Victoria Cuellar

Hello, I’m Victoria Cuellar, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, and I’m so glad you are here. Reaching out for support can be a meaningful step, and I want to warmly welcome you to Texas Counseling Center as you seek peace, hope, and direction. My hope is that this biography gives you a sense of who I am and helps you decide whether I may be the right therapist to walk alongside you. I have spent 24 years working in school settings, including 18 years as a classroom teacher and 5 years as a high school counselor. Those years gave me a deep appreciation for the many ways children experience stress, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. They also strengthened my desire to support children and individuals as they work through challenges, discover their strengths, and move toward healing and growth.

I truly enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults. I support individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, emotional challenges, or who simply want to feel healthier and more grounded in their everyday lives. In our work together, my goal is to offer a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe healing happens at your own pace, and I hope to help you build mindfulness, strengthen your sense of self, and reconnect with the values that matter most to you. By using an eclectic approach to therapy, we can create a path that fits your unique needs, strengths, and goals.

When I’m not counseling, I enjoy spending time with my family, spoiling my dog, Leia Malone, taking road trips to the Hill Country, watching movies, baking, trying new recipes, and spending time in prayer. And one fun little fact about me: I have a very special love for sloths.

“I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”
