Hi! I am Gene Gibbs, a trained counselor and mental health therapist. I enjoy helping people as they navigate the issues and concerns that arise as one lives from day to day.

Clifford Porter, MA, MEd Licensed Professional Counselor | Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, Author With over 18 years of experience in behavioral health and addiction, I specialize in guiding individuals through challenges such as substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and sleep disturbances. My career in counseling began in 1990, leading me to earn a master's degree in counseling and gain extensive experience across outpatient and inpatient treatment settings, behavioral health programs, and hospital environments. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with medical teams to support patients facing psychiatric conditions, substance-related disorders, and behavioral health challenges.

Beyond direct clinical practice, I serve as a professor of counseling-related courses at a local college, where I am dedicated to training and mentoring future professionals in the field.

This invaluable experience has shaped my approach, allowing me to provide culturally responsive and insightful care across a broad spectrum of client needs. I view therapy as a collaborative process—one that acknowledges your life experiences, relational dynamics, and personal beliefs that shape your worldview. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space for self-exploration, growth, and meaningful change. Trained in a range of evidence-based treatment models, I tailor my approach to align with your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic experience.

I help tweens, adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with questions, thoughts, and behaviors they don’t understand and want some help unraveling their challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with licenses in both Texas and Louisiana. My journey in counseling began in 2007 in administration at a chemical dependency organization, where I first saw the profound impact of professional support on individuals facing addiction.

My name is Vincent Egbuchulam, and I am a licensed professional counselor with over five years of experience in the mental health field. I address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, teen issues, anger and stress management, life transitions, aggression, and ADHD. In addition, I am a retired board-certified Special Education teacher with 15 years of experience.

Occasionally, I may incorporate other techniques, such as role-playing, if they are beneficial for your progress. I am committed to supporting those who seek to enhance their emotional well-being. During our initial visit, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and outline what you hope to achieve from our sessions. The first session typically lasts about an hour. You can expect a highly professional, objective, nonjudgmental, and confidential experience.

“It’s not the load that breaks us down, but the way we carry it.” — Anonymous Life can get heavy, even when we’re doing our best to stay strong.

During therapy, I help clients identify their God-given strengths, release unhealthy thought patterns, and develop faith-centered strategies for peace and purpose. Together, we’ll create space for healing that not only transforms your thinking but also strengthens your relationship with God and others. So, I ask you — are you ready to unpack and let God lighten your load?

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have particular experience and training in understanding individuals in the context of their relationships, families, and social identities. Sometimes our distress isn't just about what we're doing or not doing. Oftentimes, it's about how we move through the world in our social identities and how the world perceives and interacts with us so I want you to be able to talk about that in therapy. I can relate and find it meaningful to work with individuals suffering from anxiety. Anxiety can be crippling and paralyzing, causing us to overthink which can get in the way of so many things in life from accomplishing goals, trying new things, socializing, sleeping or even smaller things that add up until you're overwhelmed with them, like answering the phone or checking your mail. If you're feeling misunderstood, like you can't be yourself, anxious, worried, or trapped in repeating patterns that are causing you pain, I will join you where you are and we can work together to help you create a secure sense of self, and restore and improve relationships.
