Meet Our Founder
Johanna Torres, MS, LPC-S
“I dreamed of this practice for a long time, and I’m so grateful I was able to move past my own worries & insecurities to take the steps I needed to get here. In my early career, I worked far more than I needed to, was in a peak people-pleasing phase, and did all I could to “lean in”, seeking validation and acceptance in organizations, people, and places that couldn’t fulfill my needs. Eventually, my mind and body reached their limit and said, “We’re done.” Before hitting that limit, I ignored many warning signs-generalized anxiety, chronic daily migraines, crying spells, and insomnia-pushing through just as I had been taught and expected to do my entire life. During this challenging time and after lots of denial and resistance, I started working with a therapist who guided me and helped me heal. Through this, I learned two important things: 1. the transformative power of therapy and 2. my desire to share this power with others.
My time in therapy, along with my personal experience with high-functioning anxiety, drives my dedication to helping others navigate this often misunderstood struggle. Coupled with my education and training in clinical psychology, counseling, and anxiety disorders, I am able to provide professional support while truly empathizing with my clients’ experiences.
My therapeutic approach is straightforward. I’m not the therapist who nods and says, “Tell me more about that” — while that method can be effective, it never resonated with me as a high-achieving client. I believe a more interactive and proactive approach is essential for creating meaningful change.
Why Choose Saname Counseling in Brownsville?
We opened this practice to build an affirming space where growth, change, and healing are prioritized for all individuals. At Saname Counseling, we believe in creating a road-map for change that is specific to you, removing the emphasis on traditional “talk therapy”. Our therapists address not only your thoughts but also your behaviors and the connection between your mind and body. Within your first six sessions, you’ll acquire valuable coping skills to ease your symptoms. As you progress in treatment, you’ll delve deeper into enhancing your mind-body connection, fostering self-compassion, healing past wounds, addressing unhealthy attachments, and discovering your authentic self.
Through tailored, targeted interventions, our therapists help you modify behaviors, transform thought patterns, heal traumas, and enhance the mind-body connection. In our 9+ years of counseling experience, clients have shown significant progress after learning about the interconnectedness of their behavioral, cognitive, and somatic experiences. This holistic, action-oriented approach is at the center of our practice.
