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!

Hi, I'm Dr. Chapa-Cantu, a Licensed Psychologist. I was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, as were most of our clinicians. Our group consists of bilingual, compassionate clinicians with a passion to serve our local community. We believe in the power of change through relationships, and the amazing RESILIENCY that is an integral part of all of us. If you have considered therapy, but hesitated in the past, call us for a free 20 minute consultation to see if therapy is a good fit for you. We welcome children and adults, and have a particular interest in working with our local population.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. And a journey towards a healthier, happier life begins with a single conversation. Let's take that first step together. Everyone deserves to live a life that's fulfilling and meaningful, and I am passionate about helping individuals and families find their way back to happier, healthier lives.

Sometimes life is hard. At times, the things that seem to work in the past don’t work as well anymore. Counseling is designed to help people overcome hard times by partnering with them to find resolution and wellness. Counseling can improve your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being as well as your relationships with others. You may have specific issues to address or just want to enhance your day-to-day living. I view counseling as a way to enrich your life. Over many years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside countless people as we successfully find solutions to their mental health and addiction issues.

Going through life with all of our day to day occurrences plus the unexpected ones can cause our vision to become clouded. We've all been there- I've been there. You don't have to sort it out on your own. Sometimes your child or teen's challenges are due to circumstances we had no control over like traumas or other events and sometimes it is due to issues within our families and each issue impacts an individual differently- this is why restoring and managing relationships is often a focus of therapy. I can understand that desire for a renewed mind; free from the stress and worry of the world, to be able to live in peace and order.
