My name is Albert Bell. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a military veteran. This is the first step to gain understanding about your feelings, emotions, and behaviors.

Is your mind constantly bombarded with thoughts of worry, and feelings of constant anxiety that’s negatively impacting your personal and professional life? Are you having a difficult time managing day to day tasks, and lacking motivation to do things that you were once passionate about? Or maybe traumatizing life experiences have impacted you in way that obscured how you see and feel about yourself resulting in patterns of self sabotaging thoughts and behaviors keeping you from recognizing your strengths, and keeping you from moving forward to your Best Self unapologetically.

NOW OFFERING ON-LINE OR TELEHEALTH SESSIONS Reaching out is not easy, and starting your healing journey is less so. Feeling sad, anxious, fearful or hopeless can be scary and lonely for someone who has no idea where to start to get better. While many of the topics shared by my clients are hurtful and frightening, I also find humor can be helpful. I strive to be honest and transparent with my clients while providing them with a safe, non-judgmental space in which to explore all issues you're dealing.

Each person has an innate ability to manage their lives; however, sometimes they become overwhelmed and need help to tap into that natural ability. I can help you turn confusion into clarity and lead a more successful life. I invite you to step into my office, modeled much like my living room. You will feel like a guest in my home; safe, accepted, and relaxed. This encourages the process of healing and change. I understand how difficult starting this journey may be. Setting the appointment is the first step!

Counseling is a tool one uses to identify personal shortcomings as well as gaining insight into one's own self-exploration. My approach to counseling begins with establishing a working collaboration with the client. As a therapist, I believe it is my responsibility to demonstrate to each client that they are in a safe, trusting, environment, and to help them understand why they are having difficulties.

I am a licensed professional counselor and board approved supervisor and have been in practice since 2004. I earned my Masters degree in Counseling in 2002 and doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Supervision in 2005, both from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, grief, shame, relationships, career, life/work balance, and stress management. Additionally, I specialize in working with non-suicidal self-injury. I typically use an integrative perspective; utilizing cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, reality, and client-centered theories to best serve clients.

Are you ready to surrender to the fact that your way of managing your personal and professional life is only making things worse? If so, I am ready to jump in and help! I specialize in conflict resolution, restoring relationships, and improving personal, academic, and professional development. In addition, I help my clients work to identify, explore, address, and resolve any unprocessed traumas or stressors that may be affecting their ability to be the best version of themselves. I not only help clients become new people, I strive to promote change that can break family cycles and significantly improve the entire family's dynamic.

I offer on-line sessions exclusively to clients who live in Texas at this time. "It's not that bad...it could be worse...others have it harder..." If you've said that too many times and for too long, I can help. Some come to therapy in a time of crisis or to recover from trauma, and many others because it's time to stop feeling like "it's not that bad," and begin enjoying life again. Relationships can be improved and emotional states managed. I've seen it happen and I know it's possible for you.
