Welcome! My name is Sade Beaulieu and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Masters degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Louisiana State University Health Science Center. I have various experiences in working with children, adolescents, and adults within the mental health field. I also conduct group therapy at a local Behavioral Health Hospital working with both adolescents and adults who may struggle with depression, anxiety, suicidal idealization, trauma, grief and substance abuse. My treatment approach is eclectic, and collaborative in nature; I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques and approaches (e.g. Existential, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Belief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Music Therapy, and Trauma Focused therapy) to best assist with identifying the needs of my clients. My goal is to help you process your feelings, build strong relationships and empower you to becoming a better you. At times I might recommend reading a book, providing you a handout, or even have you complete a worksheet to aid you in achieving your goals. I have recognized that by treating individuals mental health, I am doing more than just treating a diagnosis I'm treating a person that brings their own unique struggles, background, needs, values and beliefs. From the moment you start working with me your specific needs such as health, happiness and wellness are a top priority. I look forward with working with you!

Welcome! My name is Gerri and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. Counseling is my passion and it’s something I always wanted to do. I have about 3 years’ experience which include working in many settings, such as individual, group and family counseling. Some areas of my expertise include domestic violence, relationships, anger, anxiety, stress, co-dependency, drug/alcohol addiction, adoption, trauma, and abuse. There is no trouble too small or too big, it’s all important. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me. I use all theories in counseling. It all depends on my client for which direction to go. If we need to focus on the past, present or prepare for the future, I will be supporting. Sometimes counseling can be difficult, and it might be uncomfortable or painful, but I will always be supporting through the whole process. My goal is to be the passenger and the client be the driver. I plan to be there every turn we make, even in the difficult turns. I am here for you, even if it’s just to let something out. My goal is to be the strength you need to become a better you. I plan to support you, and to encourage you to become more confident. My success is a better you! I look forward to hearing from you.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.

How much does therapy with a licensed therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person Texas therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $65 to $100 per week. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Is it possible to find a therapist, counselor, or psychology practitioner that offers affordable therapy?

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

When should I get a therapist in Texas?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

What can a psychologist help me with in therapy?

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover the cost of in-person or online therapy with a therapist in Texas?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Are online therapy sessions the safe option?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
