Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Harlingen, TX

Hello there! I'm Melissa and I am a first-generation, bilingual Latina from south Texas. I understand the fear and loneliness often experienced during major life transitions. I enjoy working to build resiliency in clients as they navigate these transitions such as new parenthood, moving away from home, starting college, or entering the workforce.

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.

If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, feeding and eating disorders, relationship concerns, or postpartum struggles I want to help you. I like to collaborate with my clients to aid them in identifying areas of struggle, creating workable goals and plans to help move forward in the change process and re-write unhelpful internal dialogue while creating fresh perspective. I am glad to integrate personal stories, faith, values, DBT and CBT concepts, narrative techniques, and behavioral strategies in tailored ways for each individual.

Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues...whatever you're looking for, I am here to help. Therapy is universal with no expiration date which means finding the right therapist is ideal for growth. Even if after your complimentary session you decide to not move forward, you can contact me with any questions you might have. I work with clients of all age groups, whether you need help on a substantial scale or in small increments.

I am an independently Licensed Psychological Associate (LPA) providing our South Texas community with culturally sensitive, holistic, and empirically-supported psychological services tailored to each of my patient's individual needs and circumstances. I'm a native from Monterrey, NL, Mexico and have lived in South Texas for 28 years. As a bilingual psychology practitioner, I offer comprehensive Spanish, English, and dual-language evaluations, brief examinations, and long-term psychotherapeutic treatment for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in the State of Texas.

My work with teens and adults who have experienced trauma begins with meeting them where they are at. I utilize a person centered approach with trauma informed care practices to ease clients into therapy. Teaching coping skills and assisting in emotional exploration are key skills needed to begin the healing process and I am ready to help you identify the skills you already possess.
