Hi, my name is Terri Lee Stowe and I am the founder/owner of Engaging Teens Counseling Center, PLLC. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I provide in-person and telehealth individual sessions to clients age 10- 25 years of age. My journey in counseling began when I witnessed my middle school students struggling both emotionally and academically and feeling as if I could not help them enough within the field of education. It would be my pleasure to help you/your child to navigate the transition between adolescence and adulthood. It is my goal to engage clients and allow them to feel both seen and heard.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session together will be different depending on your age. If you are a minor your parent/guardian will join us for the first half of the session, and we will go over intake documents, and discuss confidentiality and informed consent. We will also talk about why your parent/guardian feels that you need counseling and what they would like you to get out of sessions with me. Your parent/guardian will step out for the second half of the session and we will spend some time getting to know each other and discuss what you would like to get out of your sessions with me. I will answer any questions that you might have so that you will feel more comfortable coming for your second session. If you are a young adult we will discuss the intake paper work, confidentiality, and informed consent. We will spend some time discussing why you are seeking counseling, and what you would like to get out of it. I will let you know what you can expect from me. If time allows we will discuss some treatment goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Navigating the transition between adolescence and adulthood can be very overwhelming, together we will find ways of coping that work for you in a safe accepting environment. When you cant find the words, together we can explore creative forms of expression such as; music, art, writing, and sand tray. I will be beside you on this journey so that at the end of our work together you won't be just surviving you will be thriving. If you are willing to do the work, I will be there beside you.
