Hi, I’m Joelle Nagel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s from the University of Denver. I have years of experience helping clients of all ages in schools, private practice, and clinical settings. My specialties include trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT, and behavior intervention. I’m passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where people can grow and heal. I blend compassion with structure, always meeting clients where they are.
Taking the first step is the hardest part—but you do not have to walk it alone.
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 29 years of experience helping adults, children, and families transform their lives. I help clients cope with depression, anxiety, anger, coping skills issues, and past traumas. Together, we will clear the path toward your mental health goals, breaking down big obstacles into manageable steps. Your courage brought you here, and my expertise is here to support you the rest of the way. Let’s build the future you deserve.
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.
I believe that every person has inherent value, and was uniquely made for this Earth. Most people saw the best in themselves and others, when at some point they were overcome with disappointment, hurt, or other of life's challenges. When this happens they may find themselves asking, "Who is there to listen without judgement?" or "Who can I tell what happened when I think nobody will understand?" These people want to have a life worth living, but feel like it's too much to navigate on their own.
What can clients expect from their first session with you?I'm a strong advocate, and I can help you to advocate for yourself too. I can be a listening ear, a helper, someone to have an open honest dialogue with. I use humor and relationship to help people feel well supported and motivated towards their goals.
Hello and welcome. I look forward to being apart of your healing journey.
Whether you are struggling with life’s challenges, navigating relationship difficulties, or seeking a safe space to express yourself, you are looking in the right direction! I believe that true abundance grows within.
My name is Courtney, and I am a Master's prepared Social Worker that provides telehealth services to individuals living in North Carolina, Connecticut, Tennessee and Texas. I specialize in helping adults (18+) cope with and navigate through challenging life transitions. My areas of expertise include chronic illness, anxiety, depression, grief and family conflict.

- My approach to therapy is interactive and collaborative, focused on your self discovery and growth. I see our work as a partnership where your voice, values, and goals matter. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and clarify the changes you hope to see in your life, relationships, and overall sense of well being.
- I prefer to join in with my clients rather than sit back and simply observe. We will actively work together to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that enhance your quality of life. I will offer gentle guidance, ask thoughtful questions, and invite your feedback so our sessions feel useful and relevant to you.
- I believe the therapy relationship is designed to support the change you are seeking. Our work will help you move toward those desired shifts at a pace that feels right, while honoring what is most important to you. If you are ready to explore your next steps in a collaborative, supportive space, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in El Paso
Searching for therapists in El Paso starts with finding the right match for the care you want. El Paso therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose training, listed specialties, and approach align with your needs. Their profile can help you understand whether they focus on talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or another approach that fits what you are looking for.
In a mid-sized market like El Paso, it helps to consider both clinical fit and practical details. You may prefer an office near Central El Paso, Northeast El Paso, Eastwood, or another area that works with your routine. Virtual therapy can also expand your options, especially if scheduling, commute time, or local availability matters. When reviewing counselors in El Paso, compare appointment times, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each therapist describes their communication style. These details can make it easier to choose someone before you book.
Therapy in El Paso, TX can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer view of what you may pay. Headway helps you search for therapists in El Paso, Texas who are accepting new patients, review bios, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before booking. From therapy in El Paso, TX to couples counseling and marriage counseling in El Paso, you can use the directory to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and offers care in a format that works for you.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
