Great to meet you!

Hi! Im Monica Gutierrez, Licensed Professional Counselor from TX at Cielito Counseling and Wellness PLLC. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed counseling for women navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationships, motherhood, and other challenges. I offer a warm, culturally responsive space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward. My approach is collaborative and personalized to your unique experiences, values, and goals. Soy bilingue!

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe you know yourself and your experiences best, so therapy is a space where we work together to better understand what you’re going through and identify meaningful ways to move forward. I integrate evidence-based approaches while tailoring therapy to your individual needs, goals, culture, and lived experiences.

I have a particular interest in supporting women navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, motherhood and perinatal mental health, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I also enjoy working with young adults and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being your authentic self and without judgment.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. We’ll explore your current concerns, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you hope to gain from counseling. I’ll also share more about how I work and answer any questions you may have.

You can expect a supportive, judgment-free environment where you don’t have to have everything figured out. Together, we’ll identify a few initial goals and begin developing a plan that feels realistic and meaningful for you. My goal is for you to leave your first session feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of where we can go from there.
