Bilingual telehealth · Texas
Life can feel overwhelming. Here, there is space to rest, to share your story, and to begin again — with compassion for today and courage for what comes next.
Bilingual telehealth counseling for teens, adults, and couples across Texas. Evidence-based, trauma-informed, and paced by trust.
About
I'm Mark, though most know me as Tony — a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas, practicing under the supervision of Dr. Gregory Scott Sparrow, Ed.D., LPC-S (TX License #15338).
Born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, I carry a deep connection to this community and a calling to walk with others through seasons of struggle and growth. My own path of healing has been shaped by both life experience and a faith that reminds me redemption and renewal are possible — even in life's hardest valleys.
That conviction guides how I sit with clients — with patience, compassion, and the belief that every story carries the possibility of restoration and hope.
As a bilingual therapist, I provide care in both English and Spanish, making therapy accessible across diverse cultures. At the heart of my work is offering a good place — a safe, steady presence where burdens can be set down and resilience can rise again.
How I work
I draw from well-supported, person-first modalities and shape the work around you — your story, your pace, and what you actually want to change. Therapy is structured enough to be useful and human enough to feel like a real conversation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anchors the structure, drawn alongside trauma-focused, attachment-based, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based, and person-centered approaches. Christian faith integration is woven in when you want it.
Trauma changes the nervous system, not just the story. Safety, predictability, and consent come first — we go slow when slow is what your body and mind need, and we don't push past your window of tolerance to chase progress.
Sessions are held in either language, and you can move between them mid-session. Some things only surface in the language they were first felt in — family, faith, shame, prayer, grief.
Christian faith integration is offered, not required. If your faith shapes how you understand yourself and your healing, we can include Scripture, prayer, and questions of meaning or doubt. If you'd rather work without faith integration, that is equally welcomed and clinically sound.
Most people come in carrying some version of the same things: anxiety that won't slow down, depression that has dimmed the color of daily life, or a life transition that's quietly reshaping who they are — a career shift, a new role as a parent, a separation, or leaving or returning to a faith community. Others arrive in grief, in the long aftermath of trauma, or worn down by relational and family-of-origin patterns that keep repeating despite their best efforts.
The phases are recursive, not linear. Where you are determines what we do.
I work with teens, adults, and couples across Texas via telehealth. I'm not the right provider for psychiatric emergencies, primary substance-use treatment, court-ordered or forensic work, or medication management — if your needs fall outside what I offer, I'll say so and help you find appropriate care.
Fees & insurance
Rates listed are for self-pay clients. Insurance coverage and accepted plans vary, and what a visit ultimately costs depends on the specifics of your individual policy. Multiple payment methods are supported at the time of service. If you have questions about coverage or payment options, you're welcome to reach out through the secure contact form below.
Good Faith Estimate. Under the federal No Surprises Act (PHS Act §2799B-6), uninsured and self-pay clients have the right to a written estimate of expected charges before services. You will receive a written Good Faith Estimate at scheduling — in advance of your first session — and on request at any time. If your final bill exceeds the estimate by $400 or more, you may be eligible to dispute it. Learn more at cms.gov/nosurprises.
FAQ
Teens, adults, and couples located in Texas. Per state licensure rules, you must be physically located in Texas at the time of session. Sessions are by secure telehealth — I'm a solo practice, so there's no waiting room or front desk, just the two of us.
Intake paperwork is completed in the secure client portal beforehand, so the first session is just talking. We cover what brings you in, relevant history, what you're hoping for, and how the work will go. If you'd rather ask questions before committing, the free 15-minute consult is built for that.
A private space, a quiet hour, and a device with a camera and reliable internet. Sessions are conducted on a HIPAA-compliant video platform through the client portal — you'll get a link before each appointment. No software installs are required for most browsers.
Therapy is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself or someone else, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911. For non-emergent concerns between sessions, the client portal is the best way to reach me, and we'll address it together at our next appointment.
I hold an M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Texas LPC-Associate license, practicing under the clinical supervision of Dr. Gregory Scott Sparrow, Ed.D., LPC-S (TX License #15338). Supervision is a required, structured stage of professional licensure that supports clinical quality. My supervisor is available for questions about my practice.
