Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
People who identify as highly sensitive often notice and process more than others around them. You may pick up on subtle emotional shifts, feel overwhelmed in busy environments, or need more recovery time after social interactions. Over time, this sensitivity can start to feel like a flaw rather than a trait, especially if you’ve been told you are “too much,” “too emotional,” or “overthinking.”
In therapy, we don’t try to remove sensitivity. Instead, we help your nervous system feel less constantly overstimulated and develop boundaries that don’t require shutting yourself down. Sensitivity can become more manageable when your system no longer stays on alert and you no longer have to analyze everything to stay safe.

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Highly sensitive people often experience emotions, relationships, sensory input, and stress more intensely than others. This can be a strength, but it can also lead to overwhelm, self-doubt, difficulty with boundaries, or feeling misunderstood. In therapy, I help highly sensitive clients better understand their needs, recognize patterns that contribute to emotional exhaustion, and develop practical ways to protect their energy without withdrawing from the people and experiences that matter to them. The goal is to build greater self-trust, resilience, and confidence while learning to work with your sensitivity rather than against it.

Rosa Martins - Rosa Martins Therapy
Life Coach, Systemic Therapist, Family Constellation Practitioner
Being highly sensitive is not a flaw — it's a way of experiencing the world at depth. But without the right support, it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. I work with highly sensitive clients to understand their nervous system, identify the emotional and ancestral patterns that amplify their experience, and develop tools — including HeartMath HRV biofeedback — to build resilience without losing the gift of their sensitivity.

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.
