Therapists in Texas

Hello! I am excited to be considered as your counselor and friend! I have spent the last 25+ years counseling many diverse people as a minister, Army and hospital chaplain, and now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I hold a doctorate in management and three Master degrees (counseling, religion, ministry), but I also hold a passion for help people who feel lost, broken, abandoned, anxious, or traumatized. I am deeply concerned for the well being of marriages and have lots of experience dealing with couples including those surviving infidelity. I also am a Certified Family Trauma Professional and trained in approaches that help treat trauma. Moreover, as a chaplain I am well acquainted with grief and loss including the loss of a child. My counseling approach is integrative, using aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Constructivist, Solution-Focused, mindfulness, family systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I tend to be analytical and curious. I also try to make the experience fun when I can! The following link allows you take a personality test that will allow me to get to know you: https://bigfive-test.com/ . P.S. Some notes that help me know about you: 1. Make sure you are in Texas, and I know where you are. If you leave the state, we have to postpone sessions. 2. Make sure no one is in the room with you. 3. Make sure you dress appropriately (casual is okay!) 4. If someone joins the session, make sure they view the informed consent and approved by working with Betterhelp. 5. When you first post, I need the following information: A. Your family situation B. Any individual and family past mental health diagnosis' and medications you are on with mg. C. Describe briefly your social support right now. D. Tell me briefly of any traumas you have in your story. E. Any relevant medical conditions that affect your mental well-being. F. Any developmental delays growing up. G. Any substance abuse or addictions that are relevant for us. H. What your strengths and limitations are. F. Finally, more specifics on your presenting problem.

Hi! My first name “Audni” is pronounced “Audnee,” not to be confused with “Audrey” or “Audi,” the automobile. Since we like to know where people come from, I'll start by owning up to my Texas heritage.

My education, training, and experience for this work started with a B.A. Degree in English and Drama, an M.A. Degree in Communication, a PhD Degree in Education, and a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW). I have had multiple careers in higher education, corporate training, and social work in public and private organizations. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been a therapist for 17 years.
