Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Brownsville, TX

Starting therapy can often make people feel nervous and unsure about what to expect. I understand how hard it is to trust a stranger with such personal thoughts and feelings. I have been working to help others create a safe and productive space to share and grow since 2013.

What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.

I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults of all ages and families. I am bilingual so I offer therapy in english and spanish.

It can be exhausting when the thoughts & physical sensations are loud. I help clients slow things down & find the practices that work best for you & your life. If all you know is that you want things to be different, I can help you find your path to get there.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. I strive to create a comfortable and grounded space where clients can be themselves and move at their own pace. I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and substance use concerns. I bring warmth, care, and authenticity into the work we do together.

Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in trauma. I have spent most of my professional time working with children and adolescents so I know the vast childhood experiences anyone coming into therapy may bring.

I find it an immense privilege to be a trauma therapist and work with my clients on the hardest topics they may have experienced. I want you to find safety in our relationship to explore what has happened to you and who you want to become from that experience. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence -based treatment for trauma and love bringing in creative ways for my clients to experience the healing that can come through EMDR. I want you to feel that each hour we bring is your own and your goals for therapy are always at the forefront of my mind and work.

When I am not working as a therapist, I enjoy a variety of creative activities including cooking, baking, and crochet. I also love spending time outdoors or swimming to recharge and reset myself for my next day of therapy.

Spanish-speaking kids and teens often can't find a therapist who speaks their language — literally or culturally. Jodie is bilingual in English and Spanish and bicultural, and she works specifically with children and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, family stress, relationship challenges, and the pressures of growing up. Her background in both alternative and traditional school settings means she understands what teens are actually dealing with week to week, not just what they bring into a therapy room.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. My professional experience has allowed me to work with children, teens, and young adults facing a variety of challenges, and these experiences have shaped my compassionate, client-centered approach. Supporting children and their families is a special passion of mine, and I enjoy helping young people build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and navigate life's challenges.

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, life transitions, chronic medical conditions, and substance use.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and earned my master's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to grow, heal, and create meaningful change.
