My name is Armando Vasquez, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in McAllen, TX with nine years of experience helping people navigate life's most difficult chapters.

I lead with empathy, authenticity, and warmth. In my office (and online), there is no judgment, only curiosity, respect, and a genuine commitment to understanding your experience. I believe the relationship between a therapist and client is one of the most powerful tools for change, and I take that seriously.
Hi, My name is Dallas Smeltser and I am a licensed professional counselor-supervisor. I am here to help provide you with encouragement and support. I've spent over 30 years doing this work — not because it's easy, but because it matters. My clients tend to be people who are dealing with something heavy and real: loss, trauma, depression, substance use, or the kind of slow-burning stress that builds until something breaks. Many of them are men who never saw themselves as 'therapy people,' and I respect that. I don't push, and I don't project. I show up, I listen, and I help you figure out what actually needs to change — and how to change it.
Clients should know that I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health professional committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for healing and growth.

I believe in empowering clients by helping them develop self-awareness, resilience, and practical coping strategies. My work is rooted in evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). I am especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those facing life transitions, trauma, or career challenges.
Above all, I value authenticity, collaboration, and creating a non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey toward mental wellness.
