Therapists in Texas

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in rural Texas. I received my education from Tarleton State University and have been practicing for 24 years. I help clients who are struggling with Depression, Anxiety, and overwhelming life situations find new ways to look at their life. I worked as a Licensed Social Worker prior to becoming a counselor. This approach has added a unique perspective to my practice and scope of expertise.

I am a licensed psychologist who enjoys working with clients who may be struggling with depression or difficult life situations that have them feeling stuck. I also regularly work with individuals who are experiencing both personal and romantic relationship challenges. I strive to meet clients where they are to begin working toward a value-based life. I am a solution-oriented psychologist and thus work to help clients identify practical solutions and effective strategies to their life situations.

Greetings. I am Cassandra, a RN and a Licensed and Board Certified Trauma informed and Neuropsychotherapist. I would be pleased to have the opportunity to serve as your Trusted Professional Therapist. I completed my undergraduate nursing education at Howard University and Prairie View A and M University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in 1988. I completed my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in 2015 from Liberty University. I have more than three decades of comprehensive Healthcare and Mental Health experience. As a Registered Nurse and a Licensed Professional Therapist, I desire to use my comprehensive Healthcare background to provide a unique and beneficial counseling experience for my clients. My primary Therapeutic model is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness therapy, and Spirituality and other Therapeutic methods per client request. I approach my clients with dignity, compassion, and respect and am accepting of them wherever they are in their cycle of life. It would be my honor to serve as your Therapist and to assist you to identify and address the challenges you may be facing in life. I encourage you to allow me to assist you on your healing journey. I would be happy to have you schedule an appointment for a complimentary 15 minute consultation or an actual intake session. I accept most insurance plans, EAP, and Cash-pay clients.

Sometimes we encounter challenging life obstacles and can find ourselves feeling distressed, isolated, or stuck in unhealthy patterns. When these difficulties arise, we may bravely reach out for support and guidance from a counselor. I consider it a privilege to partner with my clients as they deepen self-awareness, achieve new insight, and work toward building the life they desire for themselves. I believe therapy should be about you and what's most important to you. I form a therapeutic alliance with my clients in which we work together on the issues that matter most to them.
