MARIA ORNELAS

In 2016, I graduated with a Master of Science in School Counseling from TAMIU and successfully completed 3000 hours of clinical work to be a License Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, couples, & court mandated clients with childhood adversities, sexual abuse, insecure attachment, ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, alcohol and substance abuse disorders.

Do you find yourself falling into the same unhealthy, unstable patterns- relationships, working too much, health - but don't seem to be able to stop this? Do you ever feel distress, pain, sorrow, and hopeless like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Do you ever feel like you are trapped in a storm of constant emotions and sensations and everything you try to do to relieve it works against you and make you feel stuck. You are not alone!

I understand that committing to therapy takes courage. I want to challenge and dare you 2B curious about "YOU" and allow me to guide and be a part of your journey of self-discovery and healing. I work in person and online, which gives me flexibility and availability. You are welcome to book an initial online video meeting so we can speak and see if the way that I work suits you and whether our schedules match.
