Hello My name is Anita and I am a licensed Professional Counselor Associate but I also am a licensed chemical dependency counselor. I have about 5 years of experience treating clients with anything from addiction, depression, PTSD, Grief and loss, and Anger Management issues. I like to think I have the ability to meet the client where they are at and work a program of recovery with the client as a direct lead in his/her own mental health.

I am an empowerment specialist (Therapist) who assists clients in finding their own answers. I understand that most issues that people seek help for, at its core, is devalue. When we are devalued we become very angry and hurt. Therapy is primarily an educational experience in which the client is given new information. The client is able to see how influences from early experiences shape us into the person we have become. Some of those influences are helpful but others are not. In the therapy process we must identify the "schemas" or tendencies that we learned from the elders in our families that have not served us well. Therapy is a journey not a destination. Therapy places a person on a journey of self discovery, open mindedness, and self love. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. I hold a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, now known as Forensic Psychology. I seek to empower my clients and give them their "microphone", their voice back. I seek to assist clients to claim or reclaim their identity and give them permission to claim the original Identity given to them by the creator. A quality life requires tough decisions and courage. Asking for help takes courage. Open up and begin your journey.....the world is waiting on you!

Cecelia A. Maurer MA, LPC I work with adults of any age, individuals only. I do not work with couples or families, although I do work with family and relationship issues. *** Hours: M-F 6:00am-3:00pm. ( Central time zone. )Occasionally, I offer weekend appointments, however, on weekends I’m generally engaging in self-care, most likely out on a bicycle trail somewhere. I’m an early riser, and a true morning person, so I offer appointment times as early as 6am…or possibly earlier if needed. However, in the evening my brain is mush and I am all worded out- so I’m basically useless, therefore, my latest evening appt is 4:00pm. I am a Christian, and a professional counselor licensed in Texas with over 17 years of experience working as both a counselor and life/ academic coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, relationship issues, young adult issues, career challenges, OCD, trauma and spiritual issues. In addition to counseling, I have also worked in higher education as an adjunct instructor and as an academic coach. My counseling style is warm and interactive, yet straightforward. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and short-term, solution focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I offer appointments M-F 6:00am -3:00pm CENTRAL TIME ZONE Change can be difficult but if you are ready to take the first step, I will be happy to help and support you in that effort. I look forward to working with you!

I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be honest—with themselves and with someone else. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and collaborative. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I integrate mindfulness, emotional regulation, and culturally responsive care to support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and identity-related concerns. I especially enjoy working with clients who are ready to slow down, reflect, and build a more grounded relationship with their emotions. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported—without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out. Therapy with me is not about fixing you; it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

When imagining my ideal client, I see individuals from diverse backgrounds—LGBTQ+ youth navigating identity and acceptance, juveniles facing emotional and behavioral challenges during critical developmental years, adults striving for personal growth or healing from past trauma, and men working to overcome stigma around mental health and express vulnerability. Each client brings a unique set of needs: the need to be heard without judgment, to feel safe in their identity, to rebuild trust, and to move toward a more empowered and authentic self. My approach is grounded in existential-phenomenological psychology, which means I focus on understanding each person’s unique lived experience—how they make meaning, face uncertainty, and navigate questions of identity, purpose, and connection. Alongside this foundation, I integrate evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I tailor my approach to meet the needs of each client—whether that’s a teen struggling with identity, an adult working through anxiety or life transitions, someone processing trauma, or a man learning to express emotion in a safe and healthy way.
