About Vanessa Turcios, M.Ed., LPC-Associate

Hi! I’m Vanessa Turcios, a bilingual therapist and founder of SimplyHer Counseling Services. I am from Port Arthur, Texas. Daughter of Salvadoran parents.

As a first-generation Latina, therapist, and experience as a nurse and educator, I know what it’s like to carry the invisible weight of expectations, trying to succeed, show up for everyone else, and hold it all together even when you feel overwhelmed inside.

I created SimplyHer Counseling Services as a space for women, young adults, students, and individuals in Texas from diverse cultural backgrounds, especially the Latino/Hispanic community, who are ready to take care of their mental and emotional well-being. My mission is to offer a safe, supportive, and empowering space where you can explore your identity, set boundaries, process life transitions, and reconnect with your most authentic self.

You’re not alone and you don’t have to do this all by yourself anymore. Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and supported in your journey.

¡Hola! Soy Vanessa Turcios, terapeuta bilingüe y fundadora de SimplyHer Counseling Services. Soy de Port Arthur, Texas, hija de padres salvadoreños.

Como latina de primera generación, terapeuta y con experiencia como enfermera y educadora, sé lo que es cargar con el peso invisible de las expectativas: intentar triunfar, estar al servicio de los demás y mantener la calma incluso cuando te sientes abrumada.

Creé SimplyHer Counseling Services como un espacio para mujeres, jóvenes, estudiantes y personas en Texas de diversos orígenes culturales, especialmente la comunidad latina/hispana, que estén listas para cuidar de su bienestar mental y emocional. Mi misión es ofrecer un espacio seguro, de apoyo y empoderamiento donde puedas explorar tu identidad, establecer límites, procesar las transiciones de la vida y reconectar con tu yo más auténtico.

No estás sola y ya no tienes que hacerlo todo sola. Trabajemos juntas para ayudarte a sentirte más segura, con más fuerza y con más apoyo en tu camino.
