Diana Huaroto

Maybe you're exhausted from lying awake with thoughts that won't settle, only to wake up already worried about the day ahead. Anxiety can make small decisions feel overwhelming, depression can take the joy out of familiar routines, and anger may show up when you've been carrying too much for too long. If you've lived through something painful, trauma or PTSD can leave you feeling on edge even when you want to relax. I'm Diana Huaroto, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and I support adults and seniors working through anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, anger management, and PTSD. Stress, grief, past trauma, and LGBTQIA+ concerns may also shape what you're navigating. You deserve a place where you can talk about the full picture without being judged or rushed. Together, we'll make sense of what is happening and find ways to feel more rested, grounded, and in control of your days.

I bring empathy, a holistic perspective, and a focus on practical solutions to our sessions. Rather than assuming I know what you need, I'll listen to how anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, anger, or PTSD are affecting your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help us notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that leave you feeling stuck. With Motivational Interviewing, we'll explore what change means to you without pressure. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) can help you examine beliefs connected to traumatic experiences, while Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma Focused CBT offer ways to work through distressing memories and responses. We'll move thoughtfully, balancing emotional understanding with manageable steps you can try between sessions. Your experiences and goals will guide the work, and we'll adjust together as we learn what helps.

You don't need to come to our first meeting with everything figured out. We'll start with what's been hardest lately, what your days and nights have been like, and what you wish could feel different. I'll ask questions, listen carefully, and help us choose goals that matter to you. That might mean getting more restful sleep, finding ways to respond to anger, easing anxious thoughts, or feeling less overwhelmed by painful memories. We won't rush into difficult experiences before you've had room to build trust and discuss what feels comfortable. As we go, we'll notice what's helping and make adjustments together. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling heard, better equipped to care for yourself, and more hopeful about the days ahead.
