About Me

My name is Mauro Angel Peña, M.Ed., LPC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with individuals and families, particularly those impacted by trauma. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, with a strong emphasis on building trust, safety, and empowerment. I specialize in working with trauma through EMDR and have extensive experience supporting clients referred by Child Protective Services, including those facing challenges related to domestic violence, parenting, emotional regulation, and stress. I understand that life can be busy and complicated, which is why I’m committed to being accessible to my clients. I offer flexible scheduling and am eager to work with clients after hours and on weekends to ensure they get the support they need, when they need it.

Education & Experience

With over 10 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor and 24 years in the field of education, I bring deep insight, compassion, and experience to every session. I hold a Master’s in Guidance and Counseling from UTPA and am EMDR-trained, with a special focus on trauma recovery. I currently provide counseling services to children, teens, and adults through both school-based and clinical settings. My work includes helping clients heal from trauma, navigate life challenges, and build healthier relationships. I also specialize in working with CPS-involved families, supporting them in creating safe, nurturing environments. Whether you're seeking support for emotional healing or growth, I'm committed to walking with you - at your pace and on your terms.
