Parenting Therapists in Pharr, TX

Life as a single parent can be overwhelming. Our single-parent counseling provides practical solutions for the unique challenges of single mothers and single fathers.

I am a bilingual licensed professional counselor in Texas with 7 years of professional work experience.

Life is not always perfect. There are ways to live through difficult moments a little easier. I like to think of counseling like a space where you get to explore, connect, and grow. There are many unpleasant moments in life that we carry and need healing. Finding the right counselor and space to heal and move on from painful memories is important. Counseling can sometimes feel scary, but when you don’t feel balanced it can carry into other aspect of your life. Like I tell my clients “I’m here for your counseling journey, for the great sessions and the bittersweet ones too”.

Welcome! Are you seeking therapy to navigate a past, current, and/or future difficult season? Entering therapy is never easy, I admire the courage it has taken for you to be here. I specialize in treating adults with Anxiety, Grief, & Trauma, but not limited to relationship issues, life transitions, pregnancy-prenatal-postpartum, premarital-marital-post marital, depression, parenting, and behavioral problems. My approach is to accept you where you are, in a non-judging, neutral, and safe zone. My desire for you is to obtain an optimal level of living, especially when it comes to your mental and emotional state.

You can heal in your goals by developing new skills to become the better person you want to be. By overcoming behavioral issues in whatever lifestyle and situation you find yourself in. In counseling, we can see our vulnerability as human beings where we find ourselves facing irrational ways of thinking that take us to negative feelings and then we act them out. Thus, the process of learning other ventures to life is to face ourselves at times with our own issues and learn to re-think things out. To heal ourselves is to also not only learn to change ourselves but to forgive ourselves along the journey of our lives.

My ideal client seeks support for common mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and stress. They grapple with parenting concerns, motivation, low self-esteem, and a desire for improved confidence. Their needs revolve around creating coping strategies, fostering resilience, and gaining emotional well-being. Their goals include developing effective stress management, enhancing self-esteem, and achieving a more positive mindset. They seek a compassionate ally to navigate their journey, aiming for a fulfilling and happier life grounded in self-empowerment and personal growth.

Deciding to seek help is the first step in the counseling process, and most often, the hardest step. Parents want the best for their children, but sometimes it’s hard identifying what exactly is the best way to help them. If your child is experiencing difficulty managing their emotions or behaviors, finds it hard building relationships with you or with peers, or has experienced a major life transition that they are struggling to cope with, I am here to assure you that you are taking an important step to better you and your loved ones life.
