Haley VA Hospital, and finished a post-doctoral fellowship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in the Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center. With 17 years of clinical experience, she focuses on helping people recover from mood and anxiety conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, panic, paranoia, and stress while addressing practical life challenges that get in the way of wellbeing.

Dr. Cuellar concentrates much of her work on removing barriers to setting, achieving, and sustaining meaningful goals so clients can build lives aligned with their values. Her practice emphasizes evidence-based interventions and a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which the client’s knowledge about themselves is valued alongside the therapist’s expertise. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and applies solution-focused techniques when clients face life transitions that call for practical, forward-looking strategies.

Throughout treatment Dr. Cuellar aims to teach skills that help people manage symptoms and become their own therapists over time. She approaches each case as a partnership, guided by the belief that people can grow, change, and recover, and she seeks to support clients in moving toward greater purpose and functioning.
