Throughout my experience, my clients have struggled with fear of the unknown; had difficulty getting started or knowing where to begin; have experienced uncertainty about a new life phase or change, whether expected or unexpected; and have questioned their purpose, goals, roles, or relationships; and ultimately we walked together as they found empowerment and strategies to overcome these challenges. My intention is to help you do the same. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with ten years experience in a variety of roles helping families through parenting issues, and three years of dedicated counseling experience specifically focusing on clinical issues. I received my M.Ed. in Human Development Counseling from Vanderbilt University in 2016, and made a career change to become a counselor. While I have spent time as an administrator and consultant in mental health facilities, my clinical counseling focus is anxiety/ depression, motivational issues, parenting struggles, trauma and PTSD, family issues, and substance abuse and recovery. Within my experience as a substance abuse counselor, I have worked with veterans, other counselors, individuals, groups, and families to understand, approach, and maintain a life of recovery. Having provided therapy and administrative services in the world of adolescent mental health, I have significant experience helping parents to understand and empower their child through difficult times. Through counseling and consultation, I have also provided workshops and trainings for business professionals looking to improve the effectiveness of and cohesion in their professional team. My approach combines a person-centered approach with cognitive and reality therapy in order to let you be the expert about your life. My goal is to understand where you feel "stuck," help you to envision what you want for your life and where you're trying to go, collaborate with you to develop the necessary steps, and provide the counseling along the way to help you achieve your vision.

Greetings, I have been privileged to serve as a counselor to individuals and families for over thirty-five years and have worked with people of different ages, races, nationalities, and gender preferences. Over the years I have worked primarily in mental health, family guidance, and rehab clinics. I also have had a private practice for over 12 years. People have entered counseling with me for a great variety of problems: stress, depression, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, loss, addictions and painful relationships. Some have suffered from serious mental illness; others are facing one of life’s many difficult situations and would like some guidance. As far as education, I have a doctorate in counseling and am a licensed master social worker and licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Texas. I have studied many different modalities of therapy and have incorporated those that work best for my clients into my practice. This allows me to focus on the individual in front of me (or on screen) and work with them in a way that respects their values and preferred pathways to change. Most people who work with me find me to be supportive, encouraging, honest, and insightful. They succeed in accomplishing the goals that they set for themselves and begin to live a life they enjoy. I hope that you will contact me and discover for yourself that these things are true.

David Benavidez
I'm David Benavidez. Throughout my time as a therapist, I have come to learn to see myself as a relationship consultant. It's been my experience that people often lose connection with not only others but themselves during their struggles. I hope to help people assess and restore those connections, while exploring the potential to enhance the quality of those bonds. I a draw from both modern and postmodern approaches, mostly utilizing collaborative therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in conjunction with one another. I also draw from the font on Jungian psychology to add perspective to my client's situations. I've been in the business for six years- I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. Therapy can feel like a daunting process, but I will treat you with respect and empathy each step of the way.
