Brenda Acevedo
My name is Brenda Acevedo and I have in the mental health field in Texas since 2010. I am Licensed Professional Counselor, with a Bachelors degree in Psychology, and a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with an array of populations.
I have experience in trauma, crisis, and personality disorders.
I prefer to work female adults who have experienced trauma, have been diagnosed with mental health disorders, are experiencing stress, or anxiety.
First session
During the first session, we will discuss biological, psychological, and social aspects of the clients life. We will review paperwork, discuss what brings the client in, and go over how I can possibly help the client.
Strengths
My therapeutic approaches are using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Adlerian, and Reality Theories. I like these theories because I believe in getting to the root of the presented problem from where it stems. In this way the clients needs are not only addressed, but symptoms are reduced. Receiving answers, and understand the problem can motivate a client to problem solve. In this way, we can work toward a resolution that works best. Using the Adlerian growth model, assists in growth towards being the clients better self, by ways of finding meaning, to create the clients vision of a better life.
Ideal clients
I have experience with the trauma, and crisis. I specifically have worked with clients who have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Personality Disorders, and Major Depression. I have worked with a variety of populations, with an array of socio-economic brackets. I am also proficient in working with diverse cultures, using multicultural counseling techniques.

I have many years of experience treating patients under this modality.
