Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Waco, TX covered by Cigna

Have you been through something so painful that it feels too heavy to carry on your own? Hi, I’m Manuela Aguilar, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming life experiences. Many of the folks I see are healing from domestic violence, sexual assault, or other deeply distressing events and are looking for a safe place to feel like themselves again.

I know that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re carrying a lot on your own. I believe deeply in the strength, warmth, and resilience that come from our cultura, and I bring that understanding into every session.

I work with clients who want support navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions, particularly when cultural identity and family dynamics play an important role. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood, while also using research-backed tools that truly help you move forward.

Life can feel overwhelming when you are carrying more than you can manage on your own while trying to balance work, relationships, family responsibilities, and daily stress. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or family challenges while feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Over time, that pressure can show up as chronic worry, burnout, sadness, emotional overwhelm, anger, or a growing sense of disconnection from yourself and others. I specialize in anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, family issues, and grief or loss. I work with adolescents, adults, and children, and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with 12 years of experience, my goal is to create a supportive space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to move toward healing and meaningful change.

I'm glad you are interested in my profile. Let me introduce myself. I'm a Licensed Counselor, Christian, and US Army Veteran with years of experience working in community mental health, addiction recovery, and PTSD treatment — both with service members and Veterans through the VA, and with civilians carrying similar weight.

I work primarily with adults — especially men, women, couples, and Veterans navigating PTSD, addiction, marriage challenges, life transitions, and the kind of stress that builds up over years of trying to handle everything alone.

I'm also a Christian counselor, and my faith guides every aspect of my life. The majority of my clients over the years are not Christian, and I have worked well with them, and their needs. I am sensitive to the needs of my clients.

My job is to meet you where you are. You'll find me direct, but warm, solution-focused, humorous. I speak plainly, and not in clinical jargon, if I can help it. .
