Hello and welcome! My name is Sylvia Luna and I am honored that you are considering my services. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) with three decades of dedicated experience within the mental health, substance abuse, and faith based communities. My experience is diverse, encompassing work with various populations in different professional settings, including the criminal justice system, Texas Department of Family Protective Services, in-patient and out-patient substance abuse treatment settings, Intimate Partner Violence, homelessness, and congregants of faith-based communities. Over the past 30 years, I have had the privilege of helping individuals, couples, and families navigate their mental health challenges and overcome substance abuse issues to achieve mental health wellness. Over the course of my career, I have provided supportive counseling, and worked as a clinical therapist spending 10 years focused on substance abuse and four years addressing mental health issues and other related issues.
My goal is to foster a genuine therapeutic relationship with you and be transparent and direct with you. As your therapist, I am not perfect nor pretend to have all the answers, but am committed to challenge you to become the best version of yourself and be by your side when things get uncomfortable and challenging. My extensive background enables me to provide a comprehensive and empathetic approach to counseling. I aim to support you on your journey through life’s challenges, whether you are dealing with stress, low self-esteem, trauma, addictions, relationship problems, and issues related to Christian faith.
My therapy approach and style are designed as a collaborative and experiential process, utilizing an eclectic therapy approach grounded in a humanistic and existential perspective. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic techniques, ensuring that the strategies I use are specifically tailored to meet your unique goals and needs. A priority is to meet you where you are, providing you support and guidance in a safe, nonjudgmental space to help achieve your goals and improve your quality of life. My goal is to assist you in learning and practicing effective strategies to increase your insight while discovering your authentic self, develop relational connections, and finding your purpose.
My therapy style uses Eclectic (Integrative) Therapy with a Humanistic-Existential Therapy lens that also draws influence from Gestalt, Client Centered Therapy, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Christian Counseling.
Taking the first step towards therapy can be challenging, but it’s a crucial one for improving your wellbeing. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to work with you and provide support during this journey. Let’s begin this process together to help you achieve your goals and enhance your quality of life.
Just so you know, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to assist you effectively in either language.
