Getting to know Amaris Cuellar

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas specializing in trauma-focused therapy, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I work primarily with adults who feel stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship patterns, or long-standing beliefs that no longer serve them. Many of my clients have tried traditional talk therapy before but are ready for deeper processing and meaningful change. EMDR allows us to move beyond just talking about the past and begin reprocessing experiences so they no longer feel as activating or overwhelming. My approach is direct, collaborative, and grounded in nervous system awareness. I provide a space that is supportive but honest — where growth isn’t rushed, but it is intentional.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding your history, current stressors, and goals. If EMDR is appropriate, we’ll begin preparing your nervous system and building the tools needed to safely process difficult experiences. Therapy with me is structured and purposeful. You can expect warmth, clarity, and occasional challenge when it supports your growth. My goal is not just symptom relief, but long-term shifts in how you relate to yourself and your experiences.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our work begins with a comprehensive intake session where we explore your history, current stressors, and therapy goals. I complete a clinical assessment to better understand patterns related to anxiety, trauma responses, relationships, or other concerns. In early sessions, we focus on stabilization — building coping tools, strengthening nervous system regulation, and identifying themes that are contributing to distress. If EMDR is appropriate, we move into a structured preparation phase to ensure the process feels safe and manageable. Once prepared, we begin reprocessing targeted experiences using EMDR. This allows us to shift how distressing memories are stored so they feel less emotionally charged and less intrusive in daily life. Throughout therapy, we regularly review goals, track progress, and adjust the treatment plan as needed. My approach integrates structured trauma work with practical tools so you leave sessions feeling both supported and equipped.
