Our Mission & Values
Our Mission
Strengthening Wellness, PLLC is a clinical practice that actively empowers individuals, educates counseling professionals, and engages with communities to enhance the counseling field.
The Vision
We envision a community-forward wellness & counseling practice to empower clients, community, and clinicians in order to improve equitable access to quality mental health wellness services.
Our Values are Rooted in:
Equitable Care & Liberation: Healing is a social justice issue and to overcome struggles is to restore what may have been lost, to reclaim what has been stolen, and to recenter room for growth and wellness.
Allyship & Advocacy: We are committed to supporting the historically excluded and intentionally marginalized. Beyond this, Strengthening Wellness is actively serving as co-conspirators as advocates against injustices and are actively anti-racist in their work, teachings, and community efforts. Performative allyship in the form of inaction does not support and can only harm the very communities we strive to help and support.
Clinical Excellence: All persons seeking help deserve the best in wellness care and we expand beyond our systemic book knowledge to tend to the whole person to provide our clients and community our best helper selves in our spaces.
Compassionate Caring: We bring empathy and care to the forefront of all our services and engagements and so encourage compassion for all.
Community: We seek collaboration with other agencies, other healers, and community partners as we are not separate or above our communities; we are inherently a part of our community.
Company History
Strengthening Wellness, PLLC started in January of 2021 offering virtual supervision services for LPC Associates in the state of Texas. Strengthening Wellness expanded into a three-fold practice in July of 2024 where we can empower growing professionals, strengthen the community with wellness, and positively impact our worlds.
We are also a Latina & woman owned office dedicated to amplifying the voices & experiences of marginalized and excluded communities. We created an affirming space for people seeking support and the ability to come to therapy as they are. We provide authentic, culturally attuned therapy that is led by trusting our clients’ experiences and their ideal versions of wellness.

Land Acknowledgement
We are writing to you from the geographic area colonized as south Texas, which was stolen from the Lipan Apache, Karankawa, and others whose tribal and nations' names have been erased by colonizers, war, and disease. As counselors, we acknowledge the disruption of Indigenous relationships to land and water and we also accept the truth that Indigenous people all over the world continue to suffer under the effects of oppression while we all benefit from the power and privilege of the oppressor. We thank the Indigenous Peoples for stewarding these Lands for generations. We pay respect to the Elders, past, present, and future. We acknowledge we occupy and participate in continued exploitation of Lands that are not native to us.
