Therapists in Texas

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.

Over the last decade, I have supported clients through uncertainty, devastating loss, and unimaginable hardships. Taking each experience in stride through therapy, has created lasting change for clients, and for myself. Personally, I also have known deep loss, emotional suffering, and have moved through what seemed like unending darkness. Humbled by the journey, I offer a place for fellow travelers to reset, refocus, and forge a path forward with a new set of skills and understanding. To accumulate evidence-based counseling skills, I earned a Bachelors in Psychology and a Master's in Counseling from the University of Texas-San Antonio. Additionally, I hold a Master's in Business Administration from University of Texas- Rio Grande Valley. With a well rounded educational foundation, I am fluent in addressing challenges across various walks of life. Grief is a universal burden that we all must carry at some point in our lives. Just like any heavy load, things can quickly feel unbalanced, putting goals at risk, interrupting progress, or shutting you down all together. You are not alone, and this is not just "all in your head." Finding a soft place to land, where its safe to say what you are thinking and feeling, is important for healing and growth after life's traumas have touched your life. Therapy can be that place. I offer you a safe space, and provide you with compassion, validation, and education. Trauma is a complex set of symptoms that can make sense when we apply the best fitting lens for your personal situation. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other conditions can complicate coping, making it challenging to move forward with confidence. Your unique experiences are welcome here. Feeling lost with no one to turn to who understands can prolong personal suffering. Its time to face what is driving you towards unhealthy coping habits, toxic relationships, and situational conflict. When you are ready, I invite you to access your strengths through therapy.

Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience providing therapy services. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings including: inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, partial and intensive outpatient care, and managing a private practice in the Austin community. I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma and relationship challenges. Originally from Chicago, I moved to Austin, TX during the summer of 2017 to continue my work in therapy. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and my Masters degree in Social Work at Loyola University Chicago. My approach to therapy is client centered: clients are the experts on their lives and determine the direction and depth of therapy. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I support clients through developing skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation with the goal of moving clients towards a life involving the capacity for experiencing joy and freedom. I am trained in EMDR and use this approach to support clients through their healing with traumatic experiences. Outside of my work as a therapist, I practice yoga as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). I also enjoy reading, cooking, spending time with my family, and traveling to new places.

Hello I’m Andie, and I’d love to spend some time with you. In my experience as a human being, I have come to recognize that there is a vital connection between what we believe about ourselves and how we choose to respond to our circumstance. There is no shame in wanting to have your needs met, and I would be honored to partner with you on your journey to a balanced state of being. I spent my early years in an alcoholic home, and it took me the greater part of my young adulthood to recognize the impact this had on my interactions and relationships. After running that gauntlet alone, my purpose became educating myself and inspiring others to meet their needs in healthy ways. I have since worked with many clients undergoing a variety of circumstances including depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship trouble, substance abuse, parenting difficulties, and childhood trauma. My conversational style is unique and interactive, and my counseling style is customized to meet your circumstances. Whomever you chose to work with, do not stop fighting for the version of yourself that you deserve. With Love, Andie
