Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Struggles with gambling can affect not just finances, but self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. I provide a supportive, judgment-free environment to help individuals understand the emotional and behavioral drivers behind compulsive gambling. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention strategies, and emotional regulation tools, we work together to regain control, rebuild trust, and create healthier coping mechanisms. Recovery is possible—with the right support, change can start today.

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.
