Meet Gus Aleman: Guiding Minds, Healing Hearts
Born and raised in Vernon, Texas, Gus Aleman is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and a Board Certified Licensed Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner whose life and work are rooted in service, faith, and healing. His journey—from military deployments to founding Southwest Agape Wellness, PLLC—has been guided by a calling to uplift others and restore wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.
I believe that mental wellness is possible when a partnership between provider and patient is built on trust, compassion, and shared hope.
Southwest Agape Wellness is planting seeds of transformation—one patient, one story, one soul at a time. Our vision is to extend the warmth of a hometown approach to communities across Texas, reminding all who enter that they matter deeply and that healing and restoration is always possible. No one is ever just a number; they are seen, heard, and valued. Our belief is that healing begins not in isolation, but in connection, when we walk hand-in-hand with the support systems that uplift and sustain us.
[Agape]
“A Greek word, agape means a love that is not based on personal feelings of desires but rather on a deep, selfless concern for the well-being of others.”
