Frequently Asked Questions

  • At A Healing Breath Counseling & Consulting, I provide trauma-informed online therapy tailored to meet the needs of adults and teens (ages 16+). My practice is rooted in a deep understanding of how trauma impacts the brain and nervous system, particularly for those who have experienced "survival mode." To support your healing, I integrate specialized interventions including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) "Parts Work," and Sandtray Therapy. These techniques are highly effective in both virtual and in-person settings. Additionally, I facilitate workshops for parents focused on positive discipline and offer specialized support for individuals navigating domestic violence recovery and migration-related challenges.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call via email. Phone calls are welcome, however do to the nature of this work, I can’t always answer the phone, please leave a voicemail. We’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • What sets my practice apart is the fusion of professional clinical expertise with a lifetime of lived experience. Having immigrated from Ecuador to the United States at age 14, I personally understand the complexities of migration grief, cultural adaptation, and the beauty of bilingualism. I am proud to offer therapy in both English and Spanish, ensuring you can express your deepest emotions in the language that feels most natural to you. I am truly genuine, non-judgmental, and deeply compassionate. I utilize powerful, research-based modalities like EMDR, Parts Work (IFS), and SandTray Therapy that go beyond traditional talk therapy. There is a profound beauty in these approaches; they are designed to work with the brain and nervous system to heal trauma at its roots rather than just managing symptoms. By using these evidence-based techniques, I help clients move out of "survival mode" and toward a state of lasting emotional regulation and self-acceptance.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly usually within one or two business day.

  • At A Healing Breath, we believe that everyone deserves a safe space to heal, regardless of their financial situation. We want to make sure therapy is something you can reach and afford, so we offer three simple ways to pay for your sessions across Texas:

    If you are in a position to invest fully in your mental health, our Standard Rate of $140 per session is the best way to jumpstart your growth and get the focused care you deserve. For those going through a difficult time and needing extra financial grace, we offer a Sliding Scale of $65 per session to make sure you don't have to choose between your well-being and your bills. Finally, if you are truly ready to commit to long-term healing but need a predictable way to fit it into your budget, we offer an Income-Based Monthly Plan. This plan ranges from $105 to $225 per month and is perfect for dedicated clients who want to stay consistent with their therapy while keeping costs manageable. Because this plan is based on what you earn, we just ask for a simple proof of income to get you started. No matter which path you choose, we are here to support you with open arms.

  • We try to keep this process as simple and private as possible. Usually, a recent pay stub, a tax return (W-2), or a bank statement showing your regular deposits is all we need. Once we verify your income, we can set your monthly rate and get started on your healing journey.

  • Absolutely. Life happens, and we understand that your financial needs might change. If you start at the Standard Rate but experience a change in income, just let us know. We can discuss moving you to the Sliding Scale or the Income-Based Monthly Plan so that your therapy remains a consistent part of your life.

  • Not at all. At A Healing Breath, every single client receives the same high level of professional care, compassion, and expertise. Whether you are paying the Standard Rate or utilizing our Sliding Scale, or Income-Based Monthly Plan, our commitment to your healing remains our top priority.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
