Dr. Wanda I Medina Torres, LPC-S
Spanish Speaking Therapist in Texas and Maine
I am Dr. Wanda I. Medina Torres, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with more than 30 years of experience providing counseling in Texas Maine and Puerto Rico.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan and in a variety of settings, supporting people through some of life’s most difficult and challenging moments.

Your Healing Journey Matters
Life can be challenging. You may be dealing with anxiety or depression, recovering from trauma, grieving the loss of someone you love, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling stuck and unsure about what comes next.
Sometimes, life’s challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or even frozen—unable to move forward. These experiences can affect our relationships, sense of happiness, confidence, and ability to live the life we want.
You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.
I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences and concerns. Together, we can explore what you are experiencing, develop a better understanding of the challenges you are facing, and identify healthy coping strategies and meaningful ways to move forward.
I believe that every person’s healing journey is unique. Therapy is not about changing who you are. It is about helping you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, develop new skills, and create positive changes at a pace that feels right for you.
My Experience and Education
I earned my PhD in Counseling Psychology from Inter American University of Puerto Rico. Over more than three decades in the counseling profession, I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and personal and emotional crises.
My professional experience includes working in schools, emergency care, community mental health, private practice, university settings, and correctional settings. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of needs.
I am passionate about counseling and believe deeply in each person’s capacity for growth, healing, and change. My role is to walk alongside you, help you discover your abilities and strengths, and support you as you work toward greater emotional well-being and a more fulfilling life.
