Becoming — Not Broken.
You've found yourself researching 'Am I a narcissist?' in the middle of the night, you have constant questions as to 'How did I get here?' and 'Why do these things keep happening to me?' You've lost someone very close to you and now you are spinning out and can't seem to find your feet. You keep repeating patterns that bring the same people into your life and leave you in pieces after they've left. You're ready to change, you just don't know how or where to start.
I believe healing is not about fixing what’s wrong with you, but uncovering the strength and resilience that have always been there. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by complex trauma, narcissistic abuse, or deep grief. Together, we create a safe, grounded space where painful experiences can be processed and integrated — not avoided. Our work is centered on helping you reconnect with your voice, your clarity, and your capacity for secure relationships.

Matthew Jones
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSCC, LPC
I began to pursue being a therapist because it is a source of healing and understanding and I want to help nurture that in others. I believe in paying it forward. There is a need to provide affordable and accessible mental health care. Therapy is a tool by which people can grow in the understanding of themselves and the world around them. IT is important to provide ethical and reliable care to those who want and need it. I try to guide the patient through the therapeutic experience by providing REST (Respect, Equality, Safety, and Trust.) This is one of the basic principles that I believe creates a healthy relationship. Come join me a safe space.

Sauna Therapy | A Boutique Mental Health Studio | Paige Swanson
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC
What the Caterpillar Calls the End of Life, the Master Calls the Butterfly. – Richard Bach This was the first sentence of my personal statement which got me into Northwestern University where I got my graduate degree. Psychotherapy changes hearts and ignites transformation in an individual; the same way that the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. In therapy, I get to watch people grow into magical, beautiful, bright-winged butterflies. I hope that Sauna can be a place for us to be human together. To self-inquire and get curious about ourselves. To know that even in the darkness – you’re not alone.

Melinda Switzer - Beauty for Ashes Trauma Therapy and Treatment
Counselor/Therapist, Melinda Switzer, MA, LPC, NCC
As one who has experienced complex trauma myself, I believe I can relate to my clients’ experiences and needs. My philosophy is no one should have to live under the shadow of trauma and how it affects the body. Trauma can be tough on survivors, but there is help and hope for healing. Most trauma victims exhibit some signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This can lead to Anxiety, Depression, Disassociation, and a myriad of other mental illnesses. These are the areas I specialize in by offering healing and hope to my clients allowing them to be in control of their trauma and not their trauma being in control of them. Strong mental health is so important and can change the trajectory of your life by helping you go from debilitating disorders to manageable and healthy mental health.

McAllen is the largest city in the Rio Grande Valley, a predominantly Spanish-speaking border region where the daily realities of life on the US-Mexico border—immigration, family separation, cross-border economic uncertainty, and the psychological stress of living in a highly scrutinized border community—shape the mental health landscape in ways that are unlike those of any other part of Texas. Spanish-language therapy is not merely preferred but essential in McAllen, and the demand for bilingual practitioners far outpaces supply in a region that is chronically underserved for mental health professionals per capita. The Rio Grande Valley ranks among the most underserved regions in the country for mental health care, and while health systems like DHR Health and South Texas Health System provide some behavioral health services, many residents go without needed support. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related anxiety and trauma, family separation stress, economic uncertainty, and the complex identity challenges of life in a bicultural, binational border community.
