Feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? You don’t have to face it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and Registered Play Therapist, helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges with care and understanding.

Through play therapy, children find a safe way to express, process, and heal. Teens and adults receive guidance for trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, individualized, and focused on helping you move forward with confidence.

I bring experience from juvenile and community settings—including Webb County Youth Village Detention Center, Webb County Treatment Program, United Independent School District, and PILLAR—where I’ve supported clients and mentored clinicians.

Together, we can create a space where you or your child feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to grow.

I’m passionate about helping people who often feel misunderstood or overlooked — especially those navigating substance use and mental health challenges. Over the years, I’ve seen how stigma can prevent people from seeking help, and I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

Hello, my name is Celinda Barron, and have been licensed as a Professional Counselor since 2019. I have a Masters of Arts in Guidance and Counseling. As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and family issues. I offer affirming and inclusive care for gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals, and I am deeply committed to creating a safe and supportive space for exploring identity, relationships, and life transitions.

My work also includes helping clients process and heal from grief, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I understand how complex and personal each journey is, and I strive to meet each person with empathy, respect, and authenticity.

Therapeutic Approach

I use a collaborative, evidence-based approach tailored to your needs and goals. My practice draws from:

• Motivational Interviewing (MI) – to help explore ambivalence and build motivation for change
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors
• Humanistic Therapy – to foster self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional healing
• Behavioral Management Therapy – to develop practical strategies for daily challenges, particularly with ADHD and behavioral concerns

Whether you're facing internal struggles, interpersonal difficulties, or identity-related stress, I am here to walk with you—offering guidance, skills, and support every step of the way.

I graduated from West Texas A&M University with a master's degree in Professional Counseling.

I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.

In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.

I believe everyone can improve their quality of life
