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.

This work of helping others find peace and purpose in their lives feels like my innate purpose. Therapy is not always easy or enjoyable but if done correctly it will bring about a desirable change. I view the therapeutic process as teamwork for clients and myself. We become equal partners in identifying, processing and developing person-centered solutions to the issues you are facing. I pride myself on being a great listener. This skill has helped me build rapport and trust with clients which both aid the effectiveness of the therapeutic process. I have worked in various mental health settings that afforded me the ability to treat most common and uncommon disorders. I can treat all DSM-5 diagnosis. At the end of this process it is my hope that you are closer to your authentic self and operating from your own place of purpose.
