Hello! Thank you for taking the interest and considering to participate in counseling!
I am a License Professional Counselor in the state of Wyoming with over 10 years of experience working as therapist in the community setting. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, anger management, PTSD, Substance Use Disorders and ADHD.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults. I have facilitated psychoeducational groups for mental health and substance use disorders. I am fluent in English and in Spanish.
I’m passionate about this profession working from a multicultural perspective using different modalities such person-centered, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), acceptance commitment (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focus (SFBT), Play therapy, and Sand therapy.
I believe everyone has a story and deserves to be heard. I believe a person needs to feel empowered to overcome obstacles and have hope for the future and better life. I’m willing to walk beside you and listen to your experiences, providing a safe environment to process your life events, thoughts, emotions, and gain greater insight into your personal experiences. I want you to feel supported, gain greater understanding of your own strengths available within yourself and identify solutions to achieve your goals. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

She was amazing and was so good at listening to my concerns and what I was struggling with and then giving me new tools and skills and giving me the next step to move forward!

Mayra was most helpful in my situation. She gave great advice and plenty of resources to help me. I’m thankful Betterhelp matched me up with her. If I should ever need future counseling, Mayra is the one I will be requesting.

I was very scared to start therapy but knew it was something I needed to do for myself. Miss Mayra has been incredibly helpful and provided proactive resources and reinforcement always. She tells me what I need to hear and helps me work through things that would be otherwise uncomfortable to talk about.
