LGBT therapists in New Braunfels, TX

I’m Elizabeth, a Filipina American Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Her Mind & Wellness. My practice is built on the belief that mental‐health care should feel human, culturally aware, and deeply supportive.

I believe healing happens when you feel seen, safe, and understood. My practice blends modern psychiatry with a nurturing, human approach — creating a space where you can breathe, reset, and rebuild your wellness with guidance that feels gentle, clear, and empowering.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults of all ages and families. I am bilingual so I offer therapy in english and spanish.

Taking the step to seek support isn’t easy, and I want to honor the courage it takes to be here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Life Coach, and retired Army veteran who believes caring for your mental health is essential to living a balanced, fulfilling life. I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves. I work with teens and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or major life transitions, and I strive to meet you with respect, compassion, and understanding.

Thank you for visiting Little Light Wellness!

I am a board certified nurse practitioner in both psychiatry and family medicine. I received my Bachelors of Nursing through UT Austin in 2008 and my Family Nurse Practitioner Masters degree through UT Austin in 2014. I have spent the last 11 years treating patients with complex autoimmune medical conditions in an outpatient infusion setting.

In 2024, after realizing a need for holistic psychiatric care for my patients, I received my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certification through Johns Hopkins University.

I created Little Light Wellness to integrate my passions for authentic, down-to-earth care, education, and empowering collaborative approaches to psychiatric treatment. My goal is to create a safe space for you to feel truly seen, heard, and understood as we discover what treatment paths work best for you on your mental wellness journey.

I believe therapy is a space where you don’t have to hold everything together on your own. Many of the women I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are becoming after life transitions, relational wounds, or long-standing expectations placed on them. You may be functioning on the outside, yet internally feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the emotional impact of trauma—both big, defining moments and the quieter, cumulative experiences that shape how we see ourselves and others. A core focus of my work is supporting minority women and those experiencing identity rupture—the feeling of losing, questioning, or redefining who you are due to cultural pressures, relational conflict, motherhood, systemic stress, or major life transitions.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with clinical experience providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults presenting with a range of mental health concerns, including trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and interpersonal difficulties. I have worked with diverse populations and across varying levels of clinical acuity.

My clinical approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based, integrating cognitive-behavioral and skills-focused interventions to support emotional regulation, symptom management, and insight development. I prioritize establishing a therapeutic environment that is collaborative, structured, and emotionally safe, allowing clients to engage in treatment at an appropriate and clinically indicated pace.

I am committed to providing ethical, client-centered care and supporting individuals across the lifespan in improving psychological functioning, resilience, and overall well-being.

I believe therapy should feel less like performing and more like finally being able to exhale. My approach is warm, collaborative, insight-oriented, and rooted in genuine human connection. I specialize in psychoanalytic and narrative therapy, helping clients explore the deeper patterns, relationships, experiences, and stories that shape how they move through the world. Together, we work to uncover the “why” beneath recurring emotions, behaviors, relationship dynamics, and internal conflicts while also rewriting narratives that no longer serve you.
