5 years offering treatment
Hi. Welcome to my bio. I'd like to share some information about myself. I have 5 years of experience as a professional counselor, with 20+ years in healthcare administration. During my years in healthcare administration I was in management for 17 years (consistently coaching, mentoring and training). During that time I had to balance career and family, raise 2 children, grow professionally, and trying to grow personally. The challenges of those years prompted me to change my career to help those who struggled like myself. During the past decade I've personally and professionally learned how to balance my life, use positive coping skills, lower stress, and just have fun. This helped deepen my conviction that a person should be supported as a whole, addressing connections between the mind, body, and spirit. I have a Ph.D. in Health Psychology and a Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. My dissertation focused on using video public service announcements to motivate people to engage in physical activity. In 2016 I completed a study abroad for 4 months to further my cultural understandings. I am also certified in Wellness and Nutrition counseling because I believe in balance between the mind and the body. As a therapist I use cognitive behavioral therapy with a solution-focused approach toward resolution, healing, and peace. A solution focused approach means I work with you to pick goals and then we discuss how to reach those goals. We can continue to develop new goals or just explore personal growth each week. In addition, I use several techniques specific to anxiety, life balance, and positive coping. I also use DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) and REBT (rational emotive behavior therapy) techniques to help encourage change. In therapy, I tend to encourage different ways to retrain the brain and reach the goals set by my clients. I always like to let people know, while I love tele-counseling, I do work in a clinic seeing clients face to face. For this reason I am not online at all times. I am available at different times for Live Sessions. I do get online at least 5 out of 7 days a week (trying to balance my work and personal time) to respond to messages. Please feel free to ask any questions so that you can get the counseling experience you are looking for. https://www.anxietyandwellness.com https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/210593 Welcome to Better help.

- With therapists: $100-300

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Edinburg is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
