Owner and Therapist

(He/Him/His)

The decision to pursue therapy is an exciting step toward building the life you want. By working together, we can get to a different place than we can achieve on our own. Whether this is your first experience or you are continuing a long-term engagement with therapy, I am excited to join you. I offer therapy for depression and anxiety, couples counseling, family counseling, grief counseling, work and career issues, ADHD, PTSD, trauma focused therapy, oppositional defiant disorder/intermittent explosive disorder, eating disorders, stress management and more.

I hold a B.S. in Social Psychology from Park University with an emphasis in Human Development and Master of Social Work from The University of Texas at El Paso. I have served 15 years in the United States Army Reserves as a Combat Medic until I commissioned into the Texas Nation Guard. I am originally from Philadelphia but have called El Paso home for the past 14 years. I am licensed as Clinical Social Worker Supervisor in Texas (63258) and New Mexico (C-11940). Addition, I’m am a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (BCD).

I am passionate about providing therapy to all people, especially fellow military veterans. I provide high-quality therapy without judgment, doubt, or misinformation. I pride myself on working with clients to establish a collaborative relationship based on each person's ability to make choices and manage their own life. I believe everyone has a unique path towards inner peace that demands an equally unique therapeutic perspective. I blend a variety of techniques to tailor my approach to treatment for each individual. Life is full of challenges; I would love to help you on your journey.

Therapist

(He/Him/His)

¡Hola! I’m Jorge Villalobos, a bilingual psychotherapist dedicated to providing compassionate care in both English and Spanish. With a background in Social Work from the University of Texas at El Paso, where I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, my education in social work informs my empathetic approach to therapy. Drawing from my experiences on both sides of the US-Mexico border, I understand the importance of embracing diversity and honoring each person’s unique journey. I have a passion for working with LGBTQIA+ clients and their families, providing affirmative care that promotes growth and resilience. Whether you’re facing mental health challenges or seeking guidance, I’m here to support you on your path to healing, self-discovery, and a deeper understanding of yourself.

 

Fatima Reyes, B.A.

Counseling Intern

(She, Her, and Hers)

You deserve compassion, understanding, and healing. Let’s start your journey. I am a bilingual Mental Health Counselor Intern at Desert Wolf Therapy with a passion for serving the community that I love and grew up in. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in 2022 from American Public University and began pursuing my master's degree at Liberty University. I am a United States Marine Corps veteran and I understand the hardships transitioning to civilian life can bring. My approach to counseling is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but as we build rapport and work together, I will choose the best approach to better help your needs. I offer services to children, adolescents, and adults in an empathetic and empowering environment to work towards change and growth. You are not aLone. No estás solo.

 

Robbin Seales, B.S.

Social Work Intern

(She, Her, and Hers)

You are worthy of receiving support and love, even on your toughest days. I would like to be by your side as you find the better you. I am a Master Social Worker student intern at Desert Wolf Therapy and I have the passion to empower others with their inner strengths. In 2022 I obtained my bachelor's degree in Social Psychology with a minor in Social Work from Park University. Outside of interning I work full-time as a Youth Advocate, working with teens who are survivors of sexual abuse and or teen dating violence. I am a United States Army veteran. I understand the stigma behind taking care of your mental health while trying to juggle life and what it throws at us, especially being a mother who works full time. What I like to focus on is fostering a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their emotions, thoughts, and concerns. Building rapport is key to how I approach my clients so that they feel safe and seen. I offer services to adolescents and adults. At the end of the day, you are worthy of a healthy life. I am very excited to partner with you in your journey to an empowering and fulfilled life.
