Couples therapists in El Paso, TX

I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.

Some experiences change the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.

Whether you're grieving a loss, recovering from trauma, navigating a mental health challenge, or trying to regain your footing after a difficult season of life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by emotions that seem impossible to untangle on your own.

I'm Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, PTSD, and major life challenges. Through my experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as crisis intervention work, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. One thing I've learned is that healing rarely happens all at once—it happens one step, one conversation, and one breakthrough at a time.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Starting therapy can often make people feel nervous and unsure about what to expect. I understand how hard it is to trust a stranger with such personal thoughts and feelings. I have been working to help others create a safe and productive space to share and grow since 2013.

Taking the step to seek support isn’t easy, and I want to honor the courage it takes to be here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Life Coach, and retired Army veteran who believes caring for your mental health is essential to living a balanced, fulfilling life. I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves. I work with teens and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or major life transitions, and I strive to meet you with respect, compassion, and understanding.

Maybe your brain will not slow down long enough to finish what you started. Maybe the worry arrives before you are even out of bed. Maybe something happened years ago that you have never really put down. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors carrying ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I have spent over six years doing it across private practice, schools, and clinics. I work with people of all ages and abilities, in English or Spanish. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey.

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here!

My name is Chaim, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma (C-PTSD), low self-esteem, confidence concerns, and relationship challenges.

My approach combines evidence-based care with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.

As a client, you might consider exploring the experiences and patterns that contribute to your struggles while building practical tools to support emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and meaningful change.

I bring a multicultural perspective to my work and strive to offer an affirming, respectful space for people of diverse cultures, identities, and life experiences. Therapy is tailored to your individual needs, values, strengths, and goals—whether you are seeking support independently or as a couple.

You may be healing from painful experiences, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, navigating relationship conflict, or hoping to reconnect with your confidence and sense of self. You do not have to face it alone.

My goal is to help you move beyond survival and coping toward greater resilience, self-understanding, and a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.
