My name is Aleida, welcome to my profile. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes a lot of courage. I want to be the first to commend you for taking this step as I know it is not an easy one. I look forward to getting to know you and forming a strong therapeutic alliance. A little about me, I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (State of Texas). I am also a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor-Intern, and a Certified Anger Resolution Therapist. I have 9 years of professional experience in mental health, and 20 years overall in medical and mental health case management, training, and education. I have ample experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, addictions, trauma, abuse, and anger management among many other mental health issues and disorders. I am very empathetic and my top priority is to create an open and safe environment where my clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. I consider myself to be very approachable and easy to talk to, and in my professional interaction display cultural awareness, competence and humility with each and every one of my clients. I recognize and acknowledge my clients as unique individuals, with diverse backgrounds, who may not share commonalities with me. I am always open to learn about my clients background, and by no means will appear to be the expert in their life experience. I want to have my clients feel welcomed and supported through their diverse life stressors. I do not take a cookie-cutter approach to therapy, but instead, focus on my client as an individual, and tailor a therapeutic intervention that will best help my client in feeling supported and heard, while working on achieving their therapeutic goals.

Hello everyone! Life can throw us curveballs, right? Sometimes we can pinpoint what's causing our stress or sadness, but other times, we feel lost and can't seem to understand what's bothering us. Sounds familiar? That's okay! That's where I come in as a counselor. My goal is to create a warm, open space where you can explore your feelings and thoughts without fear of judgment. It's totally normal to feel a bit nervous about seeking help – after all, it's not every day that we open up about our deepest fears or worries. But remember, you're not alone in this journey. You are the master of your own life, but I'm here to help you sift through the clutter and figure out what goals you want to chase and the best way to get there. Together, we'll focus on the solutions, not just the problems. My special interest is in helping people who are struggling with depression and anxiety. My aim is to help ease the symptoms, but more importantly, to help you build a solid foundation so you can face life's challenges head-on. The goal of our sessions? To nurture positive change, reduce feelings like anxiety, anger, guilt, and shame, and ultimately help you navigate life with more clarity, peace, and well-being.

As a counselor, I strive to build relationships where my clients feel connected and fully accepted in a safe and compassionate environment. I enjoy working from a collaborative, strengths-based approach; assisting and supporting my clients to be change agent of their own lives. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, self-esteem, trauma, and issues relating to race, culture, gender and religion. In working alongside my clients, I utilize interventions to facilitate my client’s discovery of their own strengths, resilience, and power as they heal.

I focus on supporting working professionals and college students who are struggling in their careers, education, or relationships due to anxiety or depression.

You do not have to struggle with your thoughts and emotions in silence. A peaceful life is possible no matter what the surrounding circumstances are. We are mostly troubled by our perceptions of the situations around us, not by the situations themselves. Sometimes, our thoughts are the scary part of our story, not our reality. And even when reality gets harsh, our thoughts and the way we see this reality will determine how we feel about it and how much we suffer. I am an LPC who practices mostly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I share the tools that are not only evidence-based and supported by extensive research but also that I've seen work with me and my clients/patients. Working on our thoughts and behaviors will affect every aspect of our lives, and relationships. We do not have to be a hostage to our unhelpful thoughts, we have tools to work on that. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and relationship troubles are only some of many examples where this kind of therapy can help, and I would like to be that therapist who can help you achieve that change in your life.
