Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Grand Prairie, TX

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience supporting clients of all ages. I use professional and personal knowledge and experience including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy. I care deeply about what I do and want you to leave feeling heard, understood, and supported. I love supporting women as they work through challenges, especially in the context of parenting. I also enjoy working with adults managing transitions, self-growth, anxiety, boundary setting, inner-critics, relationships.

I help high-achieving girls and women who struggle with self-esteem and body image challenges. Many of my clients are “Type-A” personalities, excelling in school, careers, or competitive environments but feel trapped by an inner critic, fear of judgement, and a constant drive for control.

Hi! I’m Griselda Ruvalcaba, a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor; I bring nearly two decades of experience working with children and families, including over 15 years as a bilingual elementary school educator and several years as a school counselor in Plano ISD.

I specialize in working with children through Play Therapy, providing a warm, safe, and welcoming space where kids can express themselves, build confidence, and develop emotional regulation skills. My approach is child-centered, and I believe that every child has the capacity to grow when given the tools and support to navigate their inner world.

In my role as a school counselor, I’ve led individual sessions, group work, and classroom guidance lessons focused on emotional awareness, anxiety, grief, and building coping skills. I work closely with caregivers, teachers, and school staff to support each child holistically—academically, socially, and emotionally.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I completed my Master of Social Work in 1995 through the University of Texas at Arlington and am also a graduate of Texas Tech University where I completed my Bachelor of Human Development and Family Studies. I have over 30 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults with IDD.
