Frequently asked questions
Counseling can be helpful for anyone—but especially if you find yourself facing challenges like these:
You often feel sad or down without a clear reason.
You’re exhausted, even after getting enough sleep.
Anxiety sometimes feels overwhelming, even making it hard to breathe.
Alcohol or drugs are interfering with your ability to enjoy life.
Concentrating, staying focused, or finishing tasks is a constant struggle.
You’ve experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.
Your relationships often feel hurtful, unfulfilling, or draining.
You or your children are dealing with divorce or the loss of a loved one.
Unresolved issues from the past keep you from enjoying the present.
Family life feels dominated by conflict and constant arguments.
If any of these sound familiar, counseling may provide the support, tools, and healing you need to move forward.
Sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients start with weekly appointments, then—depending on progress and needs—may move to every other week, monthly, or occasional check-ins.
During your first session, you and your therapist will discuss your goals and decide together how often to meet. Most clients begin with weekly sessions, then shift to every other week as progress continues.
At the start of counseling, you and your therapist will set specific goals to guide the process. While it’s hard to predict exactly how long therapy will last, most clients complete counseling once they’ve reached their goals. Many of our referrals actually come from former clients who found success and wanted to recommend us to others.
We have counselors that speak English and Spanish
We offer every client the option to include prayer or Scripture in their counseling, but it’s never required. We respect each client’s spiritual beliefs and preferences. In your first session, you’ll be able to share what feels comfortable for you, and your therapist will honor those choices. Our focus is on supporting your healing—not imposing beliefs.
In Texas, becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) is a rigorous process. After earning a master’s or doctoral degree and passing a national licensing exam, counselors must complete 3,000 hours of supervised experience. During this stage—much like a medical residency—they hold the title LPC-Associate (or LMFT-Associate for marriage and family therapy). While in this phase, they work closely under the guidance of a licensed supervisor (LPC-S).
Yes. Many of our counselors are highly trained in trauma care and use evidence-based approaches that are especially effective for individuals who have experienced trauma. Several of our clinicians are certified in EMDR and Trauma Resolution Therapy.
