LGBT therapists in Mansfield, TX

Who am I? What do I want? And how do I move forward from here? These are the questions that bring many people to therapy—and the questions I’m passionate about exploring. I’m Ron Saenz, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Houston. My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through both insight and embodied experience. I draw from neuroscience, somatic awareness, and the wisdom of practices like meditation, yoga, martial arts, and flow states to help clients reconnect with themselves in deeper, more meaningful ways.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. I've been practicing for 15 years, and my main focus is to help alleviate your pain, whether it be from depression, anxiety, trauma, or dissociation. I've excelled myself in and places great value on serving clients from diverse racial, gender, and sexual backgrounds. I am Deaf and fluent in American Sign Language.

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.

Hi, I’m Macheda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next. Many of my clients are used to being strong for others but privately feel stretched thin, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to keep carrying everything they’ve been holding. Therapy can be a space to pause, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.

Through my experience in healthcare and individual settings, I’ve supported people and families during some of life’s most challenging and vulnerable moments. As an immigrant, I also understand how culture, identity, family expectations, and lived experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate change. I recognize that emotional struggles do not happen in isolation, and I take care to understand the full context of your experiences rather than focusing only on symptoms.
