Paola Velazquez

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of experience and specialized training in OCD and trauma. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma‐informed, grounded in the belief that people already carry meaningful strengths within themselves.

Therapy with me is a steady, supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, needs, and values at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re navigating intrusive thoughts, compulsions, trauma responses, or feeling stuck, our work focuses on healing, growth, and reconnecting with your resilience so you can feel more present and aligned in your daily life.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma‐informed. I specialize in OCD and trauma, and I use ERP, EMDR, CPT, ACT, and person‐centered therapy to support clients in a way that feels deeply supportive.

I focus on helping people understand their thoughts, feelings, and values while building practical skills that promote healing and meaningful change. My goal is to create a steady, safe space where you can feel empowered, understood, and connected to your own resilience.

In our first session, you can expect a calm, supportive space where we talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to work toward. I’ll ask about your current concerns and history at a pace that feels comfortable, and you won’t be asked to share anything before you’re ready.

I focus on creating safety from the start. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer sense of your goals and how we can move forward together.
