Hey there! I'm Tera! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas and Louisiana. I received my MA from Louisiana Tech University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked in the mental health field since 2016 and have enjoyed assisting others find ways to improve their lives. Also in 2016, I discovered fitness and nutrition through bodybuilding. Through my experience, I think it is optimal to explore the connection of mental health and overall wellness through mind and body.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During in our first session, we will begin with a short introduction to gather a deeper understanding of your specific challenges you face and the goals you would like to explore.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in mental health for about 7 years, I strive to maintain an open mind and perspective to better understand my clients. I understand that not one shoe fits all, therefore I prefer an eclectic approach to counseling with a touch of humor.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I find that CBT has been useful in exploring patterns of thoughts and behaviors that can be debilitating and limiting to the quality of life. With CBT, we explore a new set of patterns to discover our actualized selves. I also provide medical marijuana consultations for Louisiana clients only.
Motivational Interviewing
Through the use of MI, we will together explore and identify your own personal goals for an improved life. I strive to assist in finding acceptance of self, and from there an improved self-esteem can elicit the changed desired.
