“Este lugar es para ti.
You deserve support.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but finding support shouldn’t add to that stress. I created Cielito Counseling and Wellness, PLLC as a space where women can feel seen, supported, and accepted exactly as they are- without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.

My name is Monica Gutierrez, and I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and Texas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing compassionate, trauma-informed therapy to women across Texas. I am a Perinatal Mental Health Certified provider (PMH-C) certified through Postpartum Support Internation- the Gold Standard in perinatal care accredited by the National Commission for Accreditation Agencies (NCAA).

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine connection. Together, we’ll take the time to understand your story, identify what matters most to you, and create meaningful steps toward healing and growth.

Using evidence-based approaches, practical tools, and somatic-informed interventions, our work will focus on helping you navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, motherhood, relationship challenges, grief, and seasons of feeling stuck. Therapy is not about perfection- it’s about creating space to heal, grow, and build a life that feels more grounded and aligned with who you are.

You deserve healing.
Tú te lo mereces.”

-Monica Gutierrez, LPC, PMH-C, CCTP II, NCC
