Hello everyone! I have been licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor beginning as of October 2016 and have approximately 4 years of prior experience providing counseling-related services to individuals in my community. As a graduate student, I had the opportunity to implement counseling techniques and a variety of theoretical approaches at a private practice as well as within the university's community counseling clinic. I have learned much from past work at a behavioral and mental health outpatient clinic. As of recently, I have provided individual, group, and family counseling to unaccompanied minors seeking reunification in the United States and have assessed for mental concerns as well as have provided counseling for presenting issues including, but not limited to, acculturation, adjustment, behavior, goal-setting, self-esteem, and self-harm. I have provided counseling to those impacted by depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and daily life concerns such as finances, relationships, and careers. The experience obtained working with individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder and sexual abuse and trauma have provided me with the opportunity to empower individuals through teaching healthy coping skills and positive self-regard. Utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches with clients including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy, and the humanistic approach, depend on one's preference, however, working together towards identifying what one prefers and will benefit from, in unison with a strong, therapeutic bond compose the foundation for your success. I truly look forward to working with you and helping to guide you through life's difficulties. You are the expert of your life and I am here to help redirect you back towards your happiness with the unique and wonderful skills you already maintain. Let's work together to discover how you can regain your confidence and continue to bloom!

My name is Jennifer L. Segura, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Texas. I have been a counselor for 16 years, dedicating my services to helping children. In the last three years I have had the privilege of expanding my expertise to include obtaining my LPC and working with adults in different settings and stages of life. No matter the age, when we experience difficulties in our lives brought upon by divorce, career changes, grief, or traumas I feel that we don’t always have the resources or coping sills needed to deal with these challenges. I applaud you for your courage and taking a step in a positive direction to seek help! My approach to counseling is being present/listening and providing a nonjudgmental space to help you grow and heal by addressing your needs. I am very client-centered and believe you do have the power to reach your fullest potential/life goals, but my approach is that it may also take work/commitment and learning how to change thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. My counseling methods may also include cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, psychoeducational and mindfulness. I do enjoy practicing what I preach and taking mindful walks and meditation minutes. I believe self-care is essential in our busy lives, we need to embrace the practice and not allow ourselves to be shamed by embracing what we need. I would like to help you lead a more fulfilling life. I specialize in the following areas: • Anxiety (social, generalized) • Adjustment Issues/Disorders • Trauma & Stress Related Concerns • Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity • Problems related to family/interpersonal relationships I would be grateful to work with you and grateful that you found the courage to seek help!

“Counseling is like a journey, it’s your journey, I am only a guide, still I am willing to take this journey with you and walk beside you while providing the support you need”. On this journey if we discover you have a broken heart, we can find and pick up the pieces so you can be free to love, receive love and trust again. Maybe you've been hurt so bad and feel numb, let’s go searching for that person who once cared, and you can take what you can carry, and we’ll leave the rest behind Hello, my name is Daniel Carney, and I am Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and over the past 25 years I have lead many on a journey of discovering the obstacle/s which are preventing them from living the life they choose to live, plus finding a path which leads to awareness of a true life purpose, and helping each to instill the courage and self-confidence to live the life they choose to live, a life of meaning. My experience with counseling has led to the belief that not only are all unique, but also how each interprets their life experiences. Thus, my approach to counseling is not restricted to a one-size-fits-all perceptive that’s why I have learned to utilize an integrated approach to counseling. This elective approach allows me to draw from a variety of contemporary evidence-based theories/techniques that are proven most effective in addressing each individual concern, while taking into consideration each person’s unique personality characteristics and experiences. Through the means of acceptance, respect, listening, and understanding, I strive in providing a safe and supportive interactive environment; a place where individuals feel safe and free to explore their inner and external worlds. I have experience in helping clients with: Anxiety/Stress Issues, Depressive/Mood Symptoms, Relationship Issues, Trauma, Vocational/Career, Personality Disorders, Bereavement/Grief/Loss, and Spirituality/Religious Issues and work with Couples and ages 12 and beyond. So are you ready to take your journey
