Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Edinburg, TX covered by Aetna

¡Hola científicos! ¡Bienvenidos! My name is Norma, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who loves science and specializes in helping children, teens, and families navigate challenges that come from living in the world today.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience working with teens (13+), adults, active military, and veterans.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism. I also work with LGBTQ+ clients. I use CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused therapy, but I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. I focus on getting to the root of what's going on and figuring out what actually works for you.

You don't have to have it all figured out to start. You just have to show up. I'll do the work with you, no judgment, no pretense.

If you're ready, I'm here.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Arizona State University and have been practicing for nearly five years, with experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, including motor vehicle accident trauma and injury. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, honoring each person’s strengths while moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m a bilingual, multicultural Licensed Professional Counselor who supports adolescents, teens, parents, adults, couples, and families in both English and Spanish. If you or your child is struggling, or if your family is feeling the stress of anxiety, behavior concerns, school challenges, grief, life changes, or family conflict, I’m here to help.

I also support clients who are dealing with the effects of abuse, including painful memories, anxiety, and past experiences that still feel present today.

What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?

I always had a desire to understand people and didn't realize there was a profession centered around my curiosity until college. I was also very intrigued with trying to understand my emotions growing up and because I struggled, I developed a desire to help others through their life challenges. I started providing support services to families and volunteers through a mentoring agency, which later led to interning at a psychiatric outpatient facility, to working with foster children providing therapy and to also growing my private practice here with Alma working with adults and children.

What should someone know about working with you?

I believe I am relatable and open to the sharing of myself with the understanding and expectation that you will be entrusting your vulnerabilities with me in session. I will challenge your thoughts, your patterns and your assumptions, and I give homework routinely as an extension of our time together to keep you active and engaged until we meet again.

How do you continue learning and building new skills?

I am committed to being a life-long learner. I take courses and trainings annually, listen to and learn from seasoned clinicians and try to stay afloat of new groundbreaking research related to treatments and techniques surrounding mental health.

"Success for me, is helping others create the wellness they desire."

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults of all ages and families. I am bilingual so I offer therapy in english and spanish.

Hi, I’m Liz. I’m a bilingual therapist, and I feel most authentic when I can move naturally between both languages. I’m a Texan through and through, with plenty of Tex Mex Spanglish to show for it. I connect deeply with clients who are navigating family issues, generational trauma, cultural expectations, and the process of outgrowing beliefs or roles they were taught as children. I enjoy helping clients understand themselves better by exploring attachment patterns, nervous system responses, relationships, and the gap between who they were raised to be and who they are becoming. I have a heart for working with families, children, and parents because I believe it is easier to help children build healthier coping skills early than to wait until they are struggling later in life. I also find deep meaning in working with adults who are healing their inner child, breaking cycles, and learning how to live in a way that feels more honest and whole. My work often supports clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, stress management, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or family? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes.
