Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Kerrville, TX

I consider the power of connection to ourselves and others a key component to fulfillment and stability in life. As humans, we just aren’t designed to go through challenges alone.

So whether you want to overcome anxiety or depression, are struggling with trauma from the past, or dealing with relationship issues, seeking therapy is a courageous decision to create a secure and supportive space to explore what’s going on in your heart and head and begin healing.

I’m a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and Nurse Educator with more than 22 years of experience in nursing—including end-of-life care, wellness, and mental health.

My approach is holistic and person-centered. I believe healing happens when we care for the body, mind, and soul together. Whether that includes faith-based principles, mindfulness, or evidence-based clinical care, I meet each client where they are and support their unique path to healing.

While my practice is Christ-centered in philosophy, it is open and inclusive to people of all backgrounds and beliefs. My focus is on helping each individual find peace, clarity, and wholeness by addressing the deeper roots of emotional and physical distress.

I see my role as a partner in your journey—helping you reconnect with yourself, understand your needs, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life from the inside out.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology and over a decade of experience working with adults in medical and mental health settings. I currently practice in both a hospital-based Consultation-Liaison Psychology service and private practice, where I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, health challenges, trauma, and major life transitions.

I have particular experience working with healthcare professionals, first responders, pilots and aviation professionals, and other high-achieving individuals who often carry significant responsibilities while struggling privately. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice, while also recognizing that meaningful change often comes from understanding the deeper patterns, relationships, and experiences that shape our lives.

I also have a special interest in supporting individuals on weight loss and health-improvement journeys, including those using GLP-1 medications such as Zepbound, Wegovy, or Ozempic. Significant weight loss can bring unexpected emotional, relational, and identity-related challenges, and I enjoy helping clients navigate both the psychological and practical aspects of creating sustainable change.

Whether you are seeking relief from a current struggle, greater self-understanding, or support during a difficult season of life, I strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to move forward.

Experienced in providing care, interventions designed to promote mental and physical health. Empathetic, culturally competent and results oriented.

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.
