Therapists in Texas

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself as a passionate practitioner for over twenty five years. My service includes a broad range of ages and issues with a primary focus on children and family dynamics. I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor-Supervisor (LPC-S) based in Texas. I received my Doctorate from the Texas Southern University, a Master's in Applied Psychology from Houston Baptist University and my first Mater's in Guidance and Counseling from Eastern Michigan University.

My name is Omar Sandoval and I could have been a statistic. The persistent financial, social, and inter- and intrapersonal adversity I experienced coming from a low socioeconomic status single parent home could have defined me were it not for hope, discipline, education, luck, and my hobbies. Instead, I am a Mexican-American English/Spanish speaking Licensed Professional Counselor practicing since 2017. I was inspired to work in this field due to many hardships growing up. Though difficult to overcome, such significant obstacles ignited my curiosity for understanding the human condition and improving upon it when and where possible, a lifelong pursuit which still guides me personally and professionally. Me llamo Omar Sandoval y soy un consejero acreditado bilingue ejerciendo desde el 2017 de descendencia Mexicana. Por que me crie pobre, desde joven aprendi la importancia de el aprendizaje, luchando y chambeando, y la sinceridad interna y externamente. Tambien aprendi que la vida no es nada facil y, para sobrevivir y sobresalir, hay que hacerse duro y valiente. Solo fue asi que aprendi no temerle a las problemas ni a los crisis ya que en esta vida hay muchos y tambien aprendi como comunicar esta capacidad para superar los obstaculos interna y externamente en mi vida personal y en mi profesion.

I witness people in their present predicaments and tell them what I see and feel. Acknowledgement of pain, a counterintuitive process, is the secret sauce of ordering our lives into functional, fun, and life-affirming behaviors. The process of emotional healing takes time, dedication, and practice. Willingness to feel what has been unfelt and to voice what has been unsaid will help you see positive changes in your life.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Cherrelle Barton and I am a therapist whom genuinely cares. I commend you in taking the first step toward self discovery. I believe that what's most important in the therapeutic process is choosing a therapist that is the right fit. So just a little about me, I have 13 years of experience in the behavioral field, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2008 and went on to obtain my Master of Social Work degree in 2011. Those closest to me would describe me as kind, compassionate and patient. These qualities catapulted me into the behavioral health field. When working with clients I prefer to utilize strengths based, solution focused methods. Joining with clients in problem solving and analyzing to find solutions for troublesome symptoms. I believe that you are your best healer; I am simply the catalyst to guide you along the pathway to finding what it is you are needing and longing for.

I know at times life can seem confusing or even impossible. I believe with every fiber of my being we all have the answers we need. Somehow we get separated from our core strength. You are the expert on you, you alone hold your truth. I am interested in your story and use the description, "enlightened witness" as a way to describe some of what I do in my work as a therapist and healer. I see myself as a fellow traveler, a helper, and a companion who "holds the lantern" to help guide people to see out of dark places and into their truth. Much of the time we are living a narrative others have crafted, often by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but we can heal and take back our story, and choose to see from our core. Embrace compassion, reflection and most of all self-love. Some of my greatest joy comes from helping people move past pain into healthy and loving relationships with themselves and others. I believe suffering is inevitable but not without wisdom and growth. Sometimes seeing our strengths is difficult. Self-love must include your whole being and all parts ~ messy, vulnerable, raw and authentic. You are the velveteen rabbit and you are already worthy of your own love. You are already real. I am licensed in Virginia, West Virginia and Texas. I see clients in these states only at this point. FYI Please schedule on the hour only. Otherwise, I will have to call you back and reschedule.
