Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Mcallen, TX

As a seasoned practitioner (since 2006) with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I have dedicated my career to mastering a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to better serve my clients.

My clinical practice is grounded in extensive training across several specialized frameworks, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Additionally, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Hypnotherapy into my work, allowing for a highly tailored and comprehensive approach to psychological wellness.

I graduated from West Texas A&M University with a master's degree in Professional Counseling.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years experience working as a therapist, life coach and pastoral counselor. I have worked with clients having a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, parenting and family problems, career challenges, trauma, abuse and disabilities that include psychiatric and physical health issues. My therapy style is warm and interactive.

Many of the people I work with are accustomed to being the dependable one, yet privately feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of worry or intrusive thoughts, or disconnected from themselves or their relationships. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, so I strive to provide a calm, down-to-earth space where you can be honest without fear of judgment.

My years in education and as a school counselor shaped my patient, practical, and compassionate approach. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two golden retrievers, gardening, working on creative projects, and traveling in our RV. I’m also naturally a night owl, so offering late-evening therapy feels like a genuine extension of who I am.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes you don’t have to be falling apart for therapy to make sense. I work with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationships, grief, identity, and major life transitions. I’ve spent my career as both a therapist and mental health leader, and I bring that experience into the room with warmth, curiosity, humor, and practical support. You don’t have to have the perfect words or know exactly what’s wrong—we can figure that out together.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Houston. I specialize in helping adults and older adults navigate workplace stress, family challenges, and emotional wellbeing. My areas of focus include career burnout, work-life balance, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, divorce, caregiving stress, and cross-cultural adjustment.

I believe every person carries an inner strength that can be uncovered and nurtured. In therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can share your story, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." Welcome, my name is Peju and I a a licensed professional counselor in Texas. With over 10 years of practice, I firmly believe that our past and current situations do not define who we are. Instead, it is our ability to rise and push through our struggles that allows us to grow into the person we are destined to become.

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.

Something that stands out in regard to me is that I have gathered some valuable wisdom over the years from many excellent mentors and life experience as an educator, vocational ministry, raising my own family, and having worked with many gifted and compassionate people.

My clients describe me as understanding ("getting them as individuals"), caring and collaborative , and a safe place to share what they need to share.
