Resilient Minds, Compassionate Care
Empowering Women Across Texas with Personalized Counseling
About Me
My name is Cecilia, and I’m here to support women through the complexities of life with understanding and compassion. I approach my work from a social justice lens and honor your lived experiences.
My Approach to Counseling
I believe in living authentically despite societal pressures. My counseling, grounded in social justice, provides a safe, empathetic space for sensitive topics. I use techniques like CBT, EMDR, ACT, and mindfulness to offer practical tools for overcoming challenges and building resilience.
Core Values
My practice is shaped by my lived experience as a Latina and a mother, alongside a strong commitment to:
Equal Access to Civil Rights: Advocating for every individual’s right to dignity and respect.
Bodily Autonomy: Supporting your freedom to make choices about your body and life.
Challenging Patriarchal Norms: Breaking down societal expectations of what women's behavior "should" look like
Who I Am Beyond the Therapy Room
I’ve been a licensed counselor since 2012, gaining extensive experience in Children’s Advocacy Centers, group practices, and bereavement support. San Antonio is where I call home, sharing my life with my husband, our two boys, and three fur babies. When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying scary movies, hiking, or taking spontaneous trips to the beach with my family.

"I have deep respect for the meaningful experiences of womanhood that are often minimized by society, especially motherhood guilt and burnout."
Counseling is available both in-office and via telehealth. Texas residents may call or text (210) 570-7154 to schedule your free 15-minute consultation today.
The Story and Symbolism of Our Name and Logo
Seeds of Resilience embodies the spirit of the quote, "They tried to bury us, they did not know we were seeds," symbolizing our innate ability to grow and persevere despite challenges. Inspired by my identity as a Latina woman and mother, the practice’s name and logo honor indigenous roots and ancestral connections. The hummingbird represents hope and joy, while the marigold signifies an invitation to our ancestors to guide us. The earthy color palette reflects the grounding power of nature and our journey toward resilience and growth.
