My goal as a professional counselor is to provide an authentic and safe space for you to work through concerns while building and utilizing your own strengths. I show up with humor, honesty, and a deep respect for each part of you as the patient. My style is warm and genuine with a touch of quirkiness!
With a doctorate in developmental psychology, I bring both expertise and a down-to-earth approach to helping people find clarity and direction when life feels overwhelming. Originally from the Midwest, I’ve called Texas home for three decades, where I enjoy family life, yoga, travel, and the challenge of keeping up with too many pets. I bring warmth, experience, and a touch of humor to therapy, walking alongside clients as they navigate growth and change with compassion and perspective.
Throughout life's journey, all of us face difficult challenges as well as times of reflection and growth. I have a passion for helping others through difficult times and love working with clients helping to facilitate insight and healing in their personal journey. In 2017, I opened Ponderado M Counseling Services, LLC on a ranch in La Grange, Texas. The counseling office is nestled around animals and the outdoors as they are used to create a unique therapeutic environment and opportunity for the client outside the traditional office setting.
Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
As your therapist, I bring several years of experience supporting individuals and families through crisis, healing, and transformation. My background spans emergency departments, inpatient care, child welfare, hospice, and community mental health—each setting has shaped my trauma-informed, solution-focused, and client-centered approach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bryan, TX
Searching for therapists in Bryan starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist has experience with those needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, training, and approaches that match what you want to work on. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, the concerns they support, and what sessions may be like.
In a smaller city like Bryan, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. Some people prefer an in-person office near Bryan, College Station, or the Brazos Valley, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. Beyond location, consider whether the therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Bryan can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you’re ready.
