Hi and thank you for taking time to read my profile! I have been working in the counseling field in various settings and a variety of populations for over twenty-five years. I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas specializing in therapy for women. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting problems, career challenges, postpartum depression, and hormone-related mood disorders. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I take this work very seriously, but myself, not so much. The therapy environment should feel comfortable, friendly and open so that my clients achieve a level of connection and vulnerability that allows them to make real and lasting changes in their lives. My approach combines EFT (emotion-focused therapy), relational and solution-focused counseling. Every client is unique, as are their counseling needs, so together we will tailor a treatment plan that works best for you and the goals you set during our sessions. It takes courage to reach out for help and seek a more fulfilling life. Change can be difficult as can prioritizing yourself and your mental and emotional needs. If you are ready to move forward toward a better and happier version of yourself, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! Stacey D. Conner MA, LPC-S

My name is Sylvia Akingbade, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have worked in the mental health field for over seven years, providing support to children, adults, and individuals who are elderly or living with disabilities. Through these years of experience, I’ve come to deeply understand that we all need someone to help us process life’s challenges. Sitting with people from all walks of life, I’ve realized that this work is more than a career—it’s my calling. I approach therapy with a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy. CBT offers a collaborative framework where we work together to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, always keeping your goals at the forefront. Person-Centered Therapy allows you to take the lead in our sessions, creating a space that is driven by your needs and comfort level. I believe in meeting you where you are, with empathy and without judgment. In every session, my goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. You are in control of your journey, and I am here to guide and support you along the way. I believe that when we focus on you as a whole person, the path to healing becomes clearer. It takes courage to take the first step, and I encourage you to keep showing up—for yourself and for the growth you’re seeking. I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Social Worker in the State of Texas with 25 years of experience ranging from early childhood treatment to the elderly. My approach in therapy is of a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused nature and I have assisted clients with a wide range of concerns including significant life changes, parenting, foster care and adoption, divorce or separation, grief and loss, childhood or adult traumas, family issues, domestic abuse, relationship issues, early childhood intervention and medical needs, compassion fatigue, career, and individual spiritual walk. I focus on assisting the client with addressing emotional struggles and in how to face life events in a way that is safe, healthy and positive for them individually and not in comparison to others as each of our lives are unique and at times complicated. Working with a client to see that their life and situation may be unique BUT that they are definitely NOT ALONE and that there is both Hope and Help, is what drives me to continue with my passion to counsel those seeking support as they take their journey in this life. I want each client to feel that they are being heard and valued as they walk through situations with me and get help finding solutions to their need at hand. Oftentimes, a client simply needs to have a sounding board to help them line out their emotions and a course of action but then at other times they simply need professional support in learning about options for tools to use and approaches they can take as they work to address an issue at hand. The combination of my training in social work along with professional counseling, lends well to me working with a client needing both a person-centered but also a solution-focused approach to assist with positive and supportive change.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
