Navasota is the Blues Capital of Texas because of the late blues musician, Mance Lipscomb who lived in the town. The town was settled as a stagecoach stop in 1831 and was named after the Native American word, Nabatoto, which means muddy water. Although Navasota suffered many disasters such as a warehouse explosion in 1865, a cholera outbreak in 1866, and yellow fever in 1867, the town endured and prospered.

Sometimes, disasters can make you stronger, but others may need a little help or counseling to get them back on track. If you need to talk to a mental health professional for any reason, there are several in and around Navasota who are able to help. Talk to one of them today to set an appointment.

Hi, I am KT. I have over 20 years of university teaching and working with a variety of individuals as a licensed professional counselor (LPG). To name a few of the challenges they wanted to address: anxiety, stress, relationship/communication issues, anger management, resiliency, survivors of sexual trauma and abuse, self-development challenges, aging, and/or existential issues. I see myself as a member of your growth team. I believe we all can grow, improve, and celebrate throughout our life spans, if we are willing to do some work. Flexibility is important. We will set goals and revise them as needed, utilizing science-based treatment strategies as we work to help you. There is no cookie-cutter answer. You should gain coping skills and strategies to help your growth. I collaborate with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared safely without fear of shame or judgment. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, respectful of spirituality, diversity, and culture. I describe myself as a lifelong learner who is caring, sensitive, and empathic, and I am in awe of people's courage and hope. I know it is difficult to reach out and talk with a stranger the first few times, but it is worth the effort. Take good care. Karena T. Valkyrie, PhD, LPC (TX) "KT"
