Top in-person Texas children therapists who accept cash payments

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 7 years experience. My therapy style is welcoming and caring. I have experience working with a variety of adult individuals for their therapy needs. I also treat couples for marriage and premarital concerns. I believe you deserve to be listened to, heard, understood, and respected. In a non-judgmental, respectful space, my approach is also empathetic. I help couples who are seeking ways to better communicate, respect and allow each other to grow in their relationship. I offer specialized services for individuals who are dealing with specific issues, such as anger management, anxiety, depression, grief, and some trauma. I use an eclectic approach, when combining CBT (cognitive behavior), SFBT(solution focused brief therapy) while providing guidance as you are the expert, and the answers you seek are inside you. Biblical wisdom/prayer is available and provided upon request, just ask! In person and online available. Mask required.

You are on the search for something. Whether it is clarity, peace, happiness, support, or the freedom to finally explore who YOU truly are. We often feel the pressure to appear we have it all together when deep inside we are fighting a battle within. This journey that you are on, no longer has to be walked alone.

I am a licensed therapist with over five years of experience working diligently with teens (13+) and adults. My approach is eclectic and evidence-based, integrating a blend of behavioral and trauma-informed techniques. My goal is to support clients in developing a deep understanding of themselves while equipping them with new coping skills to navigate life's challenges more effectively. I firmly believe in each individual's potential for growth and healing and am committed to guiding my clients on their unique journeys toward well-being.

I am a counselor that maintains a client-centered approach and assure that I am always accommodating clients from the best therapeutic standpoint. By being a veteran and through personal experience, I have an extensive amount of experience with grief, sexual abuse, trauma, substance abuse, anger management, domestic violence, and breaking the cycle of counterproductive behavior. This has led me to being heavily involved with populations such as: at risk youth, adults, men, women, LGBTQIA+, veterans, teens, felons, probationers, and foster youth. Everyone deserves a safe space. Being able to create a safe and judgement free zone is always upheld when we encounter one another. I always seek to eliminate any barriers with consistent care. I do offer both virtual & in person sessions so that I am always able to be of support that is best fitting for you. If you seek to take control of your path, we ensure the level of comfort optimal for just that.

I have been licensed as a clinical social worker for 13 years and I have over 20 years of experience in mental health. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from Southern University A&M college and my Master's of Social Work degree from the University of Houston. I specialize in assisting individuals to cope with life's stressors, depression, and anxiety utilizing cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques. After each session with me as your clinician, you can expect to feel valued, heard and "lighter" as you will have a space to process your life stressors. I utilize a client-centered, solution-focused therapeutic approach. My specialties include women's issues and issues surrounding people of color.

I am passionate about what the effects of wellness can do to every level of one’s being. I have experienced firsthand the effects of having a good self-care plan, therapy, good support system and realizes fully how having these strategies in place can be an incredible source of reassurance, growth, healing, and development. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as mindfulness, meditation, CPT, CBT, and EMDR. I have over 20 years of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, substance abuse, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, and other mental health issues. I have several years throughout my career witnessed countless individuals change their perspective about their life which caused them to live the life that they desired. I hold a master’s degree in counseling psychology.

As a counselor, my belief is we do the best we can with what we know. I believe there is a need behind behaviors and once that need is identified and addressed, new behaviors can develop. We need a space that we can be heard, validated, and learn new ways to tackle difficulties in our lives. I specialize in working with children and adults with concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief and social difficulties by increasing understanding and coping strategies. I don't believe that one approach fits all, therefore as I get to know you and your goals, we will decide which approach feels most natural for you. I have training in play therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Client Centered Counseling, CBT, and Trauma-Focused CBT. My goal for our appointments is that you feel heard, supported, and have a different understanding of your world. We work as a team to develop an understanding of your world and find new ways to handle problems.

¡Hola a todos! Me llamo Donna, soy mexicana a hueso colorado y soy bilingüe en Inglés y Español. Soy terapeuta matrimonial y familiar con licencia y consejera profesional asociada con licencia (supervisada por Nanci Silver-Boice, M.Ed, M.A., LMFT-S, LPC-S). Tengo una maestría en ciencias en psicología con la especialidad de terapia matrimonial, individual y familiar. Estoy aquí para ayudarte lo mejor que pueda y, sobre todo, tengo la mente abierta sobre culturas, creencias, orientación sexual y estilos de vida. Mi espacio de oficina es una zona libre de juicios. Me especializo en duelo, ansiedad, depresión, trauma intergeneracional y religiosa, pérdidas, transiciones de vida y problemas de relación. Viniendo de un entorno bicultural (nacida en Estados Unidos con padres mexicanos de primera generación) y también habiendo vivido en el extranjero en Japón, siento que puedo comprender algunos de los desafíos comunes que vienen con la asimilación y la aculturación desde perspectivas tanto nacionales como extranjeras. Datos curiosos sobre mí: ¡No soy una chica uwu, pero me encanta la estética y la moda linda! Además, mi apellido es Xu porque mi esposo es chino-canadiense-estadounidense. Creo que la terapia es parte de la experiencia humana y, sin importar el idioma o la cultura, la mente y el corazón siempre necesitan cuidado y comprensión. Los clientes sentirán que han abordado sus problemas cuando se sientan empoderados para seguir adelante. Básicamente, lo que siempre bromeo con mis clientes es: "¡Siempre estoy buscando estar sin trabajo!". Si mis clientes ya no me necesitan, ¡entonces hicimos un buen trabajo! ---------- Hi everyone! I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and a licensed professional counselor associate (supervised by Nanci Silver-Boice, M.Ed, M.A., LMFT-S, LPC-S). I hold a masters in science in psychology with the specialty of marriage, individual, and family therapy. I am here to help you to the best of my ability and most of all, I'm open-minded about cultures, beliefs, sexual orientation, and walks of life. My office space is a judgment-free zone. I work with grief, anxiety, depression, intergenerational and religious trauma, losses, life transitions, and relationship issues. Coming from a bicultural background (American-born with first generation Mexican parents) and also having lived abroad in Japan, I feel that I am able to understand some of the common challenges that come with assimilation and acculturation from both domestic and foreign perspectives. Fun facts about me: I am not an uwu girl but I do love the aesthetic and cute fashion! Also, my last name is Xu because my husband is Chinese-Canadian-American. I believe therapy is part of the human experience and no matter the language or culture, the mind and heart always need care and understanding. Clients will feel that they have addressed their issues when they feel empowered to move forward. Basically what I joke with my clients all the time is: "I'm always looking to get myself out of a job!" If my clients no longer need me, then we did some good work!

I am a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience. I've been working in my community for over 20 years and have been helping those in need. I have experience in working with a variety of individuals and couples, and specialize in treating those with a history of traumatic experiences, loss and grief, and mood issues, as a few examples. I use a collaborative approach - you are the expert in you. Using a variety of evidenced-based techniques, I will guide you to achieve your goals. This is your time to heal and renew!

I take a person-centered and trauma-informed approach to working with individuals. I am dedicated to assisting my clients discover their inner strengths and skills to achieve goals in healing and growth. Clients who get the most out of therapy with me are those who are ready to grow and invest the time and energy needed to reach their goals.
