Therapy for Boundaries, Relationships & Emotional Healing
I help teens & adults who feel emotionally unsupported in their relationships learn how to regulate their emotions, set boundaries, and feel more in control of their lives.
You’re not too sensitive, you may just need to start reevaluating your environment.
If you find yourself:
Saying yes when you want to say no
Always excusing everyone’s behavior
Feeling unsupported
Feeling overwhelmed by your emotions
Struggling to communicate your needs
Repeating the same relationship patterns
Not prioritizing self-care
You’re not alone and you don’t have to keep living this way.
Remember, your relationships should be building you up, not tearing you down.

About Me
Hi, I’m Samantha Alaniz, LPC-Associate, owner of Grateful Mind Counseling PLLC and I am a Latina therapist located in McAllen, Texas.
I work with teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck especially in patterns like people-pleasing, emotional reactivity, and relationship challenges.
My approach is warm, supportive, and focused on helping you build real-life skills you can actually use outside of therapy. I incorporate DBT-informed techniques to help you feel more in control, more confident, and more connected.
