will reprocess past trauma. You will learn tools/exercises that will help you feel connected and in control of your body. Life will feel more authentic and you will find new confidence. Relationships will begin to feel safe and healthy.

My practice is primarily with adults, adolescents and families, who are struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, past trauma and life challenges.

I provide a relaxed, comfortable environment for my clients to share those things in life they would like to change. I am trained to offer you EMDR Therapy® for PTSD. I use a directive counseling approach, providing homework and guidance, with a multimodal approach to therapy.

Feeling stressed these days is pretty common, but when it begins to impact your relationships, makes stepping out the door a challenge, or starts interfering with work or school, it's a clear signal to consider seeking support. Perhaps you're feeling stuck in the past, unable to move forward – that's a definite cue that it's time for some assistance. If you're noticing changes such as 'overthinking' everything, feeling angry, drinking or smoking more, avoiding friends & family, or experiencing physical symptoms due to anxiety, seeking help is incredibly important

Do you feel that you are surviving but you are not living life due to the pain that you have experienced? Often times we run away from the pain; we incorporate countless of ways to avoid it including through symptoms of anxiety, anxiety attacks, depression, substance, post-traumatic stress, adjustment disorders, anger, or any other means that will help us to not lean toward the pain. I often tell my clients, "You have to Feel in order to Heal," and this is where we take back our authentic power and we learn to thrive. Let me be the one to speak to that wounded part of YOU and allow me to say, you are able to HEAL!

Former Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, once wrote, “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” As a mental health therapist associate from South Texas, I realize that therapy goes beyond the diagnosis realm and into a wider space of understanding, attunement, and healing. Renowned physician, Gabor Mate asserted that healing does not rely on getting rid of the pain but in increasing one’s capacity to be resilient to it. I honor you as a human, with many parts and crevices that showcase your authentic self. My approach is geared toward helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered; Be Here Now.

What was once bad memories, that you were able to suppress, have now become intrusive in your daily life. Each day feels like you're more stressed out than the day before. You find yourself easily irritable, & it's difficult to be around your loved ones. The nightmares and sleepless nights are happening more often & no one seems to understand your past. When you do get to sleep, waking up to the ringing in the ears is so unpleasant. The panic attacks feel like you are taking your last breaths. Therapy seems daunting, because the very last thing you want to do is re-live any of it, but you would give anything to feel internal peace.
