Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have written a book Overcoming Your Addictions which shows you how to apply the principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and CBT to your self-defeating addictions. To overcome an addiction you first need to learn to accept yourself unconditionally with your addiction. Your self-defeating addictive behavior does not diminish your worth as a person. Putting yourself down will not help you overcome your addiction. Secondly, you need to learn to build your discomfort tolerance for urges, develop a healthy network of friends who will not lead you back to your addiction, and a vitally absorbing interest in life that makes your life meaningful.

Dawn Nelson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW-S, ACSW, SAP, CART
Many people use alcohol and drugs to self-medicate and cope with problems. When the coping mechanism becomes part of the problem, it is time to make a change. An individualized plan is needed to help each person succeed whether it is for abstinence or simply self-control in social situations.

Restoring Hope Counseling & Consulting, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, RPT, NCC, CCPRT
One of our counselors on staff, Allie Austin, has had experience working in a residential treatment program with clients struggling with various types of addictions and comorbid mental health issues. During her time there, she was faced with very challenging cases that deepened her compassion and equipped her to support clients struggling with addiction or clients who have loved ones struggling with addiction. She draws from that formative experience to inform her current treatment plans within our outpatient facility.
10 Years Experience

Brownsville is one of the southernmost cities in the United States and sits directly on the US-Mexico border — sharing the border with Matamoros, Tamaulipas — with a population that is over 90% Hispanic and where Spanish is the dominant language of daily life, making bilingual, bicultural therapy not a specialty but the baseline expectation for meaningful access to care. The city's poverty rate is among the highest in the United States, and therapists here frequently address the compounding effects of economic stress, immigration-related family separation, and the chronic anxiety of border community life. Valley Baptist Medical Center and the UT Health RGV system provide institutional mental health resources for the Rio Grande Valley region. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley's psychology and counseling programs supply clinical training to a region that remains significantly underserved relative to its mental health needs.
