My name is Dr. Alma Castaneda, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and currently accept clients in Texas and Florida. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life transitions, pre/post transition surgery and relationship problems. I believe in a positive and holistic approach to therapy. It is important to find balance in your life and it starts with improving self-esteem and self care. I like a person centered approach meaning you are in charge, we will go at your speed. Therapy should always be a positive experience.
Life's struggles can lead to problems with depression, anxiety, trauma, transitions or other issues. When that happens, your life can be affected negatively, and your self-esteem can take a hit. I customize my approaches to fit every individual's needs.
If you are struggling and are ready for change, call or email me. I understand you. I offer evening appointments. You do not have to struggle alone. I am here for you.
Take the first step to help. Call or Dr. Alma Castaneda now - (956) 395-2603

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
