Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Brownsville, TX

Hi, I’m Pauline, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders, and I’m passionate about helping each person feel more supported, balanced, and understood. Outside of work, I love being near the water, whether that means the beach, a lake, or swimming whenever I can.

I received both my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been in private practice for more than 10 years. Prior to private practice, my career began as an inpatient therapist on locked units at psychiatric facilities Cambridge Hospital (currently Sun Behavioral Hospital) and West Oaks Hospital. In addition to my inpatient work at West Oaks Hospital, I was a group facilitator with both adolescents and adults for the outpatient extension of the hospital: The Excel Center. My work at The Excel Center involved daily group therapy in both the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP).

Because of my work with the acute psychiatric population in intensive treatment settings, I am able to work as a generalist practitioner. I work with most issue from depression, anxiety, and OCD to trauma, addiction and relationships struggles... just to name a few.

I am dedicated to offering mental health services of the highest caliber. I am caring and provide comprehensive care to adolescents and adults. I bring strong clinical abilities along with a natural ability to connect with patients and their families. I follow recommendations grounded in evidence-based guidelines, clinical knowledge, and individual observation. As a PMHNP-BC, I serve in many roles, including public health educator and mental health advocate. My goal is to provide quality mental health care services to all.

Starting this journey—whether it feels overwhelming, hopeful, or somewhere in between—takes courage, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and the lasting impact of early family dynamics.

Hello! My name is Jesica and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Social Work in 2016, my master’s degree in 2019, and became an LCSW in 2025. My experience includes inpatient behavioral health, supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, religious trauma, relationship challenges, and eating disorders. I'm currently a social worker at the VA hospital with a primary focus in substance use and homelessness.

My passion for mental health is deeply personal. I once experienced my own struggles and had a therapist help me find hope and healing when I needed it most. That experience inspired me to become a therapist who helps others feel seen, supported, and empowered through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, discover your strengths, and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

Outside of my work, I’m a wife and a proud mom of three children. I enjoy spending time with my family exploring our community through outdoor activities, local events, concerts, and farmers markets. I also love traveling, experiencing different cultures, cooking, reading, and gardening.

I believe connection, curiosity, and finding joy in everyday moments are important parts of a balanced life, and those values guide both who I am and how I support my clients. If you’re ready to begin your therapy journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Hello, I'm Adriana (she/her). I specialize in supporting adults who live at the intersection of culture, family, identity. Many of my clients feel stuck between who they were taught to be and who they’re becoming. If you're carrying guilt, pressure, or self-doubt that doesn’t fully belong to you, let's name those dynamics clearly and without judgement.

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it is also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.
