Getting to know Barbara Magallanes

Hi there, I'm Barbara! Hello. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Barbara Magallanes, and I have been a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas for over thirty years. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. I am also trained in Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy and have utilized regressive hypnosis extensively to heal inner child wounds. I came to South Texas as a VISTA Volunteer (a domestic peace corps program) working as a grassroots organizer for a battered women's shelter and rape crisis center. This experience sparked my passion for helping others overcome trauma and abuse. My professional background includes supporting people through mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, and trauma. I have a no-nonsense, non-judgmental approach to therapy. I am down to earth and easy to talk to. I believe that people generally do the best they can with the resources they have at the time. I also believe that ?mistakes are for learning? and that through our struggles, we discover the best in ourselves. It takes courage to examine the darker parts of our histories and to learn from our past and present ?mistakes? to become better versions of ourselves. My approach My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to the individual's needs and style. I take a holistic view, believing that our physiology greatly impacts our minds, emotions, and behavioral choices. I combine elements of cognitive-behavioral theory, developmental psychology, attachment theory, and existential psychology. I believe each of us comes to life with a soul and struggles to understand our place in the scheme of life. I see shame as a soul injury and the root cause of self-destructive patterns. I teach self-compassion as an antidote to shame. With extensive training in Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy, I integrate this into my work to support healing and growth.
