Hello! My name is Jonathan Caballero, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I received my BA in Psychology from Texas State University, and my MA in Counseling from St. Edward's University in Austin, TX. While in Austin, my work was primarily focused on gender dysphoria, coming out, and other issues specific to the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy working with parents who may have a child who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and might have difficulty accepting their child as they are due to fear, cultural conflicts, or a lack of understanding. I can help educate you and guide you throughout your journey of discovery. I also have extensive experience and strong interest in working with trauma, depression, anxiety, and problem associated with life transitions. My approach is experience driven and real. I tend to stay away from clinical jargon and try my best to form organic and trusting relationships with my clients. Therapy should not be frightening, and I do my best to provide my clients with a sense of calmness throughout the therapeutic process.

Hi! My name is Liliana Palacios, and I want to tell you that I've spent the last 18 years helping people from all walks of life through their troubles and successes, being their cheerleader and advisor through thick and thin alike. I am originally from Mexico City and lived there until I was 24. There, I went to college and earned a BS in Organizational Psychology. Moving to the United States as a young mother, I decided to focus my energy and efforts on being a mother to my two girls, but that didn't stop me from pursuing and earning my MA in Professional Counseling. While being a stay-at-home mom, I volunteered for several years at the local Mental Health Mental Retardation agency and as a crisis line phone volunteer with Contact Crisis Line. After finishing my education and becoming independently licensed, I started working with parents and children who had suffered abuse and women victims of domestic violence. Some of the issues that I have expertise in are relationship violence, childhood sexual abuse, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol abuse, marital problems, parenting coaching and training, delinquency in youth, and problems of childhood and adolescence. I have also facilitated domestic violence support groups for Hispanic victims and parenting classes in Spanish for parents of children and adolescents. Over the past 14 years, I have focused my work on advocating, assisting, and guiding parents of children on the autism spectrum in looking for services and support for themselves or their children. Previously, I worked closely with caregivers of elderly or ill loved ones during all the stages of caregiving and end-of-life concerns. I am a nationally certified counselor and clinical trauma professional, and I have trained extensively in grief counseling and therapeutics. Now, I believe that no matter how many fancy titles and certificates one might have, the success of a therapeutic relationship depends a lot on finding the right person for your current situation. I like to be warm, supportive, friendly, and open. Still, I will not sugarcoat or hesitate to tell my clients when I feel they are doing something that can bring them trouble or hurt them more than help. Therapy is a process of self-discovery, finding our inner strengths, and learning how to be happy, fulfilled, whole, and fully present for ourselves and our loved ones. I hope we have a chance to get to work together to get you to where you want and deserve to be! In good health, Liliana "It's not the load that breaks you down. It's how you carry it". Lena Thorne

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

- With therapists: $100-300
