Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
With a strong foundation as a former school counselor and over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in working with children and adolescents navigating the emotional, academic, and social complexities of growing up. My approach is developmentally sensitive, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges young people face—whether it's anxiety, mood concerns, peer relationships, academic pressures, identity exploration, or family dynamics.
My background gives me a nuanced perspective on the systems that impact adolescents and allows me to bridge the gap between home, school, and therapy. I am especially passionate about helping teens build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience, while also empowering families with strategies to support their child’s growth.

Carol S Sepulveda
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, Registered Play Therapist
Play is our first language. Just as adults use words to communicate, children use play. When playing, we express thoughts and feelings that might otherwise remain hidden. Play Therapy is a powerful tool for addressing cognitive, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Play is a natural process that builds trust, fosters acceptable behaviors, regulates emotions, reduces anxieties and elevates self-esteem.

Amarillo sits at the heart of the Texas Panhandle — a vast agricultural and energy-producing region — with a therapy community shaped by its role as the commercial and medical center for a large, largely rural surrounding population. The city's predominantly conservative, faith-oriented culture means spiritually integrated therapy is a mainstream part of the local offering rather than a specialty niche. Baptist St. Anthony Health System and Northwest Texas Healthcare System provide institutional mental health anchors for the Panhandle region, with a private therapy community that serves both city residents and clients traveling in from smaller surrounding communities. Amarillo's significant Hispanic population and growing refugee and immigrant communities create ongoing demand for bilingual and culturally informed therapists.
