LPC, 5 years of experience
Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. For the past five years, I've dedicated myself to supporting individuals navigating a wide range of mental health challenges. From the quiet solace of counseling centers to the dynamic environments of foster care and psychiatric hospitals, I've had the privilege of connecting with people from all walks of life. I believe in the power of empathy to foster genuine connections and create a safe space for healing. By actively listening, validating emotions, and offering unconditional support, I strive to build trusting therapeutic relationships that empower my clients to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. Whether it's providing crisis intervention, facilitating therapeutic groups, or conducting individual therapy sessions, I approach each interaction with compassion and a commitment to evidence-based approaches. I am passionate about tailoring treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each client, empowering them to develop the coping skills and resilience necessary to thrive and grow.
Our first session will be an opportunity for you to share your story and discuss your goals for therapy. We'll work together to explore your current challenges and strengths, and I'll share my approach to therapy. Together, we'll create a personalized plan that empowers you to make positive changes in your life.
I believe in the power of empathy and unconditional positive regard to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. My diverse experiences in different therapeutic settings have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each of my clients.
I am passionate about helping individuals overcome symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other life challenges and stressors. I utilize a client-centered approach to tailor therapy to each person's unique needs and goals.
The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach has proven to be an effective approach for a wide ranger of mental health issues, including depression and anxiety. By setting achievable goals and learning to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, CBT will empower you to take control of your mental health and overall well-being.
In my approach to person-centered therapy, I prioritize fostering a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. This allows clients to feel comfortable to freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgement. Through this collaborate process, you will have the opportunity to develop self-awareness, enhance your self-esteem, and cultivate inner resources for personal growth and resilience.
I often incorporate elements of Mindfulness-Based Therapy into my work. This involves cultivating present moment awareness, which can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and develop valuable coping skills to enhance your overall well-being.
Positive psychology helps us understand what makes life worth living. We'll focus on identifying your strengths and values, exploring positive experiences, building resilience, and finding meaning and purpose in life. This can help you create a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Velery is so kind and takes her time to listen to me. I would want anyone I care about who needs therapy to get the opportunity to work with Velery.

Velery's approach towards my treatment, as well as my personality/needs, has been incredibly warm, and genuine. I have very much struggled in how to begin to define my needs/wants, and she has been invaluable in the process.
