Still reeling from the election results, but don't have a safe space to process your feelings? Worried about the future, but others around you don't seem to get it? Have you ever wanted a safe space to talk and explore, unfiltered and unafraid of what the other person is going to think? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, then keep reading because I might be a good match for you! I offer a different perspective. I am licensed in Texas with a decade of professional counseling experience. My natural counseling style is more flexible, casual, and exploratory. I like to create a safe space that helps clients get curious about the root cause of why they do what they do. I help clients find more than just band aid solutions. I believe in meeting people where they are at, so I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process! I am an lgbtq+ affirming therapist who is part of the community myself so I work well with clients in the lgbtq+ community, including trans clients and clients struggling with coming out. I also work well with those recovering from spiritual abuse and who might be experiencing some form of religious trauma. For those who have undergone spiritual abuse from high control religions, I help people deconstruct from unhelpful, fundamentalist beliefs as we explore the psychological and emotional impact of existing in high control religious environments. Lastly, I work well with clients facing issues related to gender dysphoria, covert narcissistic abuse, substance abuse, domestic abuse, family enmeshment, and self esteem.

Hello, I'm Beatriz, Do you ever feel like you second guess yourself a lot? Do you ever wonder when that started or where that comes from? Are you afraid that your choices will go against cultural traditions and family believes? Do you have trouble vocalizing your needs? I help individuals find their courage to start living the life that they really want for themselves. It's not easy, it takes practice, patience, and at times taking a little deeper look into our fears. Together we will explore fears, difficult emotions, relationships, we might even identify somethings that you may have been avoiding. Through motivational interviewing, we will explore what are your goals while in therapy. I use a strength based approach to start some action towards those goals. I start where you are and I will respect any decision you make along the way. Wether you are struggling through depression, anxiety, trauma, or want to overcome something to start a new adventure, this is a partnership. I am here to support you through the journey. Seeking therapy can feel scary at times, so I want to congratulate you for taking these steps. As a Latina, I know how hard it can be to not feel like you have a safe space to heal and grow. As a spoken word artist, I know the importance of telling your story. I will provide you with a space where there will be no judgement and a lot empathy. So, let's work together and start empowering your self love!

You wake up worried about the day ahead before you even get out of bed. At work, you're scared of making mistakes, it feels like everyone's waiting for you to mess up. When friends invite you out, you say “yes” but inside, you're nervous about going. At home, instead of relaxing, you keep thinking about awkward things you said or did, wondering what kind of impression you left on everyone. It feels like your brain won't turn off these thoughts that make you feel not good enough, and it's exhausting. These anxious thoughts are undercutting your confidence and affecting both your professional and personal relationships.

As a clinician, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise, lived experience, and a sense of humor that helps create a relatable and supportive therapeutic environment. I understand firsthand what it’s like to face mental health struggles because I’ve been there. My own journey has given me a deep empathy for the challenges my clients face and a passion for helping them navigate their own path to healing. I believe that healing is a deeply personalized journey that looks different for everyone. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to growth, and I honor that by offering a mix of hard work, compassion, and honesty in our sessions. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic approaches, I tailor our work together to meet your unique needs. I focus on treating the whole self—your body, thoughts, emotions, relationships, and creativity—because true healing often requires attention to every part of who you are. Whether we’re working on managing anxiety, building self-compassion, or navigating complex relationships, I strive to provide the tools and insights that will foster meaningful change and growth. Life is full of both pain and joy, and I want to help you be present for all of it. While the hard moments can feel overwhelming, they can also lead to transformation. Through a mix of exploration and actionable steps, I’ll guide you toward building a life that feels balanced, intentional, and fulfilling. And yes, we’ll likely laugh along the way. Therapy doesn’t have to be all serious, all the time. Sometimes a little humor is exactly what’s needed to bring lightness to the process of healing.

INDIVIDUALS will receive nonjudgmental empathetic listening as I accompany them through their path of healing. You do not have to walk this painful journey alone. I will be with you every step of the way. I make sure to give every member of the FAMILY a voice in the session because everyone's experience matters. I am a father myself and I understand well the struggles that a family can go through. Let me be a part of your family's journey as you get to a better place together. I coach COUPLES and help them get through their most difficult problems. For me, neither person in a relationship is the problem. Instead, the relationship is the problem. We can always work to improve the relationship and build a stronger emotional bond that will bring you closer as a couple.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Texas rather than a city like Dallas?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Texas from Houston to Austin! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Texas.

Will my therapist take EAP:UnitedHealthcare/Optum?

Yes! If you use EAP:UnitedHealthcare/Optum you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have EAP:UnitedHealthcare/Optum you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
