I am a clinical psychologist, licensed as a psychologist in the State of Texas, and completed by training at an American Psychological Association approved institution, the University of Houston, University Park. I am trained to work with children, teens and adults who present with symptoms of trauma, depression, and anxiety. I am a licensed specialist in school psychology and have many years of experience working with children in the school setting.
As a psychologist who has been trained to conduct psychological assessments and to use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I find myself using assessment methods to assist with diagnoses, treatment planning and goals to help chart the course of therapy and monitor progress, and CBT as a therapeutic intervention to assist the patient in gaining insight, self-monitoring their emotions, as well as, gaining strategies to self-regulate and improve their coping skills.
The clients I see should expect to learn how to identify their maladaptive behaviors and learn skills that help them to cope adaptively with their presenting problems.
