The town of San Benito, Texas is also known as Resaca City because the Resaca de los Fresnos goes right down the middle of it. This is a canal that many people enjoy for fishing, boating, and even hiking. In San Benito, you can also find many licensed therapists who will tell you that fishing and other outdoor sports are great for your mind and body. 

This is not to say that if you have a mental illness that going fishing or boating will cure you. But, physical activity of any kind increases the endorphins in your body, which is what improves your mood. If you have depression or any other mental illness, talk to one of the therapists in San Benito to get treatment.

Hello! My name is Meagan and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with over 11 years of experience and a doctoral graduate from Argosy University (EdD in Counseling Psychology). I have worked with clients whose concerns include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and bipolar disorder. I have helped many clients who have experienced physical trauma and/or emotional abuse as well, and clients who are in the military. My clients have included children, adolescents, and adults who come from diverse backgrounds and have provided these services during individual sessions, couple sessions, family sessions, and group sessions. My counseling style focuses on clients identifying their problems and working with them to develop appropriate coping skills to be address how they act and react to situations. Respect and compassion are keystones in my practice, because I believe these qualities significantly impact how people act and react. My theoretical orientation does not rely on just one basis, but pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, so that the client is not forced into a therapy that he or she might not truly benefit from. I do understand change can be hard and uncomfortable and the courage to ask for help or assistance should be commended. When you are ready, I am here to assist you with any concerns.

Hi. I’m Peggy. I am an LPC in the Great State of Texas and have extensive experience working in the mental health field. I am a United States Navy veteran and a retired federal civilian employee. These life experiences have helped to shape who I am – a straight forward, authentic person. I’m task oriented in that I believe if you voluntarily reached out for a counselor, there’s probably a reason. So let’s get to work. On the other hand, I also believe that sometimes life events can seem overwhelming in the moment and you just need someone to talk to, not to fix anything, just someone to listen. I’m that person as well. I wish I could press a button to fix whatever is going on in your life, but we all know that’s not possible. This journey is yours to take, but you don't have to go alone. As a member of your team. I promise I’ll walk beside you, encourage you, and be your biggest ally. Although it may not always seem like it, just remember – you’ve got this!
