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!

If you’re feeling stuck in painful patterns—overwhelmed by self-doubt, emotional overload, or strained relationships—I offer a way forward. Together, we will break the cycle by identifying core negative beliefs, healing the impacts of abuse and manipulation, and creating lasting change. Using EMDR, somatic therapy, and mindfulness, I’ll help you rewire the old scripts keeping you trapped—turning “I’m not enough” into “I am worthy and capable.” You’ll learn how to release stress and tension stored in your body, develop emotional resilience, and step into a more grounded, confident version of yourself. This process isn’t just about healing wounds; it’s about reclaiming your power, rewriting your story, and living with clarity and connection. You won’t walk this path alone. Through our work, you’ll experience deep support, a space where you are truly seen and heard, and the tools to navigate life with greater ease. You’ll gain not just relief from emotional pain, but the freedom to live a life that aligns with who you truly are—unapologetically and with confidence. Transformation is possible. The weight of the past doesn’t have to define you. Let’s take this journey together.

Hey there! Are you feeling a little overwhelmed lately? You’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been juggling a million things, second-guessing yourself, or trying to keep everyone else happy while quietly burning out. If that sounds familiar, I see you and I’d love to help. I work with millennials, professionals and creatives who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start feeling more connected, calm, and confident in their own skin. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, going through a big life transition, struggling with boundaries, or just feeling “off,” we’ll work together to make sense of it and create space for something new. In our sessions, you can expect compassion, curiosity, and maybe even a little humor when it fits. I use an integrative approach rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, but I also bring creativity and flexibility into the process because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are you. This is your space to breathe, reflect, and grow. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up and we’ll take it from there, together.

Dealing with life struggles can be overwhelming and at times it can be exhausting.

Having the necessary and proper tools to work through those issues are essential to better one's life. By providing you with a compassionate and nonjudgmental space, I can help you feel safe and provide the support you need as you explore your inner self and work toward healing and growth. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy models to help individuals change the view of their struggles to obtain favorable changes. Changing your thought process can help you realize and understand you have power in your hands to make great changes and in turn obtain more desirable results.

Imagine life is like a journey completely in your control but you feel stuck. Choices you make dictate life’s obstacles and they can be tricky. Life’s journey comes with no instruction pamphlet or ready-made companions. A path unfolds and you decide what to do and who to trust along the way. As you journey you begin to see things you want, potential companions, places you want to explore, and tools you can use to make travels simpler. There are so many choices to make with no time to stop and contemplate the best decision; you have to keep going by making choices every day, about everything. Decisions and deadlines do not wait. Consequences of decisions do not wait for preparations of readiness. Age does not determine how hard life can be nor deter reality. Whether you are age 5 or 95, you have to wake up daily and continue life’s journey, but it is not always an easy task. My theoretical orientation is Person-Centered Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. Let me be your Phoenix! I believe life’s tools are inside of us, self-actualization, self-trust, coping strategies, and the willingness to grow. We simply must explore them. At Rapunzel's Phoenix Counseling Services, I help toddlers, children, adolescents, adults, families, and the LGBTQIAPK community. Online Counseling Services are available upon request.

Do you fear your relationship with your partner is losing its spark? Maybe you fear you’re losing them or that you’re not loveable, or maybe that you’re not good enough. Getting to the root cause of this can be scary, yet extremely beneficial. Whether its trauma from childhood or an experience as an adult, or perhaps from something you may not remember, our life experiences influence our current wellness and how we interact with others. At times, it can seem as if we’re all alone and that no one understands us. But when you come to therapy, you’ll have a safe space to heal and grow. I look forward to hearing from you to see how I could help you as a person, or the both of you as a couple. So if you’ve read this far, why not click and schedule? Hablo muy bien español.

Hello! My name is Cristina and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. I currently offer in-person and online counseling sessions all over Texas. You can complete a session from your own home or in a comfortable office setting, whatever works for you! I specialize in working with individuals with depression, anxiety, women issues, as well as other mental health issues. My approach to therapy is to listen to you and work together as a team. I am not here to tell you what to do but to help you achieve your goals. This is a judgment-free zone. It can be scary to start therapy! The hardest part is to reach out, but you are a step closer by looking into your options.

I am a counselor who walks beside my clients as an observer and reflector. I help people peel through the layers of their individual stories so that they may gain clarity on how and why they are in their current state. Once we determine the how and why we move into the present to determine what can be done to improve their current state and move them towards the places they want to be. I do not have all of the answers, but I am determined to dig with my clients to uncover their own individual keys to unlock their goals and potential.

HELLO, finding a fitting therapist is a big part of your success in therapy, so if it does not initially work out, remember you can keep looking for a suitable option. AS FOR ME, I am a Texas State University graduate and I have experience in multiple settings including schools, hospitals, inpatient facilities, LMHA, and group private practices. This has allowed me to work with diverse humans and engage many different therapeutic styles. I have a passion for creating space for my community of BIPOC, ADHD, parents, and LGBTQIA. I support adolescents and adults. OUTSIDE THE OFFICE, I spend a lot of time in nature as this is a healing place for me that I like to encourage others to consider as a therapeutic tool. My immediate family consists of my Wife, 2 kiddos, and lots of pets. We spend time together hiking/exploring nature, joining city-wide events, finding new parks to play and walk the dogs, and cooking new recipes. REACH OUT if you find yourself aligning with my style, I look forward to supporting and growing with you!
