In life, you can feel like you're at a crossroads. You're unsure of where to go, and sometimes, those roads can feel dangerous, especially if you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or any other mental disorder. A counselor based in Victoria can help you with this problem, and much more.
Victoria is known as “the crossroads” because of its location between different cities. It’s a great way to symbolize life. Sometimes, you don't know which road to take, and you don't know where it leads. A counselor can be your map who can make the decision easier. By picking a road, you can be in a better place.

Jonathan Richard
Hello! My name is Jon Richard, LPC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works in Austin, Texas. After graduating from the Masters of Arts in Counseling (MAC) program at St. Edward's University, I completed an internship at Capital Area Counseling (CAC) which is the most rewarding chapter of my adult life. At CAC, I discovered my therapeutic "voice" while counseling a diverse sample of the population (those who suffered from addiction, gender dysphoria, divorce, the harsh realities of youth and middle age). By "therapeutic voice" I mean that a person-centered approach was congruent with my easy-going personality. I felt more authentic with clients when we engaged in a loose, organic conversations (sometimes informed by cognitive behavioral therapy). Since that time, I have gravitated toward Solution Focused Brief Therapy (though I cannot market myself as an official SFBT therapist). I find SFBT to be particularly liberating because it leads with inspiring the client by asking them about their desired outcome. Once I learn what difference you would like to notice in yourself, my line of questions will focus on your previous experience with happiness/success. The more vividly you can describe your history with the desired outcome, the more possible it seems. The popular saying amongst SFBT experts like Elliott Connie, MA, LPC is "It's simple, but it's not easy". I cannot promise "easy", but I will say that the journey will be meaningful and invigorating.

Dr. Audni Miller
Hi! My first name “Audni” is pronounced “Audnee,” not to be confused with “Audrey” or “Audi,” the automobile. Since we like to know where people come from, I'll start by owning up to my Texas heritage. After living in Ohio and Maine, I returned to Texas 13 years ago as a civilian social worker and therapist for the military. Now in private practice as a therapist, I treat clients who seek help for such issues as anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, life transitions, relationship matters, and questions about their purpose, role and identity. My work is client-centered, helping clients to achieve their goals for an emotionally healthy, safe, and satisfying life. Treatment approaches include solution-focused therapy, cognitive-based therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic talk therapy, psychoanalytically informed therapy, and sensorimotor psychotherapy. My education, training, and experience for this work started with a B.A. Degree in English and Drama, an M.A. Degree in Communication, a PhD Degree in Education, and a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW). I have had multiple careers in higher education, corporate training, and social work in public and private organizations. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been a therapist for 17 years. For clients who participate fully, I know from experience that therapy will open many pathways for their desired change and growth!
