Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities.

Biography: When we want to change, developing emotional awareness helps the healing process. I have held space with my clients to discover this for 18 years using a variety of techniques from Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sometimes who we need is a collaborator and coach and at other times someone to validate our experience and I will be this for you. I believe the quality of our working relationship is essential to the quality of your outcomes and we will make sure to incorporate this feedback. Ultimately I would like you to say everything. Many of the people I have worked with over the years have had experiences with substance use or feeling marginalized by how they identify. Together we will develop strategies towards resilience and steps toward change.

Biography: We live in busy times with many responsibilities as students, workers, children, and as a parent, or any combination of these. It is easy to become overworked, set high expectations of ourselves, and can become exhausted with our own efforts, struggling to find purpose, optimism, and motivation. I believe that when we slow down and have someone to check in with, we can find our way back to what we believe is our path, our purpose, and/or be more present in our lives. Checking in with our habits, behaviors and our emotions and intuition can tell us if and when we are thriving in life. I also believe in the resilience and capacity for growth within every individual, however, sometimes due to trauma or patterns of behavior, we become stuck. One may know their behavior is unhealthy or preventing growth, yet unaware of how to change. The process of therapy is exploring what is stopping you from living your best life and offering support and guidance to make changes. I have experience helping clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, adjustment to life transitions, relationship issues, and parenting concerns. My therapeutic style is collaborative, person-centered, and solution focused. I am friendly, passionate, optimistic, and show up authentically in the therapy room. I frequently use a psychodynamic approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT/DBT/ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

Biography: My name is Graciela Rios. I have been a working in the mental health field in El Paso, Tx. since 2006. I have extensive training working with individuals as well as families. I have specialized training in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy) as well as CAPACITAR -which utilizes "holistic wellness practices that help people tap into the wisdom of their own body, mind and spirit". I have been trained to treat depression, anxiety, grief and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) I truly believe everybody has the power to overcome life challenges if they learn how to utilize their inner resources.

Biography: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 5 years of experience working with diverse populations that span from young to older adults. I understand and value that every person is unique with different life experiences. Because of that, I aim to provide empathetic and trauma-informed approaches that are specifically tailored to each individual. I believe in every person's capacity for change and healing, especially when provided with the right tools, strategies, knowledge, and understanding. My therapy style is warm, non-judgmental, at times humorous, and collaborative. I approach each session through a person-centered perspective, which means I strive to empower each client as the expert of their own lives. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. Through collaborative efforts, I aim to provide relevant psychoeducation based on each client's needs and establishing individualized goals that foster growth and healing. Together, we would navigate through difficult experiences, work to bolster self-worth, cultivate mindfulness, and develop effective coping strategies for any presenting concern or symptoms. Additionally, we would begin to identify, understand, and change any unpleasant thoughts and emotions, and unhelpful behavior patterns that may be contributing to present distress. Ultimately, my objective is to support and meet each person where they are at, without judgment, to help assist in creating sustainable, realistic changes and alleviate distressing symptoms which can allow for a more meaningful, authentic life. I hope that we can work together can create a sense of empowerment and healing to navigate personal and life challenges with resilience and authenticity to successfully reclaim control over your life.

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the clients convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*
