Hola! I'm glad you have decided to start therapy!
I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over 15+ years of experience in clinical practice in both Mexico & TX. I work with clients facing a variety of challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, self-esteem and confidence struggles, and depression. I am passionate about helping individuals reconnect with themselves and others in a healthier way, rediscover their inner strengths, and recognize the patterns that may be interfering with their growth and well-being.
My therapeutic approach is Existential-Humanistic, and I integrate techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems (IFS), and solution-focused therapy (SFT) when appropriate. I believe in creating a supportive and compassionate space where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and work toward meaningful change.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I'm proud of you! I am here to support you in your journey.
I look forward to meeting you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maria Serrano. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Maria is wonderful. She’s empathetic, a great listener, and offers helpful advice. She does a good job following leads that I bring up to dig into issues I may not have even recognized in myself.
