Mayra Trejo, M.S.,LPC-Associate

I am a bilingual counselor who is passionate about serving people in different developmental stages, who need guidance and support navigating their current challenges. I work with all ages groups, Including individuals with disabilities, LGBTQ+, and Spanish-speaking individuals. I have a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and a Masters of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of Texas at Tyler. I now hold a Professional Counselor Associate license in Texas and under the current supervision of Dr, Melanie Roudkovski. I value a therapy experience that respects your values, culture. I believe counseling can help to unlock people’s full potential and I consider safety, acceptance, and compassion as important within a therapeutic relationship. My aim is to navigate the psychological barriers that create disconnection and establish new patterns. I believe we must learn to overcome the challenges that are thrown at each of us while examining and understanding our own patterns and defenses. I will help you face current life stressors or confront past trauma so that you may begin living more fully in the present. I use a combination of modalities and techniques based on the clients needs. I believe that besides providing a safe space to process, healing can also come through psycho-education, altering behavioral patterns as well as community engagement. Outside of the counseling office, I enjoy time adventuring around East Texas's beautiful nature and creating memories with my family and friends.
