Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Cleburne, TX

We live in challenging times, and it’s often hard to know what to do in the face of adversity, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I believe in your ability to overcome life’s obstacles and create a life based on emotional stability and joy.

I and my staff work primarily with adolescents, adults, and couples with issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, gender identity, grief, and marital/relationship strife.

Hi, I’m Lauren.

​

Let’s skip the therapy stereotypes for a second.

​

If you’re looking for someone who’s going to sit quietly, nod, and give you a bunch of “mm-hmm’s” while you spin in circles, I’m probably not your therapist. If you’re looking for someone who will actually listen, be honest with you, and help you figure out what the hell is keeping you stuck, we might be a really good fit.

I believe growth requires asking tough questions and having uncomfortable conversations. I also know that trauma, change, and vulnerability can be scary as hell. My goal isn’t to throw you into the deep end and tell you to swim. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to approach the hard stuff while still challenging you in ways that actually lead to growth—not overwhelm your nervous system.

I’m Elizabeth, a Filipina American Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Her Mind & Wellness. My practice is built on the belief that mental‐health care should feel human, culturally aware, and deeply supportive.

I believe healing happens when you feel seen, safe, and understood. My practice blends modern psychiatry with a nurturing, human approach — creating a space where you can breathe, reset, and rebuild your wellness with guidance that feels gentle, clear, and empowering.

Getting here was the first step—now let's focus on where you want to go.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life's emotional and psychological challenges.

Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, irritability, sleep problems, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change.

I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.

As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management. I specialize in adults/ college students struggling with mood instability, women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum. As well as working with families navigating schizophrenia and or mood disorders. I believe healing begins when the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—is nurtured. My approach goes beyond medication alone, blending evidence-based psychiatric treatment with lifestyle and wellness strategies designed to restore balance and promote lasting emotional well-being.

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.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying more than anyone else realizes. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, parenting stress, trauma, or simply trying to navigate a difficult season of life, you don't have to face it alone. For more than 28 years, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through life's challenges, first through education and counseling-related support, and now as a therapist. I work with children ages 6 and older, adolescents, adults, and seniors, helping each person build resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop the confidence and skills needed to move forward. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

I understand that beginning therapy can seem intimidating and quite overwhelming, and many times, the toughest part of the experience is taking that first step. Still, you have made it here, and you are commencing your important journey to heal and rebuild yourself. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet with you and learn the best ways I can be of service. My practice style is very warm, caring, and collaborative.

Therapy isn’t what it used to be. It doesn’t have to be stuffy or scary. I want you to feel comfortable, safe, and enjoy the process! This is your journey, your time, and your money, so I want to make sure the experience is tailored to you and your needs.

I became a therapist because I lived the question my clients carry: Who am I underneath everything I've been told to be?

I know firsthand how deeply childhood experiences, adult trauma, and the messages we absorb from parents, partners, and systems can shape — and distort — how we see ourselves. Many of my clients arrive believing something is fundamentally broken in them. My job is to help you discover that's never been true.

What sets my work apart is that I treat the whole picture. I don't just address symptoms — I explore how your history, your nervous system, your neurobiology, and even your epigenetics created the patterns keeping you stuck. That's how change becomes permanent, not just temporary relief.

I also bring something most therapists can't offer: a commitment to never judge. Whether you're navigating a life others don't understand, a diagnosis that's felt like a label rather than a doorway, or relationships that don't fit a conventional mold — you are safe here.

And I believe this with everything I have: it is never too late to become who you were meant to be.
