El Paso, TX – Growth Counseling, led by MS Psych, MEd, LPC-S, Brenda E. Rueda, has been awarded the prestigious “Best of El Paso” recognition for two consecutive years, 2023 and 2024. This honor reflects the exceptional care and transformative impact Growth Counseling has had on the local community, offering specialized therapy for individuals struggling with OCD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.
Founded by Brenda Rueda, a passionate mental health advocate and therapist, Growth Counseling was born from a deep desire to help those struggling with high anxiety and OCD. It came from wanting these individuals to feel understood and supported while facing mental health challenges. A few years ago, Rueda made the courageous decision to leave her full-time position at a local school during the COVID-19 pandemic to open her own practice and to advocate for those struggling with OCD and anxiety. This pivotal moment led her to create a business dedicated to helping people overcome their mental health struggles and improve their quality of life.
Rueda’s approach to therapy integrates evidence-based treatments, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These approaches are supported by research in the mental health field and have been used effectively to address a variety of conditions, including OCD, anxiety, and depression. Rueda remains committed to ongoing research and professional development to ensure that her clients have access to the most effective, up-to-date treatments available.
“I’ve dedicated my career to providing the most effective therapies to those struggling with mental health challenges,” Rueda shares. “Through continuous education, connecting with colleagues worldwide, and staying informed on the latest research, I strive to ensure my clients receive the best possible care.”
One key philosophy that Rueda imparts to her clients is: “Feel it to heal it.” By encouraging individuals to embrace their emotions rather than avoid or suppress them, Growth Counseling helps clients work through their feelings in a safe, therapeutic environment, fostering long-term healing and growth.
Starting a small business and leaving a career in education after 13 years, presented many challenges, but Rueda’s dedication to her clients and her community has allowed Growth Counseling to grow into a respected entity in El Paso. Her work has touched the lives of hundreds of individuals, providing them with the support they need to navigate their mental health journeys.
Growth Counseling continues to expand its reach, offering personalized therapy services for individuals seeking to improve their mental health and overall well-being. As an award-winning practice, Growth Counseling is committed to providing high-quality care with a focus on empathy, understanding, and effective treatment.
