Dawn Gutierrez

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • San Antonio, TX


Hi! My name is Dawn Gutierrez. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare.

My clinical experience spans across Family Health, Women's Health, Behavioral Health, Emergency and Trauma comprehensive care at the Military Hospital for over 15 years. I then specialized in gender-affirming services such as hormone therapy and ongoing care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals. While providing care for the LGBQTIA community, I was drawn to continuing my education in Mental Health Care to provide Psychiatric services to this community as well.

I approach each patient with respect for their lived experience, identity, and goals, emphasizing collaborative decision-making and individualized treatment plans. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, clinical excellence, and a strong belief that affirming, accessible healthcare is essential to both mental and physical well-being.

I have extensive experience delivering care through both telehealth and in-clinic settings, allowing me to meet patients where they are and reduce barriers to access. I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care in a safe, respectful, and affirming environment.

Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my family, which brings balance to the work I love. Caring for others—both at home and in my practice—is at the heart of who I am.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Melissa! Thanks for visiting! My ideal client is someone who’s ready to take accountability and implement change. I believe accountability is one of the strongest foundations for growth. When you can own your choices and patterns, you can shift them and move toward your highest self. With 20 years of experience as a social worker, I support individuals who are navigating depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and self-esteem challenges. I also have experience working with people who have been impacted by foster care, domestic violence, court system, family conflict and traumatic events.

Delores Garza

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I believe that even during life's most difficult seasons, growth and healing are possible.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship concerns, career changes, burnout, and other significant life transitions. Whether you're navigating divorce, adjusting to a new chapter, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can process your experiences and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

My therapeutic approach is personalized and evidence-based. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to meet clients where they are and help them achieve meaningful progress.

With experience as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and educational leader, I understand the unique pressures many adults face while balancing work, family, relationships, and personal growth.

My hope is that every client leaves therapy feeling more empowered, resilient, and confident in their ability to navigate whatever comes next.

"Together, we'll create a path forward—one step at a time."

Are relationships—whether with family, friends, or yourself—leaving you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected? For more than 13 years, I've worked alongside teens and families in school settings, including 6 years as a mental health counselor and accommodations specialist. I understand the challenges young people face, from anxiety, depression, and ADHD to social pressures, identity development, family conflict, and academic stress. I also work with college students and adults navigating relationships, life transitions, burnout, grief, and anxiety. Therapy can help you feel grounded, understood, and more connected.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe place to be yourself, without judgment or pressure. My goal is to meet you where you are, listen with compassion, and help you feel more understood, confident, and supported along the way.
