PTSD/Trauma
Courtney Loyola
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in complex trauma and PTSD, including childhood trauma, relational trauma, and long-term emotional abuse. Using EMDR and attachment-based therapy, we process unresolved experiences so they no longer drive current triggers, anxiety, or relationship patterns. Healing focuses on nervous system regulation, integration, and restoring a sense of safety and empowerment.

PTSD/Trauma
Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
Trauma is not only what happened in the past but how your nervous system learned to respond afterward. You may understand logically that you are safe yet still feel on edge, reactive in relationships, or pulled into old emotional states quickly. Triggers often seem disproportionate even when you can explain them.
Using EMDR and attachment-based work, therapy helps process experiences that your brain still treats as present. Rather than repeatedly retelling the story, we help your system update how it holds those memories so reactions gradually become less intense and more choiceful. The goal is not to erase the past but to allow it to stay in the past so daily life requires less vigilance.

Trauma can result from various situations or events that are life threatening. While some individuals might have survived a traumatic upbringing or recent incident, they might find themselves still struggling in new ways or even repeating similar trauma patterns in their lives. If you're still struggling with deep pain from childhood or recent traumatic events, it's ok to reach out for help in your healing journey.

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.
