Therapists in Baytown, TX

I work with a variety of clients with differing ages and cultural and environmental backgrounds. My clients range from ages 12 years old and up. My first priority is meeting the client where they are, mentally and emotionally, and ensuring they feel safe and judgement-free.

I am a licensed professional counselor and a Ph.D. candidate with clinical experience starting in 2005. I assist individuals, couples, and families in resolving issues such as ADHD, Anger Management, Anxiety, Coping Skills, Behavioral Issues, Aging, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality, Career Counseling, Codependency, Depression, Domestic Abuse/Violence, Life Coaching, Family Conflict, Emotional Disturbance, Life Transitions, Job Stress, Grief, and many more. I use a mix of Couples ACT, EFT, EMDR, DBT, CBT, MBCT, and many more. I believe in building on my client's strengths to attain the growth and changes they want to achieve.

As a Professional Counselor, I meet new clients with great interest. While getting acquainted, I like to note their strong qualities/abilities as well as recognize areas that need improvement to resolve pain or discomfort. I want to explore my client's own goals and seek methods that may help him/her approach them. I am ready to use cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, psychodynamic or supportive therapy--whichever method or combination appears to be the best approach for the particular client with his/her particular needs. Sometimes, a new way of viewing a problem area is enough to accomplish major improvement.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Are you struggling with self doubt, anxiety, sadness, loss or experiencing a life change? At times we all need help sorting out life's complexities. Many times, life changes can feel confusing or unbearable. You may feel alone and isolated, not good enough or afraid to make decisions as you navigate life. My role as a therapist is to serve as a guide to help you achieve personal growth, recognize your strengths and abilities and regain control of your life. Seeking to deal with passed trauma or abuse? I am an EMDR trained therapist. After 5:00pm availabile. Not seeing couples

Sometimes life gets too hard to take and you feel alone. Maybe you feel alone in dealing with your increasing depression and anxiety, or that of your loved one. Maybe you feel alone in parenting a complicated teenager. Maybe things are so overwhelming that unhealthy habits, such as substance abuse or self-harming thoughts, have taken over your life. You want to feel heard and understood, so that you can figure out how to make it better, and get the tools to help you or your loved one get to a healthy mental and emotional state.

As a LPC, I have been gifted to operate as a Counselor and I do not take my gift lightly. My goal is to be the voice for those that have never been allowed to speak up for themselves, those that have never realized the beauty they possess and especially those that have never realized their full potential in life. It is a wonderful thing when an individual realizes their worth and begins to walk in it; that is the beauty of Pearl's of Wisdom seeing the metamorphosis of the client base. Being able to observe a client walk into their destiny is fulfilling and what I strive for on a daily basis.

I love providing hope and optimism to individuals and families by allowing them to be an active part in improving and healing their lives. It is a wonderful gift to witness a person overcoming challenges, achieving their goals, and enjoying their ability to embrace life! I specialize in therapeutic services that rebuild intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, along with therapeutic services for those who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, co-occurring mental health and substance abuse, and/or going through a life transition.

Depressed, moody, anxious and troubled more often than not these days, your work and relationships are suffering in the background as you try to "get a grip". From sad and tired to anxious, agitated or even angry... the emotions are exhausting. At this point, simply feeling content feels far away. Something needs to change and I can help. Often we forget that anxiety and depression are companions to things like crisis, change, grief, loneliness, conflict and many other conditions. Struggling to cope with what is in front of you right now, while also managing your anxiety or get a handle on your depressed mood might feel impossible.

I am passionate about reducing the stigma associated with mental health treatment and am very transparent about being recently diagnosed with ADHD. I am a strong advocate for the neurodivergent community and practice from an affirming standpoint. My clients are the experts of their lives and I'm here to empower them, encourage them, and walk alongside them. I offer a warm, direct, and down to earth approach in therapy. I make it a point to never make my clients feel as though I have it all figured out. I'm just another human being living out my God given calling on my life.

My ideal client struggles with anxiety, depression, and difficult life adjustments. I enjoy helping patients reach their full potential and helping them navigate through life, especially during difficult times.I believe in achieving high-quality work as a therapist, which means meeting an individual where they are. This looks like listening to someone, without judgment, to understand/analyze their wants and needs. This also means understanding where they are on their journey and trying to find ways in which I can assist them in reaching their goals.
