Mercedez Fuentes, is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Dianne Feria, LPC-S. Mercedez has experience providing therapeutic services to teens, adults, and families navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and identity exploration. She has worked in community mental health settings, including with high-risk youth, which has deepened her belief in the power of resilience and storytelling.
Mercedez’s goal as a therapist is to help clients build lives that feel meaningful and authentic. She strives to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel both supported and gently challenged. Her approach is integrative and person-centered, drawing from Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. She believes that clients hold within themselves the strengths and resources needed for change and works alongside them to help unlock these capacities.
Mercedez’s specialty areas include working with teens ages 13 and up, family therapy, anxiety and trauma management, and supporting individuals exploring identity and life transitions. She offers both in-person sessions and online teletherapy services to clients located in Texas and is LGBTQIA+ affirming, dedicated to helping people from all
communities gain access to positive mental health and well-being.
