Living in Haltom City often feels like you’re right in the middle of everything. We are the connector between Fort Worth and the Mid-Cities, with life moving fast along Denton Highway and Belknap Street. But when you are dealing with trauma or PTSD, that constant motion—the noise from Loop 820, the busy industrial parks, and the rush of daily life—can feel overwhelming.
I know that for many residents here, from Birdville to Browning Heights, life is about hard work and resilience. But sometimes, "powering through" isn't enough. If you find yourself feeling on edge, unable to sleep, or constantly replaying painful memories, you don’t have to carry that weight alone.
My name is Anamile Guerra. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, and I provide online trauma and PTSD counseling specifically for adults across Texas, including right here in Haltom City.
When You Can’t Just "Shake It Off"
Trauma has a way of lingering long after an event has passed. You might feel fine one minute, only to be triggered by something small the next—a sudden loud noise near the railway tracks, a chaotic merge on Airport Freeway, or even just a crowded grocery store on a Sunday.
In a tight-knit community like ours, where families often know each other through the Birdville ISD schools or local church groups, it can be hard to admit you are struggling. You might worry about being judged or feeling like you’re the only one who can’t "get over it."
I help clients navigate these feelings. Whether your trauma stems from a past accident, a difficult relationship, workplace stress, or childhood experiences, we can work together to help you regain your sense of safety.
Why Online Therapy Works for Haltom City
Let’s be honest: traffic around here can be a nightmare. The construction on Loop 820 and the congestion on 377 are stressful enough on a good day. The last thing you need when you’re heading to a therapy session is to be stuck in gridlock near Northeast Loop.
Telehealth allows you to skip the commute entirely. You can meet with me from the comfort of your home, whether you’re near Haltom High or closer to Fossil Creek.
- No driving: Avoid the stress of Hwy 121 or Belknap during rush hour.
- Total Privacy: In a community where you might run into a neighbor at the Haltom City Public Library or the grocery store, online therapy offers a discreet way to get help without sitting in a local waiting room.
- Comfort: Process difficult emotions in your own space, with your own blanket, tea, or pet nearby.
Counseling in English and Spanish / Consejería en Español
I know that Haltom City is a beautifully diverse community with a strong Hispanic presence. Language should never be a barrier to healing.
I am fluent in both English and Spanish. If you or a loved one feels more comfortable expressing emotions in Spanish, I can provide that space. Sometimes, trauma is tied to experiences that are best described in your native language, and I am here to listen and understand you fully.
(Soy bilingüe y ofrezco servicios de consejería en español. Si se siente más cómodo hablando en su idioma natal, estoy aquí para apoyarlo).
My Approach to Healing
I don't believe in a "one size fits all" fix. We are all different. Under the supervision of Jennifer Gonzalez, MS, LPC-S, and Amanda Varnon, MA, LPC-S, I use a mix of evidence-based approaches to help you move forward.
- Trauma-Informed Care: We move at your pace. I will never force you to share more than you are ready to.
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We look at the negative thought patterns that keep you stuck and work to change them.
- Solution-Focused: We identify what is working in your life and build on those strengths to find practical solutions.
My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can let your guard down. You don't have to be "tough" in our sessions. You just have to be you.
