Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

Dawn Nelson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW-S, ACSW, SAP, CART
I am caring and non-judgmental; I realize that talking about problems can be difficult; however, clients find that sharing their concerns with an objective therapist enables them to progress to solutions quickly. I recognize that people seek therapy when what they have tried previously did not work.

Kasey Scharnett King
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S, CST
You may find yourself having the same conversations over and over, feeling misunderstood, or noticing distance where there used to be connection. Maybe communication turns into conflict, or things go quiet and unresolved. Intimacy may feel strained, inconsistent, or absent altogether. You care about the relationship, but something isn’t working—and you’re not sure how to change it.
This is a space grounded in intention, honesty, and meaningful connection. You can speak openly here, be challenged with clarity, and begin developing the skills needed to create lasting change in your relationships.
We understand that talking about relationship and intimacy concerns can feel vulnerable. You don’t have to navigate that alone. Our role is to meet you with respect, professionalism, and directness—guiding the conversations that are often difficult to have, but necessary for growth.
You can expect a calm, steady presence and an approach that balances emotional insight with practical tools. This is not about perfection. It is about taking responsibility, increasing awareness, and learning how to show up differently—for yourself and within your relationships.

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.
