Narrative
Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Hi, I'm Shawna. I'm really glad you're here — and I know that finding the right therapist can feel like a lot. My hope is that by the time you finish reading this, you'll have a sense of who I am and whether we might be a good fit.
I work with adults who are carrying things that feel heavy — whether that's the weight of past trauma, the complexity of relationships that keep hitting the same walls, or the experience of moving through a world that wasn't quite designed for the way your brain works. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, and supporting adults with ADHD and autism who are often figuring out a lot about themselves for the first time.
A lot of my clients come to me feeling like something is wrong with them. My job — and honestly, my passion — is helping people see that they've been responding to hard things in the most human ways possible. Healing isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself.
My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I'm not going to sit silently and nod — I show up as a real person in the room with you. Therapy with me tends to feel like an honest, sometimes even humorous conversation, grounded in real tools and genuine care.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Reaching out is the hardest part — and you've already started.

Narrative
Amy-Noelle Shih
Licensed Professional Counselor, Relationship Therapist and Life Coach, LPC, MA
I am a relationship coach and therapist, with an intuitive gift for working with relational dynamics.
What I have learned as a relationship coach and therapist and as a human soul who loves LOVE and the magic of healthy relationships is that it’s not enough to:
❤️love spending time together
❤️share values
❤️have good chemistry
❤️laugh together
❤️have good conversation
❤️genuinely enjoy one another’s company
❤️admire each other’s qualities
❤️feel love.
Yes, all of this is very important.
But if there is a deficit in body intelligence, heart attunement, healthy emotional vulnerability, and self-awareness, the issue will almost always be the same.
Partners may believe the issue is the breakdown of one of the things mentioned above. When the truth is, even the “masters of relationships” have challenges, ruptures, moments of feeling hurt, disappointed, misunderstood. What becomes the salve of reconciliation is the capacity to gain understanding, for deep care of another’s feelings, and a genuine desire to find the sweet spot where empathy and validation become antidotes to stuckness.
As soon as one feels seen and heard, pent-up energy is released, defenses soften, and there is more love, freeing up the barriers to seeking ways to work it out. Which is to say, loving understanding is the solution to finding solutions!
When partners can feel like their feelings and what's on their hearts is worthy of being held with importance and tenderness, then everything becomes more possible. There is new motivation, receptivity, and selfless energy that fills the space between partners. Growth, feeling close, and deeper trust are forged beautifully.
But if partners have fragile egos, cannot practice healthy control of their reactions, choose communication patterns that create more distance and suffering, are not willing to see their part in conflict, and allow their own stories and assumptions to rule their hearts and minds rather than compassionate understanding, then growth and change stall and stagnate.
Without self-awareness and course correction, even what is great about the relationship starts to recede into the background as the pain and disappointment get louder and take center stage, until only negativity seems to run the show.

Narrative
Michelle Martin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, EMDR
I understand that the first step is often the most difficult. Whether you are dealing with feelings of hopelessness, depression, anxiety, a past tragedy, or abuse, know that hope and healing are within reach. You don't have to walk this journey alone. I counsel adults and adolescents who are experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, grief, and loss. Counseling is a safe place where you can learn, grow, and develop the skills needed to navigate the challenges of life.

Narrative
Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With degrees in neuroscience and clinical health psychology, I am passionate about and highly familiar with the links between our brains, our bodies, and our mental and emotional experiences, and I feel deeply privileged to have a career in which I get to share this important knowledge and helping others feel less alone in their journeys. I help individuals and couples with relationship problems like conflict, betrayal, loneliness, and estrangement, as well as the difficult feelings these problems bring. I also specialize in stress and trauma and am passionate about helping people make sense of highly stressful life events. I also love physical activity and strongly believe our mental health is holistic, and we take care of our minds and hearts by taking care of our bodies.
Above all else, my mission is to show up for you as a fellow human who cares about your story and is truly paying attention. Combined with a decade of clinical expertise, I prioritize warmth, authenticity, humor, and kindness. I won’t just sit there and nod. With me, you can expect individual therapy and marital therapy that is quality, research-backed, and tailored to your needs. I strive to be the kind of therapist that I always wanted as a client: someone willing to dive deep and offer enthusiasm and encouragement along the way. You deserve nothing less. see myself as a collaborator, a fellow human who gets what it’s like to struggle and can offer feedback, celebrate your strengths, and help you reach a better understanding of yourself and others. I also value your input and feedback throughout therapy so I can make sure I deliver what you are needing.
6 Years Experience
Online in Laredo, TX Texas
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.
