Professional statement

Messina Delgado is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (#93296 and supervised by Stamatis Bogdanos #64556) who is always ready to listen and learn.

The tools used, in sessions with Messina, are done with cultural considerations, and by acknowledging the extra burdens social constructs and systemic environments put on you. She will start by listening and being a witness to your story. With your consent, Messina will begin to use therapeutic tools to assist you in taking an objective stance in your story, and in offering yourself compassion. Continuing through developing and honing in on how you understand your experience through strengthening the connection between your mind and body.

Messina is also trained in and has used EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) with children, teens, adults of both the neurodiverse (Autism, ADHD, etc.) and neurotypical populations. EMDR is used in session, with your consent, when you feel the need to address larger internal hurdles such as phobias or trauma(s) (also known as PTSD or C-PTSD).

Sessions with Messina can be done in-person or online, and are available for residents of Texas Please message her about openings.


Message to clients

Our time together will be spent figuring the aspects- emotional, intellectual, sensory-based, and behavioral- of life through out your own story. Growing into learning how to listen to yourself so you can trust what it is you know, and what it is you need will be at the core of each session so that the feelings of stress, overwhelm, anxiousness, depression no longer keep you detached from yourself.

All of the work will be done at your pace and with your specific needs in mind. I am an affirming counselor and believe counseling should be for everyone. I understand the systemic pressure that can have you trying to “get it right!” A benefit to you may be my stance on de-stigmatizing mental health by avoiding rigid diagnoses and accepting that there is more than one way to live and thrive in this/your world.  I will be ready when you are. Until then, good luck on your search.
