Therapists in Penitas, TX
Founded by six survivors of the Pánfilo de Narváez expedition of 1520, Penitas, Texas, claims to be the oldest European settlement in the United States. This quaint city is a place where 16 th -century Spanish explorers and Native Americans were able to work together to create a village based on mutual respect and sharing.
Unfortunately, not all the situations or relationships in our lives go as smoothly as the ones between the Calero and the Spaniards. This can have a huge impact on mental health, leading to depression, anxiety and a host of other issues. Thankfully, the area around Texas’s oldest city has something very special—mental health professionals who can help you find balance and stability like the founders of Penitas found so long ago.

You did it - you took the first step toward a more enriched life. Yes, therapy can be scary, but so can continuing to exist day to day without fulfillment, fire, or clarity. No, we don't have to analyze your childhood for years in order for progress and steps forward to take place. What I will offer is a collaborative approach and meet you exactly where you are. Are you struggling making connections? Having trouble getting over a break up? Do you constantly compare yourself to others? Let's do something about it. No more staying "stuck." Shake up habitual ways of thinking to something more meaningful. I specialize working with anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and stress management. I want my clients to leave with a sense of empowerment and gain perception on how to live a different and more satisfying life. So let's stop letting another day pass by existing but not really living and strive toward some positive and lasting changes!
