Our counselors offer counseling for teens in Odessa, TX

I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a Master's in Social Work and several years of experience across a range of settings, including individual counseling and suicide prevention programs in rural Texas schools. I work with children and adolescents navigating self-esteem, trauma, social challenges, anxiety, depression, coping skills, and behavioral issues, as well as adults facing trauma, mood and personality disorders, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, and depression. My clients are often seeking space to build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop tools for lasting change.

I integrate DBT and CBT for practical coping skills, play therapy for younger clients, and psychodynamic work to explore deeper roots of struggle through a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens. Using motivational interviewing, I meet clients where they are, helping them build insight, resilience, and lasting change at their own pace.

Whatever brought you here, know that reaching out takes real courage, and you don't have to carry it alone. As someone who understands the cultural weight placed on silence and strength, I hold space for you to feel seen, respected, and understood, as you are. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you take this next step toward healing.

I am passionate about supporting teens, adults, and couples in Texas reduce anxiety, manage stress, and build resilience. I offer a warm, direct, and honest approach focused on addressing symptoms such as chronic worry, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, and difficulty setting boundaries using practical strategies. I also provide Christian faith-based counseling upon request.

I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a 4.0 GPA over five years ago. I am also credentialed as a Master Certified Professional Coach (MCPC) and was previously Board Certified as a National Certified Counselor by the NBCC.

Previous experience with clients was in psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, in schools and in homes. He feels privileged to share the journey of many people on their journey to wellness as they learn to manage mental illness, difficult relationships or other events in their lives. Roy feels that the sense of being heard and understood is an essential component to effective treatment and understanding what approaches best suit an individual or family. He believes that change comes from learning to maximize strengths and increasing ability to see beyond what feels limiting.  

Roy works with children as young as age 6+, families, and individuals with learning and cognitive differences, chronic mental health conditions, depression, anxiety and more. Roy utilizes mindfulness, CBT, psychoeducation and experiential strategies to help clients experience change toward meeting their goals. 

I am a licensed professional counselor associate (LPCA) with 7 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through emotional and relational challenges. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, communication difficulties, eating disorders, and life stressors. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, gain new perspectives, and feel more empowered in their daily lives.

I earned my master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Abilene Christian University. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing to help clients build practical tools for lasting change.

I understand that reaching out for support can be a vulnerable and overwhelming experience. I create a safe, compassionate space where you feel respected and heard. Together, we’ll identify root concerns, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful growth. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule a session and begin your journey forward.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist with experience supporting adults and teens navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, self-esteem, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I often work with clients who appear capable and successful on the outside but are struggling internally or repeating patterns they’re ready to change. My clients are often seeking greater clarity, healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, emotional balance, and a deeper understanding of themselves so they can move forward with confidence and intention.

I take a direct, supportive, and collaborative approach to therapy, combining evidence-based strategies with honest conversation and practical tools you can use outside of sessions. Together, we identify patterns, strengthen coping skills and boundaries, and build greater self-awareness so you can create lasting, meaningful change.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to change, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and intention. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take that next step for yourself.
