Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Abilene, TX

I offer a deeply compassionate and grounded approach rooted in real-life understanding. I don’t just talk about trauma—I understand it. My insight into emotional neglect and parentification isn’t theoretical; it’s lived. This allows me to hold space for clients with warmth, attunement, and a level of empathy that can’t be faked.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, empathetic, and a genuinely active listener. I bring authenticity and warmth into the therapy room—along with a healthy sprinkle of humor.

I have a master's degree in mental health counseling and have been working with the court systems for the last 9 years leading groups as well as individual/couple sessions.

Hi, I'm Katrina. Authentic human connection is my passion. As a psychotherapist with a decade of experience, I’m committed to providing compassionate and evidenced-based mental health care with the unique needs of women and moms in mind. I specialize in anxiety, depression, caregiver stress and burnout, challenges of parenting neurodiverse children, life transitions, chronic conditions, and overwhelm with the mental load of motherhood.

To say "things aren't always easy" is often an understatement. Sometimes things are more than hard, and may have been piling up for a while. Whether you're battling depression, anxiety, grief, or changes in life, I'm here to help. I've worked with children, teens and adults in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, where they work to sort out their struggles. I have seen the damage trauma can do to relationships, but have also seen the power in connecting with others.

I understand that beginning therapy can seem intimidating and quite overwhelming, and many times, the toughest part of the experience is taking that first step. Still, you have made it here, and you are commencing your important journey to heal and rebuild yourself. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet with you and learn the best ways I can be of service. My practice style is very warm, caring, and collaborative.

Bienvenidos! Welcome to My Practice

First off, I want to take a moment to thank you for prioritizing yourself today—it’s not always easy!

My name is Daniela, a bilingual (Spanish) clinical social worker. When not working, you’ll find me enjoying quality time with my loved ones, or sneaking the occasional nap.

I firsthand understand how culture shock, trauma, and grief can deeply affect lives. That’s why I dedicated my career to helping others navigate these challenges with support and compassion.

Taking the first step toward change isn’t easy—but you’ve already done it by starting your search for a therapist.

Now, I invite you to take the next step and schedule your first appointment. Whether that’s with me or another provider, what matters most is that you commit to investing in yourself.

You deserve support, healing, and a space where you can grow. If you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you. My focus is on helping individuals clarify their vision for the future while building on their existing strengths to foster growth, resilience, and lasting change. I take a motivational and strengths-based approach to counseling, offering encouragement and support as you navigate your path through life’s challenges.
