Hello, my name is Anamile Idalia Guerra. I am fluent in English and Spanish and a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) under the supervision of Ayesha Lakhani MA, LPC-S. I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and hold a Masters of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am passionate about understanding why our minds think the way they do and why we act in certain ways. I also want to help people improve their lives and believe people can make positive changes. My belief is rooted in trust, empathy, genuineness, respect, and compassion. You can expect a confidential, honest, and non-judgemental environment from me during our time together.
My therapeutic approach stems from person-centered therapy, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I counsel children from 5 years old and up, teenagers, adults, older adults, and couples. I will help empower you, and together, we can construct goals and develop coping strategies so that you can strive towards a better you.
Fun fact: I lived in southeast Asia for 3 years and am a certified open-water diver.
Another fact is that I am also passionate about singing.
