In my practice, adult counseling for depression emerges as one of the most common concerns. Statistics from the National Institute for Mental Health reveal that approximately 1 in 10 Americans will grapple with depression in their lifetime. Alongside addressing depression, I work with adult clients dealing with an assortment of challenges, such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, men’s issues, cultural identity dilemmas, work-life balance struggles, and anger management.
Our primary therapeutic modality revolves around employing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. CBT is a powerful tool that focuses on reshaping thought patterns to transform emotional experiences and subsequently, one’s life. While CBT serves as our main approach, I also integrate strategies derived from Positive Psychology and Mindfulness-Based Therapy.
Our practice is dedicated to providing exceptional services to clients spanning across Texas and Florida, supporting individuals on their journey towards improved mental health and well-being.

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, or MBCT, is designed for people who suffer from repeated bouts of depression or chronic unhappiness. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness. Recent research has shown that people who have been clinically depressed three or more times in their life find that learning mindfulness-based skills help to considerably reduce their chances of depression returning.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior. CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.
