Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Ileana Abreu, a bilingual therapist and life coach passionate about helping first-generation individuals, parents, entrepreneurs, and cycle-breakers heal, grow, and create more fulfilling lives. I earned my Master’s in Counseling and Development from Lamar University and specialize in trauma-informed care, emotional abuse recovery, anxiety, depression, and confidence building. My practice is a place where your story, culture, and dreams are seen, valued, and honored.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I take a warm, collaborative, and creative approach to therapy, blending evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, parts work, and somatic techniques with real-life coaching strategies. Every session is personalized to meet you where you are, helping you process the past while building practical skills for the future. Our work is guided by authenticity, compassion, and the belief that healing happens when you feel truly supported and understood.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect to gain deeper understanding of yourself, practical tools you can use in everyday life, and a growing sense of confidence and clarity. I create a space where you can be real — no judgment, just steady support as you work toward the life and relationships you want. We'll celebrate your wins, navigate the hard moments, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
