As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe life is definitely a journey filled with emotions that takes us down different paths. During troubled times, these emotions and feelings may be hard to understand. Although the journey for everyone may be different, our experiences stem from similar scenarios.
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:
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 am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling. With over nine years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, and relationship difficulties.
For those who value efficiency. My approach is direct, strategic, and results-driven.
You are driven, smart, and successful. Something is keeping you stuck. Let’s investigate and make real progress. I work a little differently. Direct feedback, thoughtful goals, and therapy that is intentional, not endless.
If you’ve been carrying too much for too long, therapy can be a place to finally exhale. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and Oklahoma, and I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, and recovery from narcissistic abuse. Many of my clients feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to offer a compassionate, supportive space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to heal, grow, and make meaningful changes.
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized training in trauma and relational modalities. We may be a good fit if you: • Value insight and depth. • Are curious about yourself and want to understand the "why". • Intuitively know that lasting change requires real work—and are ready for it.

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Pasadena starts with looking for identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may support concerns related to identity, relationships, family stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, experience with gender-diverse people, WPATH training, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Finding a therapist who fits your needs matters beyond credentials, and a detailed profile can help you understand how they approach care.
In a smaller city like Pasadena, the number of local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find someone licensed in Texas. You may also want to compare appointment availability, therapy approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each therapist’s profile can help you see whether they clearly work with LGBTQIA+ people and how they describe their communication style.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
