Paola Gonzalez Fusilier

Counseling Director
Hola! My name is Paola Gonzalez Fusilier.

I am a trauma therapist with years of experience working with children, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. I work with little clients as young as 2 years old, parents, adults of any age, and families.

My experience at various nonprofits and private practice settings has allowed me to serve clients from all walks of life. Many of my clients have experienced intimate partner or family violence, sexual violence and abuse, childhood trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, family dynamics issues, depression, anxiety, foster care & adoption, educational issues, racial trauma, immigration and acculturation issues, grief and loss, ADHD, and other psychiatric disorders. I have worked collaboratively with support systems, psychiatrists, hospitals, teachers and school officials.

I am a LGBTQ+ ally. I am inclusive of all religions. I have a deep respect for my clients and find the therapeutic journey one of the most sacred experiences.

I believe in the therapeutic power of play and see play as a child’s language with which they process life’s struggles. I am passionate about adoption, foster care, and serving children from hard places.

I am a first-generation Mexican American, a child of immigrant parents, and have a deep understanding of cultural identity. My passion to help others began as a young girl and I believe it is God’s calling on my life. It is my honor and privilege to be part of my client’s healing journey!

Andrea Arjon

Bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor
My name is Andrea Arjon and I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (License#73800) in the state of Texas.

Additionally, I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained therapist and I have worked extensively with clients who have experienced a wide variety of trauma.

My goal as a therapist is to help you find meaning and healing through a deep exploration of what makes you YOU. I believe in holding a safe space that welcomes all parts of you and integrates the multiple identities and values you hold. I invite you to trust the process by opening yourself to vulnerability and sharing your core wounds, fears, and longings. Together, we will work on addressing the hurts in your life and connecting you with your inner-self to find true healing.
