Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Keller, TX

Hello! My name is Yaritza. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) TX #80888 & FL #TPMC5727, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern (LCDC-I), and a national board-certified counselor (NBCC). I am bilingual (English & Spanish), and I have been working in the mental health field since 2009. My experience includes working at community mental health agencies and, most recently, at a major insurance company.

Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, explore what’s weighing on you, and discover your own strength. I work with teens, adults, women, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the stress that comes with everyday life. As a bilingual counselor fluent in English and Spanish, I also understand how culture, family expectations, and personal experiences can shape our emotional well-being. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, develop practical tools, and work toward the life you want to create—one step at a time.

Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.

I am Mary Nganga, a PMHNP-BC in state of Texas. I have more than 12 years of experience in mental health. I graduated with Bachelor in Nursing from University of Texas Arlington, and Masters in Nursing from Texas States University, San Marcos. My free time, I enjoy spending time my family, pet (Ruffy), and gardening.
