Therapists in Texas

Hi, My name is Shequitta (Shuh qwee tuh) Lenoir, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota and Texas. I received my B.S. in psychology from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, and my Masters in MFT from Argosy University in Eagan, Minnesota. As early as sixth grade, I have had the desire to help people and be a counselor. I have 13yrs of experience working in the mental health field providing therapy and skills to individuals with severe and persistent mental illness, as well as drug and alcohol addictions. I typically use Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and some Solution Focused techniques to support people in working through their concerns. I enjoy working with people in boosting their self esteem, confidence and awareness so that they can live the best life possible.

Well hello, and welcome to step one of the therapeutic process - finding a therapist. Take a deep breath, and trust your gut. My name is Ebonii Nelson, and I'm an LPC in Texas. In my work, my goal is to enable my clients to live in the here-and-now, take notice of their own experiences, and harness the power that already resides inside in order to create change and live happier, healthier lives. I believe life is about two things: loving and learning, and through our work together clients will be encouraged to reveal and learn from what was or has been, in order to heal and love what is. I am a generalist practitioner, and my style combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic counseling methods. I specialize in working with those aged 19 - 36, however I am committed to helping all individuals. I treat a variety of concerns including anxiety, stress management, goal setting, depression, relationship issues, and self-esteem. My approach to working with clients is straightforward and supportive in order to assist clients in becoming aware of what they are doing, how they are doing it, and how they change themselves, and at the same time, learning to accept and value themselves. Finding the perfect therapist fit is not always easy, but well worth the initial angst. Scary as it may be, you deserve to rediscover your best self, and I look forward to the opportunity to create the safe space that will enable you to reemerge a healthier you.

Sometimes in the journey of life we could all benefit from someone to journey with us during the difficult times. My name is Merissa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over eight years experience in individual counseling as well as advocacy, and mental and emotional health. I specialize in empowering individuals that may be struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, or relationship issues. My main therapeutic approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I believe there is so much power in learning how thoughts influence behavior and emotion and then changing those negative patterns. I also incorporate holistic counseling and solution based therapy among other treatment approaches and tailor my approach to your needs. I am empathetic, non-judgmental, and very passionate about the work I do. I enjoy being able to help others heal, grow and achieve their goals. I am excited about beginning this journey with you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 5 years of experience working with diverse populations that span from young to older adults. I understand and value that every person is unique with different life experiences. Because of that, I aim to provide empathetic and trauma-informed approaches that are specifically tailored to each individual. I believe in every person’s capacity for change and healing, especially when provided with the right tools, strategies, knowledge, and understanding. My therapy style is warm, non-judgmental, at times humorous, and collaborative. I approach each session through a person-centered perspective, which means I strive to empower each client as the expert of their own lives. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. Through collaborative efforts, I aim to provide relevant psychoeducation based on each client's needs and establishing individualized goals that foster growth and healing. Together, we would navigate through difficult experiences, work to bolster self-worth, cultivate mindfulness, and develop effective coping strategies for any presenting concern or symptoms. Additionally, we would begin to identify, understand, and change any unpleasant thoughts and emotions, and unhelpful behavior patterns that may be contributing to present distress. Ultimately, my objective is to support and meet each person where they are at, without judgment, to help assist in creating sustainable, realistic changes and alleviate distressing symptoms which can allow for a more meaningful, authentic life. I hope that we can work together can create a sense of empowerment and healing to navigate personal and life challenges with resilience and authenticity to successfully reclaim control over your life.
