Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Cleburne, TX covered by Cigna

Hi, I’m Manuela Aguilar, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I help people navigating trauma, anxiety, and painful life experiences that can feel too heavy to carry alone. Many of my clients are healing from domestic violence, sexual assault, or other deeply distressing events and want a safe place to start feeling like themselves again.

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.

I help people move from overwhelmed and exhausted to capable and confident. Whether you’re struggling with routines, boundaries, relationships or feeling stuck about your next steps, I offer compassionate, practical support tailored to your life. Together we’ll build sustainable strategies, strengthen relationships and restore a sense of ease so you can enjoy life more fully.

I think counseling helps clarify life's challenges and opens the door to change. My mission is to partner with you as you navigate through personal or family issues. I balance several roles as a therapist, educator, advocate, mother, wife, and Christian. I aim to practice wisdom, accountability, and kindness daily. Seeing life through possibility motivates me, and I'm eager to help you achieve your aspirations.

I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Board-Certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I approach every patient with respect, empathy, and a focus on safety. My clinical decisions are grounded in current research, best practices, and your individual needs.

I believe in a collaborative and transparent treatment process. I value open communication. I want you to feel comfortable discussing your symptoms, concerns, and goals so we can work together to create a plan that truly supports your mental health.

I bring nine years of experience working in the mental health field, supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges with compassion and care. My approach is warm, welcoming, and rooted in creating a safe space where people feel heard and respected. I believe in meeting people where they are and helping them build on their strengths. I strive to help others feel supported, empowered, and hopeful as they move forward.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I want you to know you do not have to navigate it alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, stress, and other mental health concerns. My approach is collaborative and personalized, with a focus on listening well, building trust, and creating a treatment plan that supports your overall well-being. My hope is that every client feels respected, encouraged, and empowered on their journey toward healing.

I’m a bilingual therapist working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Many of the people I support feel overwhelmed by overthinking, internal pressure, difficulty managing stress, and the uncertainty of what comes next.

In our work together, I focus on helping you make sense of what’s happening internally and develop practical ways to respond to stress and emotions. I integrate cognitive, somatic, and neuroscience-informed approaches to support both emotional and nervous system regulation.

I believe therapy should feel human. It can be structured but still fit your individual needs. I offer a space where you can show up as you are, while also doing meaningful work that leads to real shifts in how you experience and respond to life.
