Tracie Bernal

Tracie Bernal

Therapist

Virtual • Mansfield, TX


I believe healing begins when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that combines evidence-based therapy with a genuine, collaborative relationship.

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, stress, and family conflict. I also enjoy helping clients overcome people-pleasing, establish healthy boundaries, improve communication, and process difficult life experiences that continue to impact the present.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 19 years working in public education, helping children, teens, and families navigate emotional challenges, strengthen communication, build resilience, and develop practical coping skills. That experience continues to shape my approach by meeting clients where they are and focusing on their unique strengths.

Dr. Megan Castro

Dr. Megan Castro

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Texas


I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice–trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a career shaped by service, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of healing. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent many years as a CNA and later earned my BSN from the University of the Incarnate Word in 2015 in San Antonio, TX. I worked bedside at University Hospital, transitioned to hospice in 2016, and later served in case management at UTHSCSA. In 2023, I began my DNP–PMHNP program, completing it while working full time at Clarity Child Guidance Center. On December 13th, 2025, I was officially granted the title of “Dr.”, became board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner on February 9th, 2026, and finally obtained my APRN with the Texas Board of Nursing on March 12th, 2026!

My doctoral project focused on reducing seclusion rates for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder using evidence‐based, trauma‐informed interventions—an area close to my heart as a parent of a special‐needs child. I’m passionate about geriatric psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry, and I bring a calm, grounded, and collaborative style to treatment.

I also briefly served in the United States Air Force, an experience that strengthened my commitment to resilience, service, and advocacy. Today, I continue to advocate for women affected by domestic violence, helping them reclaim safety, confidence, and possibility.

On a personal note, I’m a mom of two boys, happily married for 11 years, and the proud owner of four dogs. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me drinking coffee, shopping for plants, collecting perfumes, baking, cooking, or spending time with family and friends. These parts of my life help me stay balanced, grounded, and connected—values I bring into every therapeutic relationship.
