Kind greetings to you! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with Supervisor status (LPC-S) based in Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Texas RGV and have been practicing for 8 years. I have over 15 years of mental health experience.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with Supervisor status (LPC-S) based in Texas.

I help clients who are experiencing anxiety, grief, and depression to find ways to overcome their obstacles and find their best selves.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions and sort out the areas where you would like improvement and resolution. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

With over 15 years of mental health background and experiences, I am most tailored to help clients find the trouble areas that are most weighing on one, in order to create measurable goals that will drive you towards progress and success.

Ideal clients

I have extensive experiences working with grief, anxiety, and depression. I've worked with all ages, but have primarily served adolescents and young adult populations.

Treatment methods

Strength-Based

This treatment focuses on finding and harnessing client strengths using story telling and positive mindset structuring. This is highly effective for clients who see limitations more visibly than strengths and helps in building self-perception and self-esteem as well as improving areas of decision making.

Motivational Interviewing

This treatment focuses on resolving internal thoughts and feelings related to insecurity and negativity in order to find the motivation to change. This treatment uses practical and empathetic measures, helping clients commit to making changes in life areas that require change.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness treatment helps clients understand and live their present, reducing anxieties about the future and other circumstances that may be preventing relief. This treatment helps clients gain awareness of their physical, mental, and emotional conditions, improving mental flexibility, reducing reactivity, and increasing receptiveness to change.

His conversations open up so many different ways of thinking about things. They allow me to be more open to options that I either hadn’t considered before or was strongly opposed to. He is AWESOME!

I'm a structured person, and this was my first time attending any therapy. What really stood out in my first session with Rick was how he started the meeting by outlining what to expect, which immediately helped my anxious self feel calm about the session. I was able to open up about why I chose to start therapy, and felt no judgment. I could tell he was invested in helping me because he helped me process thoughts I could not find the words to express.

I felt like he really listened to me and had a calming effect that allowed me to open up.
