As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and Texas and a Licensed Addiction Counselor in Colorado I have made the commitment to help others as they face adversity so as to develop a loving and compassionate relationship with themselves.

I believe that compassion and self-love are powerful tools that allow us to overcome life’s challenges and mental health struggles.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, panic, or emotional stress - or noticing patterns from the past repeating in your relationships - you’re not alone. Unresolved trauma, depression, or anger can affect the way you think, behave, and connect with others. These patterns can also affect how you see yourself - leading to self-doubt, low self-esteem, or a sense of not being good enough. I’m Manuel Olvera, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I specialize in helping adults work through anger, anxiety, acute and complex trauma, depression, self-doubt, and relationship issues, so you can feel more calm and balanced. I also welcome clients who struggle with ADHD-related challenges, particularly when emotional regulation or past trauma is involved. Teenagers are also welcome. In therapy, I aim to listen more than I talk. I offer guidance and explain psychological concepts when they’re helpful, but my main focus is creating space for you to express yourself and process what you're feeling. I ask questions to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors - and I follow your lead. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and elements of CBT to support healing at the level of both the mind and body. I also help you explore how past wounds may be affecting your current relationships. For couples, I use the Gottman Method and often work with each partner individually in addition to joint sessions - especially when personal trauma is showing up in the relationship dynamic. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, struggling with anger, shutdown, or self-doubt - or feeling disconnected from yourself or the people around you - therapy can help. You don’t have to have all the answers. If you’re ready to start, I’d be honored to work with you.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression, quick to anger, or frustrated in your relationships — you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with feel like something just isn’t working, but they can’t quite explain why. Often, these struggles come from early experiences where emotions were ignored, dismissed, or too much for the adults around us to handle. As children, we learn fast: if expressing emotions doesn’t feel safe or accepted, we push them down. Over time, that emotional disconnection can turn into anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or anger that feels hard to control. My work focuses on helping you understand where these patterns come from and how to shift them. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t quiet down, depression that feels heavy, anger that shows up too fast, or relationship challenges that keep repeating — we’ll work together to untangle the deeper story and build healthier ways of coping, connecting, and feeling. This isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been shut down for too long.

My passion for therapy and ability to connect with kids made my path to specialize in Play Therapy along with Animal-Assisted Play Therapy. I focus in Child-Centered and Gestalt Play Therapy to build children’s connections with their body and mind and build confidence in speaking about their feelings. I offer CBT practices to teens and young adults seeking help with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, trauma, and social skills. I have a diverse background working with people of all cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. My goal in therapy is to build genuine connections with others and provide support and empathy to all of my clients. Outside of Therapy, I enjoy Legos, Video Games, and spending time outside going on adventures with my dogs!

Welcome! I'm Monica. Congratulations on taking the first step toward prioritizing your mental health. Beginning therapy can feel empowering, intimidating, or even overwhelming—sometimes all at once—but it’s a courageous and meaningful choice. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care and many other issues. Together, we work on developing assertive communication skills and establishing healthy boundaries, both with yourself and others, to enhance your overall quality of life. Therapy is an opportunity for personal growth and transformation, tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. If you’re ready to take the next step toward building the fulfilling life you deserve, I’m here to support and guide you on your journey.
