Four years ago, this practice was just a vision in my heart. Today, it’s a living, breathing space of healing.
To every client who has walked through our doors or logged onto a session… thank you.
Thank you for trusting us with your stories.
Thank you for allowing us to witness your pain, your growth, your resilience.
Thank you for choosing to do the hard work of healing — even when it felt uncomfortable, scary, or uncertain.
It is an honor to hold space for your becoming.
This practice was built on courage — yours and mine. And for four years, I’ve had the privilege of watching people reclaim their voice, set boundaries, break cycles, and choose themselves.
That is sacred work.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for trusting us with your journey. We don’t take it lightly.
Here’s to continued healing, growth, and community. 🤍

Healing starts with us. ✨🖤

Too many in our Black community are suffering in silence. 1 in 5 Black adults experiences a mental health condition each year, yet more than 60% do not receive the support they need. This isn’t just numbers — it’s our parents, our siblings, our youth, our neighbors.

Barriers like stigma, lack of culturally responsive care, historical mistrust, and financial strain have kept many from seeking help. But healing is a revolutionary act. Breaking silence, talking openly, and seeking support is how we reclaim our power and nurture our community.

Let’s show up for each other. Check in with a friend, create safe spaces to talk, and normalize therapy. Every step toward mental wellness is a step toward collective liberation.

You don’t have to carry it alone.

Together, we can heal, thrive, and advocate for a future where mental health in our community is valued, supported, and accessible. 🤎

Anxious attachment can feel like constantly scanning for reassurance, overthinking texts, or fearing that love will disappear if you relax. The truth? Secure, consistent love doesn’t require you to chase, shrink, or silence your needs.

These affirmations are gentle reminders that:
✨ You are worthy of stability.
✨ Your needs are valid.
✨ Love remains, even when you breathe.

Healing attachment patterns isn’t about becoming “less emotional.” It’s about building safety within yourself and choosing relationships that reflect that safety back to you. And that work is possible — at your pace.

If you’re ready to move from anxiety to security in your relationships, we’re here to help.

I have a lot new followers and I wanted to reintroduced myself. My name is Eleny Guerrero Pena the CEO of Courage 2 Overcome Counseling. I am a combat veteran, an Immigrant, a mother, a divorcee and huge social justice advocate

I don’t just ‘do therapy.’ I serve the immigrant and marginalized community. I support LGTBQ, Civil and Reproductive rights. The Underseved communities dealing with chronic homelessness and domestic violence.

People carrying generational trauma. People impacted by systems that were never built for them. People who were taught to survive before they were to heal.

My work is social-justice focused, culturally grounded, and rooted in dignity. Because mental health care should not be a luxury. It’s a human right.

When mental health funding gets cut, it can feel like the ground shifts under you.
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn: your reaction makes sense. And you still have options.

3 places to start when resources feel scarce:
1) Call or text 988 (24/7). You don’t have to be at “rock bottom” to reach out.
2) Community support like NAMI Texas + local peer groups: connection matters, especially right now.
3) Private, trauma-informed therapy can be a stable option even when public programs change.

If you’re in Texas and want to talk through next steps, we’re here.
Call 512-931-1146.
