Hello, I am Cierra Batiste, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I am also a National Certified Counselor with over 6 years of counseling experience. I attended undergraduate and graduate school in Tennessee where I also received most of my early experience in counseling. I currently reside in Dallas, TX where I do most of my practice. My background is mostly in trauma, depression, substance abuse and troubled youth. I'm currently a doctoral student under the CES program at Capella University. I am also working on my supervision license to gain additional experiences in the counseling field. I currently work in private practice part time and a current director at a behavioral hospital. My treatment approach is person-centered along with cognitive behavioral therapy. My goal is to help individuals that have went through life challenges that have impeded healthy living. With a collaborative effort, we are able to create positive results. Regularly I seek out outdoor activities on the weekend. I also have a love for restaurants and experiencing new cultures.

In a non-judgemental, open, and safe atmosphere we work together on issues you are facing in your life at this time. Perhaps past experiences and trauma are interfering with your life today. Perhaps everything seemed fine up until now and suddenly stress in your home is happening and you don't know what to do. Situations and other people in our life can trigger a wide range of emotions including anger, frustration, deep sadness, uncontrollable anxiety, confusion, fear, and even numbness. Allow me to work with you on your journey from chaos and emotional turmoil to peace and happiness. Working together, we will discover what works best for you. Do you need to talk to someone who will listen and not judge you? Do you need some direction with what to do next? Do you need some coping skills for difficult situations? I have been counseling for over 7 years. It has been my honor to work with people, like you, who struggle at times to navigate day to day life, or are faced with changes, loss, or big decisions. I have worked in various agencies, a psychiatric hospital, and a program for teens and their families. I look forward to working with YOU!
