Hi! I’m Griselda Ruvalcaba, a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor; I bring nearly two decades of experience working with children and families, including over 15 years as a bilingual elementary school educator and several years as a school counselor in Plano ISD.

I specialize in working with children through Play Therapy, providing a warm, safe, and welcoming space where kids can express themselves, build confidence, and develop emotional regulation skills. My approach is child-centered, and I believe that every child has the capacity to grow when given the tools and support to navigate their inner world.

In my role as a school counselor, I’ve led individual sessions, group work, and classroom guidance lessons focused on emotional awareness, anxiety, grief, and building coping skills. I work closely with caregivers, teachers, and school staff to support each child holistically—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience supporting clients of all ages. I use professional and personal knowledge and experience including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy. I care deeply about what I do and want you to leave feeling heard, understood, and supported. I love supporting women as they work through challenges, especially in the context of parenting. I also enjoy working with adults managing transitions, self-growth, anxiety, boundary setting, inner-critics, relationships.

I graduated with my Masters in counseling in 2007. I believe we all need to validation and empathy in order to begin to make changes that last. I like to help women overcome loneliness, anxiety, depression, family troubles, divorce, kid challenges, etc but I also help men navigate these things too! I've worked with teenagers all the way to past retirement. I help individuals as well as couples and families. I believe real change is possible with some insight, willingness, and a little bit of tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this!

I am a Dual Licensed LPC and LCDC. I specialize in substance abuse disorders, anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. I especially like working with individuals that are seeking counseling for the first time. It is my desire to help you discover new ways of thinking and acting so you can gain freedom from thoughts or patterns that are keeping you stuck.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with a Master's Degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I spent the beginning of my career in mental health working at an MHMR, as well as with those struggling with addiction and eating disorders.

I strive for creating the conditions were humans can regain their curiosity, hope, and a new interactional perspective of themselves. Having also also known love, generosity, tolerance, respect and solidarity. I reject the need for cynicism: under the right conditions one can comfortably adhere to the unconditional confidence in the human potential for self-understanding, tolerance and positive change.
