Throughout life's journey, all of us face difficult challenges as well as times of reflection and growth. I have a passion for helping others through difficult times and love working with clients helping to facilitate insight and healing in their personal journey. In 2017, I opened Ponderado M Counseling Services, LLC on a ranch in La Grange, Texas. The counseling office is nestled around animals and the outdoors as they are used to create a unique therapeutic environment and opportunity for the client outside the traditional office setting.
I am a clinician dedicated to helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. My approach is practical, compassionate, and grounded in meeting people exactly where they are. I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, substance use challenges, and the emotional weight of family or relationship stress.
In our work together, my goal is to create a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment and learn skills that genuinely support your day-to-day life. I focus on building trust, understanding the full picture of each person’s strengths and struggles, and helping clients make meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for them.
Beyond therapy, I mentor developing clinicians and support wellness programs, which keeps me connected to both the clinical and community sides of mental health. I believe in whole-person care, collaboration, and helping every client recognize that they are worthy of stability, growth, and peace.
I am passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. My approach is to create an authentic and individual relationship with my clients so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and hopes without judgment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Odessa, TX
Searching for therapists in Odessa starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy in Odessa, TX for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists and counselors in Odessa, review each person’s listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with concerns like yours. Some therapists may use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, while others focus on couples counseling, marriage counseling, or grief counseling.
In a smaller city like Odessa, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets, so virtual therapy can help expand your choices. Some people prefer meeting in person near work, school, or home, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, look at whether a therapist is accepting new clients, how soon they have availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they describe their approach, communication style, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Odessa can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make mental health care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
