Counseling Services

So, what is it you do?

Counseling is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the clinician and client, and the particular problems you are experiencing. There are many different methods we employ to deal with the problems that you hope to address. Counseling is not like a medical doctor visit. Instead, it calls for a very active and collaborative effort including both therapist and client. Ideally the counseling session provides you with tools, insights, and information which will require you to apply outside the clinical setting and honing them through the counseling process.

The Ministry of Counseling and Enrichment employs and contracts with professionally licensed clinicians within the State of Texas. Some clinicians hold multiple licenses and certifications. Some of the credentials include Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), License Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Psychologist, and Registered Play Therapist (RPT)
