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’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience, dedicated to helping individuals find balance, clarity, and confidence in their lives. I primarily work with women who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in cycles that no longer serve them—whether in relationships, career, or how they view themselves. Many of my clients are navigating the emotional impact of life transitions like menopause, body changes, and weight management, often in silence and without support.
As a trilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (Portuguese, Spanish, English), I offer a compassionate and culturally sensitive space. I understand how culture, language, and generational expectations can shape the way we experience mental health, body image, and self-worth.
I have over 30 years of experience in diverse fields of mental health. I love what I do and have a true passion to help people.
Education and areas of previous work:
MS from East Texas University 9 TX A&M
Post :Doctoral Program for Marriage and Family therapy
Co author/researcher for DSM IV family assessment training book to help resolve family concerns especially in the interest of the child
I have a variety of experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy to a range of clients from young children to adults. Having worked in environments including the school system, outpatient facilities and private practice, I have a solid understanding of how to collaborate with clients to identify their needs and provide appropriate support or connect to the right community resources. Throughout my career, I have gained experience with navigating conflict resolution, addressing general DSM-5 diagnosis’, and helping clients increase emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
