What makes Claudia Davila with Mind, Body and Soul Counseling Center a good neighbor?
What does it really mean to take a holistic approach to mental health? Claudia Davila, founder of Mind, Body and Soul Counseling Center in Frisco, offers a refreshing perspective on counseling that goes beyond conventional therapy.
Claudia's journey began in Peru, where she spent the first decade of her life witnessing poverty and systemic challenges while naturally developing the empathetic listening skills that would later define her career. After immigrating to California with her family, she experienced firsthand the difficulties of cultural adaptation, language barriers, and the stark contrast between collectivistic and individualistic societies. These challenges, rather than defeating her, became the foundation for her unique approach to counseling that bridges cultural divides.
The Mind, Body and Soul Counseling Center offers comprehensive services including individual and couples counseling for all ages, play therapy, and telehealth options. What sets them apart is their team of bilingual, trauma-informed clinicians who create safe spaces for clients to feel truly heard and validated. Claudia passionately debunks common misconceptions about counseling, emphasizing that therapy isn't about giving advice but empowering individuals to discover their own solutions. She also refreshingly acknowledges that counselors don't have perfect lives—they've simply developed better tools to navigate life's challenges.
Whether you're curious about mental health services, considering therapy for yourself or a loved one, or interested in how cultural experiences shape professional perspectives, this conversation offers valuable insights into compassionate, holistic healing.
