Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
What makes me a good fit for you?
With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've sat with hundreds of people in some of their hardest moments — and I've lived through a few of my own.
I know anxiety from the inside. I've felt that restless, relentless weight, and I've done the work to move through it. That means when you describe what you're carrying, I'm not just nodding from a textbook — I genuinely get it.
As a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, I also bring something that no training alone can give: the real, daily experience of loving and advocating for a neurodiverse family member. Whether you're a parent navigating that road or an individual on the spectrum yourself, you'll find in me someone who understands your world with both professional knowledge and personal heart.
For couples, I'm certified in the Gottman Method — one of the most research-backed approaches to relationship healing — which means our work together is grounded in what actually helps partnerships grow, not just survive.
I show up warm, real, and fully present. My clients tell me they feel heard in a way they haven't before. If you're looking for a therapist who brings both clinical depth and lived humanity to the room — and who welcomes faith as part of the journey when that matters to you — I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Avery Wageman Passion Flower Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I believe that every person deserves a safe and supportive space to feel heard, understood, and accepted. Life can bring challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, but you don't have to navigate those experiences alone. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment while building the tools and confidence needed to move forward.
I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy, recognizing that each person's journey is unique. Together, we'll identify your strengths, address obstacles, and work toward meaningful goals that align with your values and needs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth, I am committed to supporting you every step of the way.
I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they discover healing, resilience, and new possibilities for their lives. My hope is that our work together helps you feel empowered, connected, and capable of creating positive change.

Laredo is one of the most culturally unified US-Mexico border cities in the country — with a population that is over 95% Hispanic and where Spanish is the dominant language of daily life — making bilingual, bicultural therapists not a specialty but an essential baseline for meaningful access to care. The city's economy is driven by international trade and logistics, with one of the busiest land ports in the United States, and therapists frequently address the occupational stress of commercial transport workers alongside the immigration stress experienced by families maintaining ties on both sides of the border. Laredo Medical Center and the Laredo VA Outpatient Clinic provide institutional resources, while the therapy community overall is relatively sparse compared to the population's scale. Webb County's concentration of poverty and social stress amplifies the need for community-accessible mental health services.
