Hello and welcome! I am so glad you are here. It takes great courage to take the first step in seeking help. My name is Norma Jean Salinas, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I earned my bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from The University of Texas at Austin, and my master’s degree in mental health counseling with "high distinction" from the University of the Southwest in Hobbs, New Mexico. As a mid-life career changer loving my second act, I have accumulated extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in multiple therapeutic settings. I have also successfully treated individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds who were struggling with a variety of issues and challenges. My style is very warm, empathetic, relaxed, and non-judgmental. At times, I may even use humor if the situation is appropriate. I like to use a client-centered approach because it allows you, the client, to direct your treatment. After all, the client knows himself/herself best and is the expert on his/her own life. My job is to collaborate with you, gently guide you, walk beside you, and hold space for you. I will always meet you where you are at and never force anything upon you. I utilize an eclectic and integrative approach in working with my clients which means I pull from different evidence-based theories, modalities, and techniques so that I can tailor a treatment plan specific to your goals and needs because there is a no one-size-fits-all approach. This allows me to give you the various tools and skills that will best benefit you in meeting your goals and needs. Equally important is that you choose the right therapist who’s a good fit for you because building a good and solid therapeutic alliance between you (the client) and your therapist is crucial to a successful outcome. I know that the unknown can be really scary sometimes, but you deserve to feel better and live a full and complete life, so if you are ready to take the next step, and you feel that we would be a good fit, let’s get started. I am here to support, encourage, and empower you, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey. Thank you so much for your consideration. Norma Jean

13 years offering treatment
Hello! My name is Meagan and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with over 11 years of experience and a doctoral graduate from Argosy University (EdD in Counseling Psychology). I have worked with clients whose concerns include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and bipolar disorder. I have helped many clients who have experienced physical trauma and/or emotional abuse as well, and clients who are in the military. My clients have included children, adolescents, and adults who come from diverse backgrounds and have provided these services during individual sessions, couple sessions, family sessions, and group sessions. My counseling style focuses on clients identifying their problems and working with them to develop appropriate coping skills to be address how they act and react to situations. Respect and compassion are keystones in my practice, because I believe these qualities significantly impact how people act and react. My theoretical orientation does not rely on just one basis, but pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, so that the client is not forced into a therapy that he or she might not truly benefit from. I do understand change can be hard and uncomfortable and the courage to ask for help or assistance should be commended. When you are ready, I am here to assist you with any concerns.

*I AM ONLY ABLE TO PROVIDE TELEHEALTH SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS IN THE STATES OF ARKANSAS and TEXAS* Hi, I'm Monique Randle, LCSW and certified sex therapist (CST). Do you often find yourself lying awake at night, replaying conversations and wondering why your relationships feel so draining? Maybe you feel like you're always the one giving more, or perhaps you're struggling with the nagging feeling that you don't quite fit into the traditional molds expected by society. If you're wrestling with anxiety that keeps you second-guessing your worth or actions, you're not alone. In our sessions, we'll dive into the heart of these emotional and cognitive storms. Are you constantly on edge, anticipating conflict or misunderstanding even in calm situations? Do you find yourself pulling away just when things start to get close, or maybe you keep attracting partners who just don't seem to 'get' you? These patterns aren't just habits; they're cries for understanding and change, and I hear them loud and clear. Together, we will explore these feelings and behaviors, focusing solely through individual therapy—because sometimes, the most profound growth happens one-on-one. We'll craft a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions safely and confidentially, without the pressure of conforming to anyone else's expectations. Let's uncover the roots of your distress and journey towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. I'm here to help guide you through self-discovery and beyond, building resilience and joy along the way.
