WellMind began because our community needed more—more access to quality care, personalized counseling, specialized evaluations, and lasting support. Dr. Temperance Cervantes, a psychologist and trauma specialist, recognized that her solo practice could not meet the growing demand. Together with her husband, Julio, she combined clinical expertise and operational leadership to create WellMind: a place where healing is grounded in science, compassion, and purpose.

Founded in El Paso, Texas, WellMind serves individuals and families locally while expanding therapy, consultation, and training services to Austin and Central Texas.

Today, WellMind is home to a team of highly trained, deeply committed providers serving children, teens, adults, families, and older adults. Our clinicians continuously refine their skills, stay current with research, and develop new tools to better support those we serve. We value empathy, wellness, and authentic human connection, and we are proud to support first responders, military veterans, and individuals from all walks of life.

WellMind also functions as a training academy, supporting clinicians through advanced education in EMDR, DBR, neurofeedback, and trauma-informed care.

Our approach is integrative and assessment-based. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we consider the full picture—mind, body, history, and nervous system. We understand that before reflection or trauma processing can occur, the nervous system must first feel safe and regulated. Stabilization, emotional regulation, and nervous system support are foundational to every treatment plan.

Clients work collaboratively with our team to set meaningful goals and explore the beliefs and patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Drawing from neuroscience and somatic practices, we support resilience, improved relationships, and reconnection with one’s sense of self.

As an assessment-based practice, WellMind offers a neurobiological lens to better understand each client’s challenges. Dr. Cervantes is board certified in neurofeedback and QEEG BrainMap analysis, which can help identify brain-based patterns contributing to anxiety, depression, attention concerns, or emotional dysregulation. For many clients, this process becomes a powerful and validating turning point in their healing journey.

At WellMind, you’re not simply receiving services—you’re partnering with a team committed to real understanding, meaningful healing, and lasting change.
