Eva Macaluso

I have a Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Baylor University and a Masters in Education with a focus in Professional Counseling from Lamar University. I have spent 16+ years working in the public sector as a registered nurse, nurse instructor, and counselor. My primary treatment areas include but are in no way limited to: trauma, anxiety, grief, health conditions, and women's health issues.

My path to becoming an LPC began as an RN, where I developed a passion for helping others heal. Over time, I felt called to expand beyond physical health and explore new ways to support whole-person wellness.

I don't believe there is such a thing as an ideal client. I know firsthand the importance of having a safe and non-judgmental space to process through thoughts and feelings openly.

My own experiences and challenges have shaped every facet of who I am and how I approach counseling - from living through and learning to cope with the impacts of traumatic grief and loss, to parenting a transgender and neurodiverse child, and managing life with a chronic health condition, I know that being human is often complicated and difficult and I want to create more avenues to walk with people through their own struggles, growth, and healing.

I am far more likely to say "What's up? How you doing today?" than I am to ask you how something makes you feel. I believe that healing with therapy can and should be profound and profoundly meaningful, but my approach is to achieve that while being an easy-going provider. I aim to normalize the fact that we are all human. I am not the expert in your life or your experiences and I am not here to tell you there is only one right way to navigate the path to healing and well-being.

I am a forever learner always working to grow the ways I can help people, but I believe strongly that therapy itself should be a relaxed space where you feel safe, seen, and supported but never judged.

I don't believe in wasting your time or money, so we will work together to develop your treatment goals and work to determine the therapeutic approaches that will get you the help and healing you need in order to achieve them.

I want everyone I work with to leave therapy achieving a state of being that is greater than when they started. I am so humbled and honored to have the opportunity to be present and to help.

I want to empower you as you embark on your unique journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing.

With both my personal and professional background, I bring a unique understanding and empathy to my counseling practice. I view mental health through a holistic and inclusive lens, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical and emotional well-being. I see myself as not just a counselor, but a guide and companion on your journey.

When we begin, I’ll take time to learn your story, goals, and what feels most important to you. I don’t see myself as the expert—you are the expert of your own life and experiences. My role is to be a guide and support, helping you find healing in ways that feel right for you. Progress often looks like greater self-understanding, resilience, and ease in navigating challenges. I work best with clients who value authenticity and appreciate a space that is supportive, collaborative, and non-directive rather than prescriptive.
