Elizabeth Barrera-Sepulveda

Welcome. My name is Elizabeth, and I am here to offer support and active listening and to help you feel better so that you can get to where you want to be to find some peace in your life. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have been a licensed counselor for close to 15 years. I worked as a master counselor for 10 years prior to being licensed. I have a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas in Austin and my Master of Science degree in Counseling from Texas A & M University in Corpus Christi. I have done a lot of work to support persons who have experienced trauma in their life. I have worked with both women and men who have been victim/survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I have worked with trauma victims/survivors of other crimes as well. In addition, I have experience working in psychiatric/behavioral health settings to offer support to persons who have mental health challenges, such as depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. In behavioral health settings, I have also worked with persons who struggle with substance abuse issues. My experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings gave me the opportunity to facilitate groups for individuals who are seeking help and need to know they are not alone in their struggle. In addition, I have worked with individuals and couples with general life stressors and life changes, who simply need some help and support to be better humans. I have been a crisis counselor working in shelter for those who survive sexual assault and domestic violence and seek a safe place to be. In addition, I have worked with geriatric clients, who are adjusting to this time in their life when they want to reflect and process the challenges they experience as older adults in the world. I am a person who keeps in mind that everyone comes from different places in the world, different belief systems, and different ways of being. Because of this, I will do my best to keep in mind that we all are of different ethnicity, different sexuality, and different cultures. My therapeutic style involves helping you find the tools and the best strategies to use to get your goals met. I do so in a client-centered, solution focused, and cognitive behavioral approach, meeting you—the client—wherever you are in your life.
