My approach to counseling closely mirrors my view of life: there is no one-size-fits-all answer. I use a multifaceted approach to counseling, pulling from the core theoretical approaches of CBT, Person-Centered, and DBT. I believe that as humans, we were created for connection with others. We all experience unexpected circumstances that make life challenging, and attempting to balance life's challenges on our own can be confusing and frustrating. I focus on helping my clients discover their self-worth and core values in order to help them build a life they are proud of.

We all have aspects of our personalities that have been repressed, ignored, or unrealized, and this can cause painful psychological distress. When these aspects are brought to the surface in a safe, caring therapeutic environment, they can be addressed and integrated, resulting in a more fully realized human. This is what I do.

I have always been interested in the effects of trauma on one's life. Trauma has many effects that most don't consider. I have learned how to assist people in creating a loved life in spite of any trauma they have experienced.

Human connection is the number one protective factor in mental health and in our increasingly virtual lives, this can be very difficult. Disconnection is leading us into unprecedented levels of Depression, Anxiety, and Addiction. Are you looking for connection and greater contentment in your life?

Take the time to prioritize your wellness by seeking support. If you are ready to gain deeper self-understanding and build a life that you love, I am here to help.

Limited session times available. If you feel like life is overwhelming and you don't know how to cope, it's okay to ask for help. It could be that school, work, family life, parenting (or doing all of them at the same time) are creating immense stressors. Or maybe events from your past are making it difficult to do what matters to you. Know that you are not alone and you don't have to walk through this by yourself.

I have a strong belief in each person's ability to "heal" and help themselves with the assistance and empowerment of counseling. I provide a safe, professional, and understanding environment for you to explore your situation and make the necessary changes to improve your quality of life. I have an eclectic style with the majority of my training being in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This style allows me the flexibility of approaching each person in the way that fits them best. I love seeing the improvement clients can make, especially using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of a client's well-being in therapy. It is my goal to build this relationship and empower my clients to live a fulfilled life. I help clients grow and change through a client-centered approach. However, I use a variety of techniques to guide and support clients through life's challenges.

My name is Valeria Morado. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have 5 years of experience providing mental health services to various populations, including youth and adults with anxiety, depression, substance use, and family conflict. I utilize a mix of Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Supportive therapies during treatments with my clients. I believe I am empathetic and client-centered, which significantly helps my clients in their journey to wellness.

Dealing with addiction can be very difficult and overwhelming to deal with alone. Addiction doesn't look the same for everyone but anyone can overcome addiction. Drug abuse and addiction problems can be devastating, not only to the individual but to the family as well. Knowing that you are not alone is the first step to ease your mind. Everyone with an addiction problem has their own story that should be individualized not judged but heard. Identifying the biological, environmental, behavioral, and social causes and consequences of drug use and addiction is just some of the steps that we will face together.

My ideal client is someone who, not only is experiencing depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, marital issues, and behavioral concerns, but also is willing to discover the reasons behind such issues, who is motivated to learn healthy patterns of functioning, and to improve overall outlook on life.

If you’re in chronic pain (emotional or physical), feel left out of life or find yourself doubting your value or ability, I could be a good fit :) Some bodies & minds have a nervous system that continuously sends danger signals.

I'm here to help desensitize & reprogram the internal vibes & thoughts decreasing your quality of life - to pass along eclectic, simple & warm yet evidenced-based strategies to nurture & restore your mind, body & heart.

I do not accept insurance at this time. From birth to adulthood our experiences can affect how we show up in the world. Those experiences can affect our behavior, thinking, and mood, leaving us in an emotionally unhealthy place. I will partner with you, meet you where you are, and provide a safe and supportive space as you find your way and begin to live the life you desire. My goal is to empower you to develop the skills to overcome personal challenges.
