Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Lufkin, TX

You've probably spent a long time holding things together for everyone else while quietly falling apart on the inside. I work with adults who are carrying grief, trauma, or the weight of becoming a parent and feel like they are supposed to be fine but aren't. Some of my clients are working through PTSD, some are grieving a loss that reshaped their whole world, and some are trying to make sense of who they are after a major shift in their life. I meet you where you are and help you build a clearer, more honest relationship with yourself.

Hello! I'm Sarah, and I'm a board-certified psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner, with additional certification in addiction medicine. I've been working in mental health for the past seven years, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. I specialize in treating women's issues such as post-partum and perinatal mental health, menopause, and PMDD. My practice also serves women and girls experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, life changes, and much more.

Empowering Growth Through Compassionate, Personalized Therapy

Welcome to Free Your Mind Counseling, where healing meets authenticity. My practice is founded on the belief that every individual deserves a safe and supportive space to heal, grow, and thrive. I provide personalized, culturally responsive therapy for trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions—grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration.

I specialize in existential, eclectic, and integrative therapies, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Experiential frameworks. This flexible, holistic approach allows me to meet clients where they are—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

My academic foundation includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Juvenile Justice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and bring over a decade of experience in the criminal justice system, substance use recovery programs, and diverse mental health settings.

I am also completing my Doctoral degree at Houston Christian University in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, majoring in Executive Mental Health and Human Services—a reflection of my commitment to advancing mental health leadership and community impact.

My philosophy centers on helping clients discover purpose, balance, and self-acceptance through integrative, trauma-informed care. I believe in engaging deeply—not just listening, but empowering transformation. My mission is to create a nonjudgmental space where healing isn’t just possible—it’s expected.

I bring more than 18 years of clinical experience supporting children who have experienced abuse and neglect, individuals working through addiction, youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, families navigating foster care and adoption, and clients experiencing acute mental health crisis. My approach is grounded in compassion, trauma-informed care, and a commitment to creating a safe and supportive therapeutic enviornment.

Welcome! I’m Dr. Leticia Gonzalez-Castro, a dedicated mental health professional and educator with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients of all ages—from young children to adults—navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, family dynamics, and educational hurdles. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Houston and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management from Saint Thomas University, Florida, blending deep clinical understanding with strategic, advocate-minded care. My passion lies in empowering individuals and strengthening communities, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward growth and healing.

I am a bilingual English/Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C), and Infant Mental Health Endorsed (IMH-E®). I provide virtual therapy throughout Texas for children and teens ages 6–18, adults, and parents. I especially support individuals navigating ADHD and attention challenges, pregnancy and postpartum changes, infertility and fertility treatments, NICU experiences, parenting stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, supported, and never judged. Sometimes therapy is about finding solutions and building new tools, and sometimes it is simply about having a safe place to talk, process, and feel supported.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.
