Dr. Karina Luaces
Psychologist, PsyD.
The teenage and young adult years can be some of the most emotionally complex. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where young people can feel truly heard — whether they're navigating self-esteem struggles, peer relationships, school stress, or intense emotions.

Heidi Sawyer, LPC & Career Exploration Coach
Licensed Professional Counselor
The teenage years can be a scary stage of parenting, but with a unique understanding of adolescent development and the challenges that teens face today, I believe it can be an opportunity for parents and teens to find connection. I work with parents who are looking to build a healthier relationship with their adolescent and I work with adolescents ages 15 & up.

Get Whitt Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT- Associate
Young people often struggle to name what they’re feeling — and that’s where therapy can make a difference. I work with children and adolescents who are navigating identity, school pressure, family dynamics, and big emotions. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore who they are and develop the tools to thrive.

Therapy for minors is considered case-by-case. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help direct you to appropriate referrals; parent support sessions may also be an option.

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.
