Hello, I’m Yolanda Pender—a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas and a National Certified Counselor, with 20+ years of progressive counseling experience. I have had the privilege of working with both civilian and military populations, offering individual and couples counseling, marriage mentoring, family support, trauma and grief care, social services, and personal development. While we cannot change the past, together we can work toward understanding its impact and finding meaningful resolutions for the challenges you face today. I approach every client with compassion, honesty, dignity, and respect, creating a safe and supportive space to explore what’s weighing on you and what’s possible for your future. My counseling style is collaborative and interactive, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I draw from humanistic principles while integrating approaches such as Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive and Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, and Psychodynamic insights, among others. My goal is to help you identify the strategies and tools best suited to your growth, well-being, and long-term success. Thank you for considering me as a partner in your journey. I look forward to walking alongside you as we uncover new ways forward and create space for healing, resilience, and renewed hope.

I provide focused, direct therapy for adults and couples across Texas. If you’re ready to look honestly at the patterns shaping your reactions and relationships, we’ll work well together. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who feel stuck in repeating cycles — defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or the same arguments that never get resolved. My work is trauma-informed, which means we pay attention to how past experiences shape present reactions. I help you recognize these patterns as they happen and understand what they’re protecting. When we can see the pattern clearly, we can begin to change it. I also work extensively with adults navigating ADHD, particularly when it affects emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, I focus on identifying reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable communication. Therapy with me is structured, honest, and grounded in safety. We move at a pace that is challenging but not overwhelming. If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level conversations and make meaningful change, I’d be glad to work with you.

Has your day-to-day life become overwhelming? Are you feeling lost along the path of life and unsure what to do next? I believe that we have what it takes to take back control and make our lives the best we can. However, sometimes we need some help making sense of things, and that is where I come in. I believe that with a trusting relationship and a willingness to examine all parts of ourselves, we can begin to find the answers we seek. Using a cognitive behavioral approach, I will work with you to help identify potentially problematic thought patterns that may be holding you back. Life can throw us curveballs, but that does not mean that we have to face things alone. I graduated from Sam Houston State University in 2018, and I am able to help with organization skills and ADHD, addictions, anger, depression and anxiety relief, and helping you see the world through a new light. Times may be tough, but let's see if we can conquer them together!
