Hello, I’m Tracy, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting children, teens, and families in various roles, including teacher, school counselor, and administrator. This background gives me a deep understanding of the challenges people face, and I use it to help my clients navigate life's difficulties with care, honesty, and practical support.
I specialize in working with teens and young adults dealing with anxiety, mild depression, school-related stress, or significant life transitions such as divorce, relocation, or adjusting to new environments. I recognize how overwhelming these experiences can be for the entire family.
Hello, I’m Henrietta Pieh, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals across the lifespan through comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive collaboration.
My background includes years of nursing experience in inpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, addiction recovery, and geriatric mental health. I believe in meeting clients where they are, building trust through empathy, and working together toward meaningful progress and emotional well-being.
Whether you are navigating stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, or other life challenges, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your healing journey.
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin affecting every part of your life. You may be exhausted from trying to hold everything together, questioning your next step, or feeling like you've lost touch with the person you want to be. Change doesn't happen overnight, but it can begin with one conversation. I partner with individuals experiencing depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, identity issues, and trauma so they can rebuild confidence, strengthen their relationships, and create a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling. Working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative environment where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Cynthia Oputa, and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care. I believe that effective treatment begins with truly listening, building trust, and partnering with you to support your mental and emotional well-being.
I have a strong clinical background in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment across the lifespan. My training allows me to integrate both psychotherapy and medication management, and I take a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to care. I believe that combining therapeutic support with appropriate medication—when needed—offers a more holistic and sustainable path to healing.
My areas of interest include the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and stress-related concerns. I work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that respect personal values, goals, and lived experiences. I also encourage education and shared decision-making, empowering clients to feel informed and confident about their care.
Above all, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and respected. Whether you are seeking help for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, professionalism, and care.
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.
Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.
It's easy to feel stuck in life with limited support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in private practice and inpatient settings, I strive to make my clients seen and heard for who they are.
Life has a way of presenting us with moments that feel overwhelming, isolating, or simply too heavy to carry alone. Whatever has brought you here today, know this: reaching out is one of the most powerful acts of self-care you can take. I'm a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults reclaim their sense of peace, purpose, and connection.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in El Paso, TX
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.
