Hi, I’m Nancy Cortez, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I earned my M.Ed. in Counseling and Guidance from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and have been passionate about helping people grow and heal ever since. I’m excited to be here and look forward to working together in a space that feels safe, supportive, and encouraging. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered every step of the way.
Life can feel heavy at times, and reaching out for support is a brave and meaningful first step. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You may be carrying stress, self-doubt, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or a general sense that something in your life no longer feels aligned. I offer a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, strengthen self-compassion, and begin creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy with me is a partnership. Together, we will explore what you are facing, identify your strengths, and build practical tools to help you move through life with more clarity, confidence, and hope. Vamos a caminar adelante con amor — we will move forward with love.
Some experiences change the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.
Whether you're grieving a loss, recovering from trauma, navigating a mental health challenge, or trying to regain your footing after a difficult season of life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by emotions that seem impossible to untangle on your own.
I'm Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, PTSD, and major life challenges. Through my experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as crisis intervention work, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. One thing I've learned is that healing rarely happens all at once—it happens one step, one conversation, and one breakthrough at a time.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports individuals through life transitions, everyday stress, and other emotional challenges. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and cared for. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and person-centered, and I aim to help clients build practical tools they can use in daily life as they move toward healing and growth.
My professional background includes experience in psychiatry, mental health and substance use treatment, behavioral health, child and family services, and healthcare settings. These experiences have shaped my commitment to meeting each client with empathy, respect, and support tailored to their unique needs.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in providing therapeutic services to adults (18+) in individual, group, and couples formats. My foundational background with mental health services comes from my experience working in inpatient psychiatric settings with severe mental disorders and substance use/addiction. I am also fluently bilingual in Spanish.
My therapy style is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I integrate evidence-based approaches with curiosity and flexibility, tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs and goals. I value authenticity, practical tools, and meaningful insight to support lasting change.
Hey there! I'm Amanda, and I'm so glad you're here. If anxiety has been stealing your peace, your mind won't stop racing, or you're feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, you don't have to figure it all out on your own. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (M.Ed., LPC), I help teens and adults learn practical tools to manage anxiety, quiet unhelpful thoughts, and build a life that feels calmer and more fulfilling. Outside of the therapy office, I'm a wife, mom, follower of Jesus, avid traveler, and an enthusiastic (but still learning!) home chef. I believe the best therapy happens when you feel comfortable enough to simply be yourself.
After earning my Master's in Counseling from the University of Houston, I gained experience working in both schools and private practice, supporting individuals through anxiety, stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I especially enjoy helping people recognize the thought patterns that keep them feeling stuck and replace them with healthier, more empowering ways of thinking. For clients who desire it, I'm also honored to integrate Christian faith and biblical principles into our work together.
Double board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in depression, ADHD, women’s mental health concerns, and the unique pressures faced by high-functioning professionals and students. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and nonjudgmental.
If you've spent your life providing, surviving, and holding things together for everyone else, therapy can feel like one more thing to manage. I work with men and working people who are tired of feeling anxious, isolated, or stuck, and who want to feel like themselves again. As a bilingual therapist raised in San Antonio, I understand the pressures of low wages, generational trauma, and the expectation to keep pushing no matter what. Whether you're navigating relationships, identity, or stress that never fully turns off, you don't have to figure it out alone.
