Hi Everyone, I'm Lorena, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Texas, and I provide medication management and supportive psychiatric care for adults. I was raised in a Mexican American household, and I value culturally sensitive care that respects family dynamics, identity, and lived experience. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, postpartum depression or anxiety, schizophrenia, and life stressors such as grief and family conflict. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and not judged.

You have probably been carrying more than you let on, and somewhere along the way, just getting through the day became the goal. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, family stress, and life transitions that feel bigger than expected. I also support parents who are looking for help for a child or teenager who is struggling to find their footing. Whatever brings you here, my goal is to make sure you feel genuinely heard from the very first conversation.

As someone in recovery myself, I understand how heavy addiction can feel. Sometimes we just need someone to sit in the pit with us while we gather the strength to climb out. What keeps me going are the goals that I set after I got out of my own pit. I built a life I love. When I'm not in my office, I'm probably out collecting comic book memorabilia, working on a project on my house, teaching my dogs about the importance of boundaries, or watching Jurassic Park. What keeps you going?

Whether you're coping with the loss of a loved one, managing the emotional impact of a chronic illness, healing from past experiences, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, I strive to provide thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore life's challenges at your own pace. I specialize in working with adults experiencing grief and bereavement, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, chronic health conditions, and major life transitions.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kids, working out, and reading psychological thrillers!

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything else together. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You don't have to keep carrying those burdens alone. I work alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and relationship issues so they can build healthier relationships, regain emotional balance, and reconnect with the life they want to live. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

As your therapist, my goal is to create a warm and welcoming environment to help you heal. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, stress, trauma, personality disorders and other mental health issues. I currently provide services to clients 18 years and older. I have experience in working with individuals, couples and families. I serve the LBGTQ+ community, young adults, college students, and older adults.

You may be the person everyone else turns to, while quietly feeling overwhelmed yourself. Maybe anxiety has become part of your daily life, stress never seems to let up, or you're navigating depression, grief, relationship challenges, or a major transition. You may know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start. You don't have to figure it out alone.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults looking for practical, honest, and supportive therapy. I especially enjoy working with men who may have spent years putting their own needs aside or feeling like they have to handle everything on their own. My approach is collaborative and affirming, with a focus on understanding what is keeping you stuck, building on your strengths, and creating meaningful change that carries into your everyday life.

I believe that healing begins with being heard, understood, and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I specialize in working with clients navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life transitions, and self-esteem struggles. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with mindfulness, self-compassion, and strengths-based techniques.

I believe growth is possible for everyone, and I am passionate about supporting clients as they rediscover hope, confidence, and balance.

You've probably gotten good at holding it together for everyone else, even when things feel heavier than you're letting on. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and the kind of stress that builds up quietly over time. I offer sessions in English and Spanish, so you can show up exactly as you are, in whichever language feels most like home. I'm not here to tell you how to live your life. I'm here to help you feel heard, make sense of what you're carrying, and feel less alone in it.

Getting here was the first step—now let's focus on where you want to go.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life's emotional and psychological challenges.

Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, irritability, sleep problems, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change.

I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in mental health counseling, healthcare, and education. I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Doctor of Pharmacy, which gives me a unique perspective on how mental, emotional, and physical health connect. I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, OCD, perinatal mental health, and emotional challenges, with neurodivergent affirming care at the center.
