Hello! I specialize in working with adults who are grappling with OCD, personality disorders, trauma, grief, anxiety, and relationship issues. Because these are complex and often deeply personal topics, I am here to support you on your path to understanding, growth, and resilience. It's time you realized how strong you really are!

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.

I am a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I've worked in different practice settings, including private practice, community mental health, homeless and correctional services, and addiction. I treat and manage a range of disorders ( depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, addictions, etc).

I love helping adults from all stages and walks of life to understand the things that are holding them back in order to find ways through them. After recognizing underlying barriers, we can work towards fully realizing your strengths and adjusting certain behaviors and thoughts to see things and be yourself in a healthier way.

Are you looking for a medication free treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, stuttering, developmental disabilities, or other brain related difficulties? Or, are you a high achieving student, professional or athlete who desires to enhance your performance in academics, athletics, or business? Everyone wants to have more effective, more efficient brain power. We want to perform at our personal peak, without the use of psychotropic medications. As a Licensed Psychologist and Board Certified Neurotherapist, I treat children and adults using brain training, and individual and family counseling techniques.

We teach the brain to regulate itself using EEG neurofeedback, as well as safe and subtle neurostimulation. While the brain is growing stronger and more adaptive, counseling is provided to assist with problem solving strategies and the cultivation of enhanced emotional and behavioral regulation.

Give us a call today so we may begin training your brain to function its peak performance. We have evening & weekend hours available. No student need miss any school.

I believe that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. As a fun-loving person who is still a child at heart, I strive to create a welcoming, authentic, and nonjudgmental space where clients of all ages can feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your unique experiences, and walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing the effects of trauma, anxiety, and other challenges that impact daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being. I am also passionate about providing affirming and supportive care to members of the LGBTQIA+ community, ensuring that every client feels respected, valued, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process. Additionally, I am proficient in American Sign Language (ASL) and am committed to fostering accessible and inclusive care for members of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities.

My approach combines compassion with evidence-based practices. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused counseling, and the SYMBIS Premarital Assessment. Whether you are seeking support for personal growth, healing from past experiences, strengthening relationships, or managing life's stressors, I am committed to helping you build resilience, discover your strengths, and create meaningful change.

I believe that every person deserves a space where they can feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow. My hope is to help you build on your strengths, overcome obstacles, and move toward a life that feels more connected, balanced, and fulfilling.
