My name is Andrea Arjon and I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (License 73800) in the State of Texas. My goal as a therapist is to help you find meaning and healing through a deep exploration of what makes you YOU. I believe in holding a safe space that welcomes all parts of you and integrates the multiple identities and values you hold.

Dr. Waggoner has a passion for working with individuals and couples who struggle with trauma, crisis, suicidal ideation, self-harm, abuse (physical, emotional, mental, sexual, spiritual), and complex trauma. She also works with the grief, loss, depression, and anxiety that stems from these issues.

HOPE has been defined as grounds for believing that something good may happen. It is the want for something to happen or be the case, and to intend to do something. HOPE often needs help to have life, to take flight, and to posses courage. Clearhope Counseling intends to provide the support needed to discover and strengthen HOPE! Whether it is preparation for a new season of life, adapting to changes as you learn a new normal, dealing with a traumatic event, or learning strategies to obtain wellness, my desire is to humbly serve as your partner on this journey.

As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I consider it an honor to help you navigate the storms of life with an approach that builds confidence, trust and hope using time-proven techniques. My counsel is based on the combination of both my Christian faith and my psychodynamic understanding of how people heal and mature. My goal is to build with you a trustworthy, empathetic and clarifying relationship, and to rejoice with you in the healing process. With God’s good help, for over 33 years, I have walked alongside individuals seeking resolution to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.

There is a season in everyone's journey when you need an objective listener to affirm your strengths and identify any self-defeating patterns preventing you from being your best self. Over the past 20 years, I have valued collaborating with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, women's issues, career struggles, spirituality, overcoming abuse, healing relationships, coping with chronic/acute medical conditions, preparing/coping for retirement, care-giving, and terminal illness. Grieving is a natural response to any significant loss. I see adults 23 yrs and up. No children, teens, or couples.

Asking for help can be scary, and it’s my job to help guide and encourage you to take the steps necessary for change in your life….at your own pace based on your own needs. Trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and even grief can take root in our everyday lives without us even knowing it. They can manifest and effect our well being in negative ways. Once we realize they are there, it takes a lot of courage to seek change. I am very passionate about guiding individuals from ages 12 and beyond through transitions of life that may encompass dealing with these issues and more.

That painful event keeps replaying over and over in your head. You can’t stop seeing the images of it. Thoughts of what you could have done differently play on repeat. They force their way into your mind, leaving you overwhelmed, panicked, and burnt out. The triggers are everywhere and anxiety and depression feel like they’re constantly looming over you. If you could just let it go maybe you could move on with your life. You no longer want to carry the weight of what happened but to enjoy the things you once loved.

There are many people struggling with the difficult issues of trauma-related issues, difficult or confusing mental health diagnoses, and/or differing types of addiction. My goal and focus is to help those who have a hard time finding lasting help in their struggles. Living a restored, manageable and fulfilling life is possible through skilled professional counseling. I have seen tremendous growth in these areas and would like to more people experience the freedom others have gained.

We all face challenges in our lives. None of us are perfect parents, perfect children or perfect spouses. It is okay to seek out help and perspective from another person, especially a professional. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2001. I have worked with children, adolescents and families since being an intern in 1999. I love helping people get through challenges and helping them get to the next level of their lives.

I am a LPC-Associate under supervision of Noel C Gonzalez, PhD, LPC-S. My focus is in working with clients who are experiencing trauma from the many challenges we each face. Areas of specialty include accidents, cancer, and HIV; however, these are not the only areas of trauma that I can help with. I also work with clients with anxiety and depression, including general anxiety disorder, PTSD, and major depressive disorder (episodic or chronic), as well as men's issues and LGBTQIA+ issues.

“Your mental health is everything — prioritize it. Make the time like your life depends on it because it does.” — Mel Robbins. I believe that I didn't choose to be a mental health professional, the profession chose me. I remember helping my friends in High school with their traumas and life transition issues. The ability to connect and make people feel comfortable talking to me about their personal stories took me on this professional path. What I love the most about being a mental health professional is having the opportunity and privilege of being a part of people’s journeys.

Clearhope exists to remove access barriers to high-quality mental health services. If it is bothering you, we want to help. We deliver trauma-informed, client-centered services to help you friend the strength and hope for healing and wellness.
