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 bilingual Latina, I live and work in far west Texas. My professional path has led me through three major cities: Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso. Initially, my work focus was with children and teens within the criminal justice system and Child Protective Services. After moving across the state, I expanded my work to include autism spectrum disorders, asthma, and chronic illnesses in children by supporting parents and caregivers as a case manager and disease management educator. Later, I transitioned to providing psychotherapy with adults and children at a community behavioral health clinic in San Antonio. After a break to start and raise my family, I decided to return to psychotherapy. Assisting others in discovering hope amidst challenges and adversity is profoundly impactful. Observing change and growth in individuals over time brings me joy.

After spending almost 10 years in the classroom, I recognized I wanted help in a different way.

Encorporating various techniques such as mindfulness, journaling, art, and role play provide you the opportunity to find the right fit to help you set measurable and attainable goals to realize the change you want.

The persistent financial, social, and inter- and intrapersonal adversity I experienced coming from a low socioeconomic status single parent home could have defined me were it not for hope, discipline, education, luck, and my hobbies. Instead, I am a Mexican-American English/Spanish speaking Licensed Professional Counselor practicing since 2017. I was inspired to work in this field due to many hardships growing up. Though difficult to overcome, such significant obstacles ignited my curiosity for understanding the human condition and improving upon it when and where possible, a lifelong pursuit which still guides me personally and professionally. Me llamo Omar Sandoval y soy un consejero acreditado bilingue ejerciendo desde el 2017 de descendencia Mexicana. Por que me crie pobre, desde joven aprendi la importancia de el aprendizaje, luchando y chambeando, y la sinceridad interna y externamente. Tambien aprendi que la vida no es nada facil y, para sobrevivir y sobresalir, hay que hacerse duro y valiente. Solo fue asi que aprendi no temerle a las problemas ni a los crisis ya que en esta vida hay muchos y tambien aprendi como comunicar esta capacidad para superar los obstaculos interna y externamente en mi vida personal y en mi profesion.

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 Surest (formerly Bind)?

Yes! If you use Surest (formerly Bind) you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Surest (formerly Bind) 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.
