Therapists in Texas

I am LaQuesia, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with over 15 years of experience advocating for individuals and families affected by trauma and mental health challenges. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling from Texas A&M University-Commerce and have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including private practice, residential treatment, hospitalization, and schools. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from Family Systems, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe the family unit plays a vital role in the healing process, and I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate their unique dynamics. I specialize in working with clients facing trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, and family dysfunctions. My goal is to support you in finding meaningful solutions and fostering growth as you work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. I look forward to walking with you on your journey!

I am a LPC-S, LCDC, TF-CBT Certified Therapist. I have over 19 years experience working with various populations ie high risk youth and adults; in addition to various emotional disturbances ie depression, trauma, anxiety, strained relationships and grief. I believe the therapeutic goals include the here-and-now; make known what is unknown; challenging faulty thinking; have clients to get in touch with self and make choices that would lead to better quality of life; with the listed goals, I as a therapist offer listening skills, genuineness, empathy, unconditional acceptance and respect to each client. I look forward to working with you!

Life can come at you hard; however, it doesn’t have to break you. Are you struggling with depression- sadness that has lasted too long, anxiety, anger, everyday life issues related to marriage, family? Allow me to walk with you on your journey to healing. Together we can conquer the mental challenges that may be preventing you from living your best life. When life is coming at you hard it is forcing you to free yourself from the familiar and face your brand-new life which may seem scary. That is where I come in. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I provide assistance and real-life practical tools for issues that affect daily life management and help motivate individuals and couples to reach their full potential. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidenced-based practices we can learn to change the way we think, which changes the way we feel, which in turn changes the way we view and handle tough situations. As a therapist, I am very straightforward. I will get in the trenches with you helping you confront the tough issues while encouraging you to move forward in the process. I would love to help you make lasting changes to get the desired results in your life and relationships. Oh, unfortunately, one of my children broke my magic wand so you will have to do the work. I can't wait to join you on your journey.

I have been providing counseling for the past 40 years. I began my career at MHMR, gaining experience in individual and family therapy. I moved on to private practice focusing on abuse issues and trauma, depression, anxiety, anger management and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I have seen over 100 Vietnam Veterans and 10 Desert Storm Veterans for diagnosis and treatment of PTSD. I have also worked with adult and child victims of physical/sexual/emotional abuse. I currently provide counseling services to the local public school system, working with students with an Emotional Disability, Autism and Other Health Impairment (OHI). My approach to counseling is based on trust and communication. Without a healthy therapeutic relationship, counseling is usually non-effective. I believe, broadly, in a Cognitive-Behavioral approach. However, processing of emotional issues is sometimes necessary for an individual to move forward in their life. I have found that clients do best when they see that someone is "in their corner." I have been married for 40 years and have a blended family. My wife is Mexican-American, so I have experience in multi-cultural issues. As a parent and grandparent, I am aware of the tremendous issues facing parents of today.
