Chronic Pain
Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I trained in chronic pain management in many hospitals during my PhD program and beyond. I have since worked in hospitals and clinics for many years before transitioning into private practice. I understand much of the medical lingo and the confusing messaging one can receive from MDs - I can help put you at ease while also teaching you to advocate for yourself around your illness. The biggest component with chronic pain, of course, is acknowledging the interplay between mental and physical pain - "it's all in your head" is a dismissive statement some may hear, but also we work from the truth that pain is somewhat in your head, and that is how a psychologist can help you learn to manage physical pain.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Nicole Montes
Psychologist, PsyD
During graduate school I trained on a chronic pain unit. I understand the unique challenges of living with chronic pain or disability and the impact it can have on client's lives. I use mindfulness based practices to help client's redefine their relationship to pain, we process the grief and loss associated with their health challenges, and navigate how to make life worth living with pain or disability.

Underwood Counseling & Consultation, PLLC / Lucy F. Underwood
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, ACS, BC-TMH, EMDRIA Certified, Qualified ART
Underwood Counseling & Consultation, PLLC has a particular interest in helping children, adolescents, and adults experiencing emotional distress as the result of chronic pain. Research has shown that regulation of mental health systems lowers the experience of physical pain. We are training in the use of CBT, Mindfulness, Stress Reduction, and EMDR/ART to manage, reduce, and in some cases eliminate the emotional pain associated with chronic pain or illness. We have worked extensively with amputees, individuals diagnosed with cancer, burn victims, traumatic accidents, as well as, autoimmune and chronic medical conditions (e.g. HIV/AIDS, Cystic Fibrosis, Multiple Sclerosis, POTS, PANDAS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Diabetes, etc.).

Chronic Pain
Dr. Monica Dyer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, MPH, FNP, PMHNP
As a Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, my passion is helping people feel seen, supported, and understood during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and safe space, and my goal is to offer care that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely human. I am so grateful to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and many other mental health struggles. I provide both medication management and supportive therapeutic care.
For patients healing from trauma, I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a gentle approach that helps people move forward without being overwhelmed by their past. My background includes street medicine, community health, and international humanitarian work, all of which have shaped my respect for the resilience and complexity of the human experience.
I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.

No one likes to feel sick... but what do you do when pain or illness is chronic? How do you not only cope, but choose to thrive and live life, even in the face of a lifelong diagnosis? Together we can face the grief, anger, or fear that you may be experiencing, and together navigate the story you are living. Lea practices from a trauma informed approach, and ultilizes modalities including EMDR.

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.
