Every person will encounter difficult obstacles in life, but your past or current struggles do not have to define your future. I have devoted my life to empowering people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and other issues, helping them find long-term solutions. I provide therapy in a non-judgmental, supportive space with the goal that you will recognize your value and capacity for wholeness regardless of what holds you back today.
Hello, I’m Bibiana Peña, a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor. I am a bilingual therapist, offering sessions in both English and Spanish. I work with clients ages 10 and up. Using a person‐centered approach, I strive to build genuine therapeutic relationships that honor each person’s lived experiences, cultural background, and unique strengths.
If you’re considering therapy, chances are something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected from yourself or the people around you, or simply ready for something to change.
I work with people navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, people-pleasing and conflict avoidance, trauma, grief, identity concerns, life transitions, and difficulty expressing what they need or want. My goal isn’t to fit you into a box or tell you who you should become. It’s to understand what life is like for you, what is getting in your way, and where you want to go from here.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Registered Play Therapist. I have a background in education as well as social work.
my clients will be cared for and paid attention to
As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist, my relationship with my client is the most important aspect of the process. I strive for connection and a collaborative spirit. It is always my goal to help the client with their unique and special needs. Whether someone struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, or general relational issues, I want to develop a plan with them that will be customized to their needs, and specific to what their desired outcome is.
I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but have difficulty changing, often related to early trauma, complex family dynamics, or relationships. You may find yourself disconnected from yourself or others, struggling with shame, boundaries, people-pleasing, or a sense of who you are. Together, we can slow down, get curious about what’s happening, and explore what might be possible.
Hi! I'm Amy. From my background in early childhood education, to my master's in counseling from the University of North Texas, from an internship with an addiction-focused residential site to EMDR training to clinical leadership in a partial hospitalization program, I use my wide breadth of experience to inform my practice.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with over 15 years of experience supporting adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, self-worth, and relationship challenges, and I also work with couples seeking stronger communication and connection. My style is warm, collaborative, and relational, creating a space where you can show up as you are. Together, we’ll understand the patterns keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I work with ages 6 and up on anxiety, depression and life changes.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Arlington
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Arlington starts with identifying care that is affirming, specific, and relevant to your needs. Many people search for support related to identity, relationships, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention LGBTQIA+-affirming care, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or WPATH training. These details can help you find a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match the kind of support you want.
In a mid-sized city like Arlington, your options may include local offices, nearby care across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and virtual appointments. Virtual care can expand access to affirming therapists, especially when local availability is limited or when a therapist with specific LGBTQIA+ experience is the better match. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, clinical approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients.
Therapy in Arlington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
