To be a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)  in the state of Texas, you must do the following:

• Complete a master level degree taking a minimum of 3 years of master level coursework studying psychological theory, current research, and therapeutic interventions for a variety of presenting problems.
• During the schooling a counselor will complete a practicum, which in the state of Texas is a minimum of 300 hours heavily supervised by a counseling supervisor and professors. A practicum is when a counseling student begins to work directly with actual clients.
• Post-graduation a counselor will complete state board examinations.
• Once boards are passed the counselor will complete a 3,000 hour heavily supervised internship by a licensed counseling supervisor.
• Once they have completed this process they receive an LPC license.
• LPC’s are governed by The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council.

I am a follower of Jesus, that is a deeply held faith.  I am trained in counseling psychology. Although I can easily counsel without incorporating a Biblical worldview and frequently do, I believe in the truth of a Biblical worldview and that is the lens I use as I evaluate counseling theories and techniques. I love theology and studying the Bible. This enables me to easily to incorporate scripture into counseling for my clients who desire that. It naturally flows out of who I am.

Absolutely not. I have worked well with people of various belief systems. I do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation. If significant differences, such as culture or belief systems, exist between us, I will work to understand those differences. I was trained from a Christian Worldview approach meaning I can counsel from a secular, Christian, or integrated approach. On the new client paperwork you will check if you want Christian counseling, prayer, etc. as part of your therapeutic process. If you check “no” there is no judgement made and no questions asked. I have many Christian clients who check “no” as well for personal reasons.

Be ready! I think this is the biggest factor. Counseling will allow you to see yourself, others, and life differently. It will bring up painful things that need healing and challenge you to grow and change your thinking. Being ready and open is the best preparation. Find a counselor you connect with. Counseling is based on relationship so who you chose matters. Take time to interview and speak with different counselors to find the right counselor for you.
