Megan Cuellar

Megan Cuellar

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Antonio, TX


As a therapist, I specialize in trauma recovery and the treatment of phobias, using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with children, adolescents, and young adults ages 5 to 25. Together, we’ll work to uncover strengths, build resilience, and find practical tools to help you or your child move forward.

In addition to EMDR, I’m trained in multiple trauma-informed approaches, including Sandtray Therapy and Play Therapy. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all method to healing, so I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs and preferences.

I also offer parent support through dedicated "Parent Sessions," where I provide coaching, education, and guidance to help families support their child’s growth and healing at home. I view therapy as a family-centered process — not just individual work — and I'm passionate about empowering caregivers along the way.

I provide both in-person and virtual sessions through Bending Willows Wellness PLLC in the San Antonio area. I am licensed in Texas and offer virtual therapy to clients across the state. Virtual sessions are available for ages 8 and up, while children ages 5–7 are seen in person.

Veronica Cabada

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hello, my name is Veronica and helping my clients achieve their mental well-being goals is my passion. As a mother who lost her firstborn to bullying, and challenges with depression and anxiety, I know all too well the struggles and pain of mental illness.

I am a bilingual, licensed, and practicing counselor with a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling, certified in Reiki and Access BAR, with several years of experience providing individual, couples, family, and crisis counseling. I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at El Paso and have since worked in various clinical settings with children and adults with diverse diagnoses, such as MDD, GAD, schizophrenia, BPD, PTSD, and anger issues, to name a few. I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling skills and a deep understanding of interpersonal and familial relationships. I have experience helping clients manage their distress by guiding them to become comfortable with vulnerability and assisting them in identifying, exploring, and processing their emotions. I pride myself on providing a safe and supportive space to work alongside you, helping you overcome traumas, crises, and barriers to gain control of your life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Texas

Searching for therapists in Texas starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across a state as large and varied as Texas, therapy needs and available therapists can differ across urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches your needs. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others may focus on specific populations or concerns.

Location and format also matter when comparing Texas therapists. In larger areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, you may have many choices, while other parts of the state may have fewer local options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access from home. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.

The cost of therapy in Texas can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Texas therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and are ready to take new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
