Randy Cotton has over 30 years experience providing mental health care to children, adolescents and adults in several mental health settings.
Life is stressful. It becomes even more so when trying to cope with a history of childhood mistreatment or abuse, failed relationships, parenting stresses, anxiety or disrupted mood. Struggling with these issues can also make us feel isolated and alone. Reaching out for help can be the most courageous and healthiest thing we do. Don’t continue to struggle with these issues alone.

I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families with finding best practices tailored to their individual and group needs in an effort to improve quality of life.
As we move throughout our lives, there are instances in which we find ourselves experiencing feelings that can be hard to describe, let alone understand. Mood changes, life transitions, trauma, loss and self esteem issues are just a few of the elements we encounter in our quest to have a fulfilling life. Learning how to optimistically cope with or eliminate these feelings altogether is a daunting task but with the right effort and determination, the goal is attainable.

I have worked with adults at every stage of life, from those entering college to those in retirement.
We all need to be seen and heard without judgment, but it can be intimidating to let others in. I want to help you express your entire self in counseling—your emotions, experiences, thoughts, and hopes. Whether you’re navigating transitions and relationships, working towards healing from past experiences, or coping with stress, worry, and anxiety, I want to support you.

As we go through life, things can get complicated. It may cause you to feel anxious, depressed, or simply overwhelmed. Sometimes, you may not even be aware of exactly what you are feeling. Allow me the opportunity to help you process these life events and listen to your unique story. My goal is to give you a safe place to heal and untangle the mess life sometimes creates. As your therapist, I want you to leave each session feeling hopeful about the next day and excited for what the future will bring.

I find great personal reward in helping adults/children dealing with anxiety disorders such as obsessive/compulsive and adjustment disorders, as well as grief, trauma, and PTSD.
Our counseling philosophy is based on solution focused theory whereby we help individuals and families identify stressors which may lead to anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues and guide development of coping skills to problem solve. We find that learning to communicate with others in an assertive, non-aggressive manner facilitates creating a foundation for loving, supportive relationships. Although most sessions focus on a narrative, conversational approach, we often incorporate art therapy/play therapy in working with clients of all ages. Our clients are self-motivated individuals/families committed to improving their lives.

As a clinician I have worked with adults and children experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and substance abuse.
Life is full of challenges and sometimes it may feel like those challenges are just too much. Many of us struggle to maintain a balance with the many different aspects of our lives. We juggle work life, home life, parenthood, finances, personal issues, etc. Then, somehow we're supposed to fit in self-care. Does the lack of balance cause you to experience days where you're too anxious to rest, too exhausted to get out of bed, or both at the same time? Are you struggling to find solutions to all the issues mentioned above? Let's work together to get you grounded and find your balance!

I trained at the Menninger Clinic in Houston, where I completed a two-year fellowship and also worked as a staff member with adolescents, young adults, and adults.
Navigating transition and uncertainty alone can be daunting and generate fears that keep us stuck. We can feel trapped in our heads, and whether change is something we are actively pursuing or is a condition we feel is forced upon us, it can be difficult to find a way out, especially all on our own! Therapy can be a place to unburden ourselves and share our minds with someone who can provide an outside perspective and help us move forward with purpose. It can also be especially helpful for people who struggle with vulnerability and shame and provide a safe space to express and process emotions and struggles.

If you struggle with anxiety or OCD, therapy can provide you with strategies and perspectives that help you find relief and peace of mind. While we all have to tolerate some anxiety, you don’t have to accept being miserable or consumed by worry. I have specialized training and experience in helping clients understand and overcome anxiety. This experience allows me to tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and help them experience real symptom reduction. You don’t need a one-size-fits-all approach; you need someone who can help make sense of your unique struggles based on your story and develop an individualized plan.
