Hi, I'm Chester, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. I have 17 years of experience in the field of mental health, primarily working with trauma-related disorders including PTSD, acute stress, anxiety, depression, grief, obsessive-compulsive (OCD), sleep disorders, and adjustment disorder. I am an Army Veteran with 4 years of active-duty service and have experience working with warzone Veterans and their families regarding issues of readjustment. I have a passion for helping individuals maximize their independence, health, and well-being. I meet clients where they are and create a space to build confidence, identify strengths and develop skills to achieve goals. I believe the therapeutic process allows new meaning for both therapist and client. Are you ready, I am!

I utilize an evidence-based eclectic approach to therapy, utilizing Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Stress Inoculation Training

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

My biggest strengths are helping clients gain a deeper understanding of their experiences, symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and developing healthy coping skills.
