Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Laredo, TX

Feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? You don’t have to face it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and Registered Play Therapist, helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges with care and understanding.

Through play therapy, children find a safe way to express, process, and heal. Teens and adults receive guidance for trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, individualized, and focused on helping you move forward with confidence.

I bring experience from juvenile and community settings—including Webb County Youth Village Detention Center, Webb County Treatment Program, United Independent School District, and PILLAR—where I’ve supported clients and mentored clinicians.

Together, we can create a space where you or your child feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to grow.

Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.

Hi, I’m Kianté, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy to teens and adults throughout Texas. My background includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, life transitions, identity, relationships, and adoption-related experiences. I have a particular passion for working with adoptees and individuals exploring questions of identity, belonging, grief and loss, and the impact of past experiences on who they are today.

My approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, and individualized to each client. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), while recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I work to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, exploring difficult emotions, and making sense of experiences without fear of judgment.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My experience includes providing outpatient psychiatric care across the lifespan as well as caring for older adults in assisted living and memory care settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health across different stages of life. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related conditions. I work with adolescents ages 13 and older, adults, and older adults who may be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulties with focus, mood changes, or the effects of past trauma.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor based in Texas with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges.

I believe that seeking support is a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life. My role is to walk alongside you—offering guidance, compassion, and tools tailored to your unique journey. If you're ready to begin, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. I look forward to connecting with you.

I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas. I work with a wide population of individuals including, children (10 years old and up), adolescents, and adults of all ages. I have been working with clients since 2009. During this time, I have worked in the community as a home-based provider, community mental health therapist, substance abuse therapist, college counselor, and private practice therapist. Much of my experience has surrounded helping individuals identify core issues and recover from past trauma. I believe in the healing power of being listened to and fully accepted.
