About me

Hi, I'm Arlene,

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor providing therapy for children, teens, adults, and families in the Rio Grande Valley.

I believe everyone deserves a safe place to feel heard and understood, especially when life feels overwhelming or difficult to navigate

Growing up and working in this community has given me a deep appreciation for the strength, culture, and resilience of the families here. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported.

Credentials & Training

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) – Texas

Master's of Science Degree in Guidance and Counseling

My Approach

Therapy is tailored to your needs, using approaches that help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and experiences:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Play-based intervention
Strength-based therapy
Parent collaboration and support

For children, therapy may include play, art, games, and activities to help them express feelings, build confidence, and learn ways to manage big emotions.

For teens and adults, therapy may focus on managing stress, building confidence, working through difficult emotions, and changing unhelpful thought patterns.
