My Approach to Helping
Hi, I'm Sylvia.
Life can be difficult and overwhelming, and we may feel lost and confused about what to do to handle life stressors. I genuinely care about your well-being and will help you identify practical skills to aid in dealing with anxiety, depression, and an array of other concerns. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but together, we will find the technique that works for you.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. In 2000, I graduated from the University of Texas at Brownsville with a Master of Education degree in Guidance and Counseling. I have 20 years of experience as a counselor. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults.
I am currently working only with adults. I only do individual counseling. I don't do couples therapy. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered, and Solution Focus Therapy to help my clients identify techniques and coping skills that will work for them. Providing clients with an opportunity to express themselves without judgment. Helping clients work through issues, inspiring and motivating them to be all they are capable of being. Helping them find hope when they feel hopeless.
