Hi! My name is Gabriela Rivas Espinoza. I am licensed through the State of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor.

​ I received my Bachelor of Science in Forensic Psychology from Roosevelt University in 2019. After that, I graduated from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in June 2021 with a Masters in Counseling Psychology.

​ During my master’s, I had the opportunity to support clients from a variety of backgrounds - from college students to the elderly. My work included one-on-one sessions to help clients navigate hardships, deal with isolation, and discrimination and connect them with resources in the community. After receiving my master’s, I moved to Dallas and began my first experience helping children and adolescent groups conquer their traumas, anxiety, and depression by processing and reframing unhelpful thoughts through psychoeducation.

​ My approach to therapy is person-centered. This means I believe the client is the expert and I am here to help facilitate the path to overcoming your mental health challenges. I aim to accomplish this by providing active listening in a judgment-free environment where we can peel back the layers together to uncover the root problems and learn how to cope with those difficulties at a comfortable pace for you.

​ In my spare time, I like to watch tv shows, listen to podcasts and explore new restaurants.

Hello! My name is Christina Gonzalez and I am a State of Texas Licensed Professional Counselor.

I graduated from Texas A&M University-Kingsville with a Bachelors in Psychology and Sociology, Masters of Science in Guidance and Counseling, and earned a Doctoral Certificate in Higher Education Administration Leadership.

I love empowering people with the skills to be successful, whatever that means for them as an individual. Each person is individually unique so I enjoy working with clients in the person-centered methodologies of cognitive-behavioral and reality therapy, as well as solution-focused therapy. I also have a passion for promoting wellness. The eight components of the Wellness Wheel are fundamental for our progression through life: Intellectual, Emotional, Occupational, Environmental, Financial, Cultural, Physical and Social.​

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and watching movies with my family.

Hi! My name is Mariana Adame and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a bachelors degree in Psychology and continued training at Texas State University where I earned a masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Connecting with individuals throughout very tender and fragile parts of their lives has been an incredible privilege that I do not take for granted.

Therapy with my clients focuses on exploring factors, that may have contributed to our current issues, such as emotional hardships and trauma, change or transitions, not having a space to talk about feelings, family of origin issues, or childhood hardships. However, therapy does not always focus on “the bad”. There are also many strengths, values, and beliefs within my clients that are important to highlight and use throughout the therapy journey.

During sessions, my goal is that my clients have a corrective emotional experience by discussing whatever has occurred in their life, that got us to where they are today. My ultimate hope is that my clients leave session knowing that we can discuss hard topics, that we can practice vulnerability with ourselves and others, and know that someone is on their side, cheering them on, unconditionally.

The primary populations I work with are teens and adults surrounding issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, stress, and grief and loss. Other work has included volunteering with UT and Harvard where I oversaw the successful treatment of OCD via the LEAP Lab/FIRST Child Study and volunteering in a grief and loss children’s camp via Hope Hospice in New Braunfels, Texas.
