Does it feel like chronic pain, anxiety, or trauma have hijacked your life?

Take a deep breath. You are in the right place.
Let’s journey together to gain a deeper understanding of your mind, body and nervous system.
Your body is not broken—it’s communicating. Let’s learn how to listen and heal.
Hi! I’m Tierra Ortiz-Rodriguez, your Mind-Body Guide
I offer holistic therapy for chronic pain, anxiety, trauma, and stress-related conditions. Mind-body therapy or coaching with me combines cutting edge neuroscience with compassionate, body-aware practices to help your system feel safe enough to heal.
Let’s explore how your symptoms live not just in the mind or the body alone, but in the conversation between the brain, nervous system, and your lived experience.
Whether you’re navigating back pain, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, pelvic pain, IBS, migraines, insomnia, anxiety, trauma, or other stress-related illnesses, your symptoms are real—and they are changeable.
I offer “top-down” and “bottom-up” therapy integrating Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Schema Therapy, Expressive Arts, Ecotherapy/Walk and Talk Therapy, and more.
I believe you can mobilize your mind-body wisdom, build nervous system flexibility, and awaken strengths and resources that support deep, lasting healing.

MINDFULNESS-BASED THERAPY
Mindfulness is the practice of meeting your thoughts, emotions, and sensations with curiosity rather than judgment. By cultivating mindfulness, you can quiet the noise, see yourself and the world with greater clarity, and create space to respond with intention rather than react automatically.
Let’s Go Far Together!
Therapy for chronic pain, anxiety, and trauma in Sugar Land and Houston informed by mind-body medicine and a holistic approach to healing.
MIND
Pain Reprocessing Therapy is an evidence-based neuroplasticity therapy to disarm the brain’s overprotective alarm and activate safety.
Cognitive behavior therapy, schema therapy, and mindfulness therapy are additional brain-based tools available to support your cognitive health.
We will explore your thoughts, beliefs, and the quality of awareness you bring to situations. You will learn to challenge negative thought patterns, let go of false beliefs and internalized voices, and build healthy attitudes and cognitive flexibility.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy and SoulCollage® are creative modalities supporting cognitive change at the level of images, metaphors, and stories.
BODY
Your body and emotions are highly sensitive detectors of wellness and dis-ease. I incorporate somatic therapy to help you create and sustain habits that are aligned with your values, health, and wellness.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy or Pain Recovery Coaching teaches you how to Disarm the Alarm and Activate Safety by turning toward sensations and emotions through a lens of safety, humor, and positive affect. Accelerated Resolution Therapy helps process and resolve troubling emotions and sensations stored in the body related to trauma and stress.
We will also explore somatic meditation, grounding, emotional freedom technique, and many other “bottom-up” approaches for supporting your physical and emotional health, including nature connection and ecotherapy.
SOUL
A soul-centered approach to healing invites you to examine that which sparks joy, meaning, and creative expression.
I invite an array of expressive arts into the therapeutic adventure. Through right-brain play, you will get to know your inner wisdom and authentic inner voice and discover your unique resilience and resourcefulness via SoulCollage®, creative journaling, drawing, dreamwork, and more.
We will dive into topics of passion, play, and purpose. We will pay special attention to your dreams and creative stirrings. We will explore the soul-tending practices of working with breakage and repair and coming to know “survival as a creative act.”
