I have worked in diverse mental health settings and have been practicing therapy since 2015.
I am the oldest daughter of immigrants and a first generation college graduate. From a very young age I felt the weight of expectations put on to me by my family, society, and my culture. I became very good at taking on roles that were not mine, and quickly burned myself out. It wasn’t until graduate school that I really allowed myself to explore the root of my unhappiness. I needed to stop doing for everyone else and finally make myself the priority; I mattered too.
I now enjoy empowering individuals to find their voice and discover the freedom that comes with letting go of past hurt and behaviors that no longer serve them, and finally pursue the life they’ve always wanted.

Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards improving your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
Counseling can promote personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

As your counselor, I'm down-to-earth, honest, understanding, and warm. The counseling room is about discovering more of what you want for yourself. In counseling, I will create an environment for you to awaken to more of the life you have dreamed of. Although I use various therapeutic techniques, one of my favorites is emotionally focused therapy, which allows you the freedom to explore your emotions in a safe environment. No one wants to be controlled by their emotions. In counseling, I want you to have an experience which will lead to emotional healing and give you the freedom to better direct your thoughts and behaviors. I can help you become equipped to process and heal from your difficult emotional and behavioral patterns. Christian counseling is available for Christian clients. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR. I give clients weekly homework to help them achieve their goals in and out of the counseling session. Please call or message me, and I will schedule your first appointment.

I have 15 + years of accumulative training and experience in the fields of mental health, trauma, domestic violence, foster care and adoption. Some clients I see are experiencing short-term stressors while others are experiencing longer-term mental health disturbances. For individual therapy, I generally treat adults and adolescents ages 12 and older. For children younger than 12, or for adolescents otherwise not appropriate for telehealth, It may be recommended to address concerns in the form of family therapy. I use an integrated model that build upon a persons existing beliefs, strategies and virtues, and I work with individuals and families experiencing a wide array of presenting concerns.
I am a life long student of philosophy. I enjoy reading, writing, painting, drawing, sculpture and playing music. I find peace in the outdoors and camping, inspiration in community collaboration, and I am passionate about psychotherapy. It has been my great privilege to walk with people as they unlock the resources they need to stabilize and grow. I believe that community stigma around mental health is reduced as individuals call on the courage to seek help.

Hello, I am Dr. Walter Calvo and I have two questions for you.
Are you interested in learning why you think and feel the way you do?
How about learning why you choose to do the things that you do?
I can help you learn coping skills to address common life challenges such as adjusting to change, managing conflict, reducing stress, improving relationships, and coping with grief. Equally important, I can help you process your emotional responses to distressing life circumstances.
I also provide psychotherapy to address acute trauma, post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression. My experience in this area comes from working with active-duty military, veterans, and first responders such as law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical responders and their families.
Gaining insight into why you think and feel the way you do is empowering. It will put you on a path to becoming the best version of yourself.
If you are interested in any of that, let's talk!

I am a caring, straightforward, non-judgmental therapist with keen, active listening skills and precision in finding root causes. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs for progress.

Welcome! I am Licensed Professional counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience and hope. With a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, I bring both expertise and warmth to my practice.
My journey into counseling was shaped by my commitment to empowering those at risk. I completed my practicum and internship in an Intensive Outpatient /Partial Hospitalization (IOP/PHP) treatment center, where I worked with individuals facing significant mental health challenges. That experience taught me the value of meeting people where they are and supporting them in finding their inner strength.
I specialize in trauma-informed care, and individualized treatment planning. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with a personalized touch, always aiming to make therapy a safe, collaborative, and even uplifting experience.
Beyond my professional credentials, I’m someone who believes in the healing power of humor and the magic of connection. When I’m not in session, you might find me diving into a good book, exploring creative pursuits, or advocating for mental health awareness in the community.
If you’re looking for a therapist who brings both professional expertise and a friendly, down-to-earth vibe, you’ve found the right person. Let’s work together to bring balance, healing, and a little bit of laughter back into your life!

Hola! My name is Camilo Avila, I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Texas with over 7 years of experience. I received my Masters from Texas A&M University - San Antonio. We all love a good underdog story! Why though? Because we are relating to those low points in our lives where we were the "underdog" and to see them overcoming their struggles and challenges gives us hope and inspiration! I love working with people who are ready to make a positive change in their lives! There's nothing more exciting than personal transformation through determined, positive change! See you soon!
Hola! Yo soy Camilo Avila, soy un consejero bilingue (LPC, Texas) y tengo mas de 7 años de experiencia! Obtuve mi maestria de Texas A&M University - San Antonio. Una preguna, porque nos gustan ver peliculas donde vemos que el candidato a perder sale ganando? Una de las razones es porque nos inspira esperanza, en mi opinion, todos nos podemos identificar con "el candidato a perder" de vez en cuando. En la vida hay veces que todo sale bien y nos va bien en todo, pero hay veces que sentimos todo lo contrario. Puede ser en nuestro trabajo, familia, a nivel personal, en nuestro matrimonio, con los hijos/hijas etc. Para esto y mas te sirve la psicoterapia! Reserva tu consulta gratis conmigo hoy, platicamos pronto, cuidate!

Do you ever feel anxious or on edge? How about shortness of breath or a racing heartbeat? Or have you experienced a loss of interest in activities you used to love doing, helplessness, or feelings of emptiness?
I help individuals manage anxiety and trauma symptoms. Together we can identify what is working and what is not to help get you back on track. We'll use a whole self approach meaning addressing the needs of your body and mind. I also integrate mindful techniques to regulate emotions.
Seeking therapy can feel scary, but I am proud of you for making this brave decision. I will be able to provide a safe space for you to discuss any and everything without judgment. I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you observe the source of pain and begin to heal. Let's work together!
