About Dr. Grizelda Anguiano
Pediatric Mental Health In San Antonio and Across Texas
Board-Certified Pediatrician
Mental Health Advocate
Family Partner
Dr. Grizelda Anguiano is a board-certified pediatrician and Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Born and raised in Laredo, Texas, she earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 1998, followed by her medical degree and pediatric residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, graduating in 2009.
After training, Dr. Anguiano returned to San Antonio to be near family. She served as a pediatric hospitalist at Methodist Children’s Hospital and later as a general pediatrician at Through the Years Pediatrics, caring for children and families until 2019.
A Calling Rooted in Lived Experience
Dr. Anguiano’s passion for pediatric behavioral and mental health is both professional and personal. Having navigated ADHD herself as both a physician and a parent, she understands the emotional and practical challenges families face. This personal journey inspired her to pursue additional training in behavioral health so she could serve as both a skilled clinician and someone who truly understands.
From 2019 through late 2022, she provided pediatric mental health care and medication management at Mind Works Clinical and Counseling Psychology, further deepening her commitment to supporting neurodivergent children and families.
A Holistic, Integrative Approach
Dr. Anguiano’s care philosophy centers on addressing the whole child and the whole family. She is trained in:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles
Sanity School® Behavioral Parent Training
HeartMath® Biofeedback
While medication can be an important part of care, Dr. Anguiano focuses on creating personalized plans that reflect each family’s values, culture, and goals. Her approach is strengths-based, integrative, and designed to support growth in mind, body, and spirit.
From Parent to Advocate
Discovering Sanity School® for Parents by ImpactParents was a turning point for Dr. Anguiano’s own family. The program’s tools and encouragement inspired her to become a certified trainer and later a professional coach.
