Therapists in McAllen, TX

Bienvenidos! As a Valley native, I have been in private practice since 1982 in Virginia and Texas. I work with clients above the age of 12 (and younger children in family therapy). I specialize in resolving depression and anxiety, and tackling marital problems relating to infidelity, intimacy, child rearing, midlife crisis, and communicating. When a client is motivated, I find that short-term therapy is often sufficient to effect significant positive changes, but I may see clients for longer periods when the problems are related to childhood wounds. I often use dream analysis to deepen our work, and to help in resolving trauma.

I provide short-term psychotherapy services that are practical and solution focused. I take a collaborative approach in helping clients make the changes they are seeking. Additionally, I am certified in Rapid Resolution Therapy using Clinical Hypnosis, for individuals who have suffered trauma. Please see my website for more details: www.marriageandfamilywellnesscenter.com

I have been a clinical therapist for several years now. I tend to take an eclectic approach to therapy. I utilize the best approaches to help you effectively achieve your personal growth needs, which we mutually establish for you during the course of counseling. Primarily, I do rely upon a person-centered approach to develop a close working rapport with clients, which is beneficial for the establishment of your counseling treatment goals. The majority of my counseling has been with clients that have addiction, (marriage/family) relationships, anxiety, depression, and anger management concerns.

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.

I work with a range of areas, from individuals, couples, and groups, focusing on subjects such as identity development, life transitions, chronic pain and illness, anxiety, depression, and many others. I hope that by working with me, you are in a position to begin exploring what's important to you in your life and navigating how to take steps in living your most full life. I tend to work with people who are highly motivated and have an idea of what they're goals for therapy are. However, if you don't have an idea, I am more than happy to help navigate those questions with you!

I am a compassionate, holistic therapist whose aim is to empower you to live a fulfilling and balanced life.

Let me guide you on a transformative journey toward greater well-being, where you can flourish and thrive.

Symptoms of Depression and/or Anxiety can stem from a variety of sources, including grief, trauma, or daily stressors. You and I can work together at identifying the main perceived problem to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Once we have developed such treatment plan and you agree, we can begin our episode of care focused on attaining desired goals. While I work with you, I will promote a safe environment for you, which is empathic and judgement free. I will be assisting you while solely focusing on your well-being and overall wellness. I will encourage you to trust in our therapeutic relationship.

What is the DOT return-to-duty process? A positive test is a violation. So also is a refusal to be tested. So are a number of other things that are prohibited by DOT. When an employee has a positive test or refuses to be tested or has one of DOT's other violations, DOT requires the employer to immediately remove that employee from safety-sensitive functions. An employer who allows an employee with a violation to continue performing safety-sensitive functions is subject to fines, up to $10,000 per day. An employee with a violation has two options.
