New clients for Fall 2024

Holaaa! My name is Manatesha Argueta, but you can call me Manny!  I’m your Clinical Intern ready to bring some serious, positive vibes your way 😊

I’m on a mission to make therapy an inviting experience.  As a collaborative therapist, I’m not here to provide you with all the solutions.  Instead, I will walk alongside you as you discover your own unique journey towards healing and self-growth.  I’m all about creating a laid-back and judgment-free space where you can kick back, be yourself, and let it all out.  Life can be a rollercoaster, and I am here to ride it with you.  Together, we will navigate the twists and turns to help you find the inner strength to thrive. 

Currently, I am pursuing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL), and let me tell you, it’s been one wild ride!  But hey, what’s life without a little adventure, right?  I will be working towards my licensure under the supervision of Mallory Striesfeld, LPC-S, LMFT-Associate.  Through my experience, I have worked with clients on their journeys through anxiety, depression, grief, relational difficulties, and self-exploration.  I have a focus on working with diverse populations and understand the importance of cultural sensitivity.  Our differences make us who we are, and I’m passionate about creating a safe and inclusive space where you feel valued and heard. 

In my free time, you’ll often find me jamming to my favorite tunes, enjoying sweat sessions at the gym, spending quality time with loved ones and my two fur babies, or traveling somewhere tropical.  While I take therapeutic work seriously, I am a firm believer in prioritizing self-care and enjoying the little things.  After all, life is meant to be lived to the fullest! 

Let’s connect and walk this transformative journey together.  I look forward to meeting you soon for your FREE 15-minute consultation or first session together.  Your story matters, and I can’t wait to be a part of it!
