Most recently, therapists at Momentous Institute have seen a steady increase among teen girls in non-suicidal self-harm behaviors, such as burning or hitting themselves, self-medicating or hair pulling.

"They're coming in sharing symptoms of distress that are manifesting as non suicidal self injury, which could be anything from scratching themselves to burning themselves and cutting themselves. And as you can imagine, as a parent, that's super distressing," said Dr. Gomez.

Research shows Texas ranks last in mental health care access, and Hispanic adults are less likely to receive mental health treatment.
