Therapists in Texas

Hi, I am Denise, a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas for over 27 years and still enjoying it. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience working with a wide range of issues including depression, bipolar, anxiety, grief/loss, addiction/recovery and life changes. I have had the opportunity to work in many different levels of care including, outpatient, crisis intervention, intensive outpatient, partial hospital, hospital, and residential care. My counseling style is respectful and interactive. My integrated approach includes theory and techniques from client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral and mindfulness. By combining techniques from various approaches, I can develop a plan of treatment to fit your specific needs more effectively. I appreciate the courage it takes to seek help and strive to work with each client to overcome their challenges, understanding that reaching out for help is the first step on the journey to feeling better. I look forward to working with you.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." -Vivian Greene. For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of providing behavioral health services for individuals experiencing a variety of mental health issues and personal challenges. I believe in empowering my clients through emotional support, gaining insight, learning coping skills, and learning how to challenge those beliefs and thoughts that increase suffering. Along with mindfulness and cognitive approaches, I use somatic therapies that help you access your body's intrinsic healing capabilities. I would like to work with you to help you achieve lasting changes in your life. My counseling style is collaborative, compassionate, empowering, and goal-directed. I'm an empathetic listener, and I also teach, gently challenge, inspire, motivate, and encourage you to come to your own conclusions. I am a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and I have integrated these skills in my practice since 2015. I am also trained in Integral Somatic Psychology.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas and have 14 years of experience, with the last 6 of those years including clinical supervision for incoming licensed professionals. I have worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders and trauma. I have also worked with families and couples who are having parenting, relationship, or infidelity issues and LGBTQ+. A particular niche has also been to work with incoming college students (both young and old) in guiding them into a focused and clear college and career path. My therapy style is gently, warm, and non-judgmental and I tailor sessions to each specific client. I primarily utilize Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I believe the best therapist will "work themselves out of a job" by empowering the client to become their own best ally instead of their own worst enemy. In other words, with proper support, I have complete faith in your ability to learn, grow, transform and rise above your current problems. I am already proud of you for taking charge of your own mental health and taking positive steps for your future. I look forward to working with you!

Life can be hard work and I am here to help you through the inevitable struggles. Whether you are facing a major circumstantial stressor, or if there are continuing patterns that you need to process with a professional, I would be delighted to walk with you through your therapeutic needs as your therapist. I have extensive experience working with a wide spectrum of individuals with varying mental health, cultural, racial, religious, sexual, and gender backgrounds. My main goal as your therapist is to help you feel seen, valued, and empowered to be the best version of yourself. After obtaining my Master's Degree in counseling over a decade ago, I completed a post-masters internship at a large, non-profit counseling center in the Houston metro area.  After obtaining my license, I continued to work in the non-profit sector and also continued in private practice. Over the years I have completed additional training in working with both married and dating couples through John Gottman method training, the premier researcher on marital success, satisfaction, and therapy. I also continued my education by becoming a certified sex therapist. Although I have an extensive background working with couples, therapy comes down each individual’s work in their own lives. All of my training and education has carried with it thoughtful integration of current mental health treatment into each individual’s specific therapeutic process. I intentionally create a safe, open space to explore sensitive issues in order for my clients to be able to safely and openly process in a healing environment. What I'm most passionate about is you, the client, and what you need right now at this very moment in your life. I genuinely care about each individual that sits in front of me and I honor each of their stories, where they’ve come from, where they are currently, and the potential they have inside of them. It would be an honor to be your therapist. Feel free to message me to schedule an appointment so we can plan together how to help you have the life you long for.
