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.

My name is Angie Novak and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have 15 years of experience working with clients of all ages in several different settings and backgrounds. For human beings of all ages, mental and emotional well-being are crucial to building healthy relationships with self, family, friends, and peers.

As a therapist, my job is to listen and meet you where you are; thereby creating a healthy, safe, therapeutic relationship.

Through the therapeutic process, you can learn to grow emotionally and move forward with strength as you work to build a life of your choosing.

I am a down-to-earth, easy to talk to counselor who has experienced a lot in my life. I relate well, am not judgmental about anything, and will give my all to help a client grow mentally. I have worked with kids and adults alike, for over 18 years, in a variety of areas. If I feel that I cannot help you, I am honest and will help you find someone who can. Counseling and mental health is a passion of mine, more than it is a job. I have been in private practice for over 3 years, but before that I counseled in a school setting for ages 8 to 19. I also counseled the adults in the school environment, and offered assistance where needed. I believe the brain is a powerful tool, and most people do not believe they are in control of it. I use a lot of Cognitive Therapy and EMDR Therapy (along with a few other types of counseling) to assist the clients in gaining that control back and living life to their fullest. I have experience in dealing with anxiety, depression, hopelessness, loneliness, grief, marriage, stress, career confusion, burnout, trauma, and so many more issues going on in the world today.

I have been in counseling for over 40 years while starting out in the church setting. I became a licensed professional counselor about 17 years ago in order to specialize in certain types of counseling. For the past fifteen years, I have been handling Child Protective Services cases. These have involved family dysfunction, addiction, and abuse of different types. I continue to do religious counseling for people searching for spiritual meaning in life. I have undergraduate and graduate degrees in theology. I also have a professional counseling degree in psychology. I was a senior pastor of a evangelical church for forty-three years. I have seen the best and worst in people. I have also seen it in myself. I believe that all people have a positive and successful self. It may take some time to find that person within someone, but it is well worth the search. I use Cognitive-Behavioral therapy as well as Rogerian therapy. Carl Rogers believed that all people deserved to be treated with respect and compassion. I care personally for the clients that I see and invest myself in their wellness.

In my therapy practice, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to deconstruct their worries, traumas, self-doubt, and other concerns that are making their lives painful. My focus is on empowering my clients to identify their strengths, recognize their legacy, and work on their limitations using eclectic therapy techniques tailored to their specific needs. In my therapy practice, I have had the honor of helping individuals navigate a variety of struggles, including substance abuse, domestic violence, self-esteem, life transitions, decision-making, challenges of adapting to a new culture, and relationship/dating issues. My expertise in multiple languages and experience working with marginalized and immigrant populations, particularly South Asians, has given me a deeper insight into their distinctive challenges and requirements.
