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.

Melissa Gaa
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-Supervisor
Making the decision to attend counseling can be a difficult one. Many times emotions are hard to control or even understand, while others in your life may not comprehend what you are struggling with. I understand the difficulties of expectations placed upon each of us to hide or suppress emotions. Together, we will work towards growth and positive changes in your life. Whether you are experiencing a temporary setback, or an ongoing problem, I can assist you. My goal is to help you through your challenges that may be creating barriers for you to move forward.

Sarah Sustaita
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS, LPC Associate, LPCC
You understand what’s going on, but your body didn’t get the memo.
You may feel stuck in patterns of pain, shutdown, or overwhelm that don’t match what you know.
I work with individuals (ages 16+) navigating chronic pain, trauma, dissociation, and long-standing stress. Many of the people I work with have already done a lot of thinking about themselves or tried therapy before, but still feel caught in how their body continues to respond.
I help bridge the gap between insight and embodied change. Together, we focus on understanding how these patterns live in both the mind and body, using approaches that support nervous system regulation, processing of unresolved experiences, and increased connection to your internal signals. Through this work, clients often begin to experience shifts not just in how they think, but in how they feel and respond on a day-to-day level.

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.

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.
