About
Hello, I’m Romy Nuñes, LCSW, and I would like to welcome you to my counseling and therapy practice. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and bilingual psychotherapist offering individual counseling, group counseling, and mental health evaluations virtually to Texas residents.
The heart behind Sana Sana Counseling stems from my personal experience with profound loss. Losing my younger brother, Michael, to suicide left an unshakable pain, and it also ignited a deep desire to support others navigating life’s heartbreaks and challenges. Through my own journey, I am committed to guiding individuals toward healing and hope.
For the past decade, I have had the privilege and joy of helping adults and adolescents work through difficult life challenges including traumatic events, grief & loss, and acculturating to life in the U.S. I support you in exploring your history and uncovering patterns you may not even be aware of so that you can begin to have more control over your emotions, recover from your trauma, feel happier, more confident and feel better about yourself. I look forward to working with you and helping you realize your fullest potential!

Experience
I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 10 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I obtained my Master's in Social Work from Baylor University with a concentration in Immigration Policy.

My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Therapy, DBT Skills and EMDR.
What is the meaning of "Sana, Sana, colita de rana..."
"Sana, sana, colita de rana" is a beloved phrase in many Latino communities. It’s often used as a comforting rhyme, especially by parents and grandparents when children get hurt. The full phrase goes, "Sana, sana, colita de rana, si no sanas hoy, sanarás mañana," which translates to "Heal, heal, little frog’s tail, if you don’t heal today, you’ll heal tomorrow."
The saying “Sana Sana” carries a deep sense of tradition and affection, often used to soothe physical pain or emotional distress. At Sana Sana Counseling, we believe that healing is not just physical, but emotional as well. As pain and discomfort are temporary… There is definitely hope for recovery. Support from our team is always available and we look forward to helping you start your healing journey.​​
Sana Sana holds a deep personal meaning for me, reminding me of how my mother supported me during some of the hardest times in my life. Raised by a single mother who worked tirelessly to provide for me, her words through Sana Sana were a constant reassurance that life’s challenges are temporary and that healing can lead to brighter days.
