Cesar Monagas
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC-Associate & NCC
My ideal client is someone who is seeking personal growth and emotional clarity but feels stuck due to unhelpful thought patterns or overwhelming life challenges. They may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship issues, or difficulty managing stress. What they truly need is a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their feelings openly and begin to understand themselves better. Their goals often center around developing healthier coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and building stronger, more authentic connections with others. Ultimately, they want to lead a happier, more fulfilling life.
I offer compassionate, culturally responsive support for those facing crises, suicidal ideation, trauma, or emotional struggles. With experience as a crisis line specialist, I help clients build coping skills and resilience. As a Hispanic therapist, I provide services in English and Spanish, supporting marginalized and Spanish-speaking communities.
I know it is hard and scary to make this step towards healing. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, compassionate space to explore your story, process your pain, and discover your strengths. I’ll meet you where you are and help you grow at your pace toward healing, understanding, and a more authentic you.

Shaina Peng
Counselor/Therapist, LPC Associate, supervised by Frank Cohn (LPC-S)
Hi, my name is Shaina with Sunrise Counseling Austin! I’m an insight-oriented and relational therapist in Austin, Texas.
The people I work with are thoughtful, emotionally layered individuals seeking both symptom relief and a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the patterns underneath what they feel.
My approach is insight-oriented and active. I pay close attention to what’s happening beneath the surface and ask questions that help gently unpack emotions, contradictions, defenses, and relational dynamics in a way that feels exploratory rather than clinical or detached. I’m especially interested in the relationship people have with themselves: the parts that long deeply, protect themselves, overthink, idealize connection, yearn for growth, or feel disconnected despite wanting deeper meaning. Therapy is a space to better understand those inner patterns, build self-trust, and create relationships that feel more grounded, connected, and emotionally sustainable.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you find yourself feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Marylouise Kuti with MKB Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Therapy is most effective when it feels safe, honest and attuned. Our work is rooted in inclusivity, creating a space where people feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment or shame. Combining evidence-based modalities, integrated approaches and using a sex-positive lens we center on your story, relationships, patterns, desires for change, and what matters most to you - honoring your experiences with family, partners, and broader systems while exploring the impacts that have shaped how you navigate the world, respond to stress, and relate to others and yourself.

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.
