Your suffering matters. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, depressed, unmotivated, or confused. Maybe you’re having trouble adjusting to a major change, struggling in a relationship, struggling with work, or concerned about unhealthy patterns. Whatever it is, your hardship matters, and skillful therapy can help.

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.

Trauma and loss can leave you feeling disconnected and alone. You may struggle with anger, depression, and self-blame. You may question who you are or your life's purpose. In therapy, I can help you rediscover your strengths and begin to reconnect. I will compassionately guide you through your most difficult experiences to achieve a new sense of self, strength, and peace.

I am a queer Chicanx therapist and have been learning and teaching mental wellness for 20 years - - it isn’t typical in my culture and generation to look outward for healing. Many of us didn’t realize that we were experiencing shame, guilt, sadness, oppression, or feelings of inadequacy. For some of us this surfaced as young adults and for others, it will never be acknowledged. When I dreamed up the concept of Velasquez House of Healing, I knew it would be designed for this time and place, where we are awakening to our inner wisdom and search for identity, purpose, and ancestral resilience.

Sometimes in life, we feel stuck and unsure of what to do next. Life is hard, and with so many challenges, it can feel overwhelming to know how to take the next steps. No matter what stage of life we are in, our life experiences are pieces of our story. Sometimes these experiences end up having a hold on us. No matter where you are in life, I am here to meet you in that place.

Hello there! My name is Lindsey Best and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and owner of B&L Psychotherapy and consulting. I have been in practice for 18 years providing individual, family and group therapy to a variety of populations. I also have a military treatment background focusing on trauma. I’ve worked with adolescents, adults , and families experiencing a wide range of issues related to, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief/loss, and physical and emotional trauma.

I enjoy working clients from diverse populations but I particularly enjoy working with individuals from hispanic backgrounds. Being hispanic in America is definitely a different experience and sometimes stressful and I help my clients navigate these things. Whether its interpersonal issues with family, friends, relationships, or work I give my clients the tools to navigate major life transitions. I also work with individuals that struggles with anxiety and depression.

I view counseling through a holistic lens, this means I focus on all the dimensions that make a person whole. My goal as a holistic counselor is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself on every level (psychological, physical, emotional, relational, spiritual). I specialize in trauma and fully realize the multitude of ways that trauma affects us (mind, body, spirit). I strive to provide a safe environment where you feel heard, understood, and validated. Together, you and I identify how your belief system has been altered by past experiences and unresolved trauma and work towards restoring your true self.

Thank you for considering me to guide you in your therapeutic process. I am committed to supporting my clients in a therapeutic relationship by implementing professional counseling practices and respectful client service. I work with my clients to establish a healthy mind, body and spirit for needed change, personal growth, and supportive relationships. I empower my clients to focus on their strengths as they explore their potential. In therapy, my clients are mindful of their needs as they reconnect with their true self and explore that which holds them back.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought social isolation, fear about our health and financial worry. Although you may be trying to cope with COVID-19, you may feel anxious, sad, angry or irritable, have difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, changes in appetite, or struggle to engage in daily routines. If these symptoms continue for 2 weeks, it is time to seek help. Hoping symptoms of depression and anxiety will just go away without treatment can result in worsening of symptoms. I am experienced in working with adults with growing up issues, adjustments, current and past trauma, loss, life transitions and chronic illness.
