Sandra Williams, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor (832) 717-7166 |
Serving Clients In Spring
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Adams State University and my Master’s from the University Of Louisiana. I have experience working with all ages, and with a wide variety of human experiences. I enjoy helping clients find meaning, strength, and growth after surviving difficult, painful and traumatic experiences. Therapy, from my perspective, is a collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client.
I use an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused methods to help you achieve more balance in your life. I foster a collaborative, open, and empathic environment that draws upon your strengths to encourage and inspire you to develop to your full potential. I specialize in communication, mood and anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting, family and relationship problems, stress management, addiction and adolescent behavior issues. I am a trauma-informed therapist with 10 years treating symptoms of PTSD. |

Serving Clients In Spring - Speaks English & Spanish
Our lives are so hectic and fast paced...it can become overwhelming at times. It’s important to know that you are not alone and that everyone experiences life stressors to varying degrees. Please know that help is available. It would be a privilege to join you on your journey to discovery and re-birth. My job is not to give you advice or tell you what to do. Rather, you and I will work together, in collaboration to address life issues and personal goals. The focus will be on change and we will utilize your strengths and resiliency skills to overcome and resolve presenting issues. We will explore your options and choose which option best suits your needs.
I received my Master’s Degree in counseling from Marymount University in Va. In 1996. Prior to that I was in the navy for six years. In 2010 I relocated to Texas with my husband and returned to college to take the required courses to meet LPC requirements in the state of Texas (2013-2015). I began my counseling career while I was still in the navy and became the department career counselor. I served in the navy from 1987 to 1994. That is when I realized my passion of working with people. From 1994 to 2009, I worked in various counseling settings, with a predominant focus on substance abuse. I am of Puerto Rican descent and am bi cultural / bilingual. I enjoy working with a wide array of populations: teenagers, youth, women, men, families, veterans and couples. I enjoy providing support with issues such as suicidal and/or homicidal ideations, bipolar, depression, anxiety, stress, anger issues and acculturation issues. I have also had the opportunity to work with DACA families conducting forensic evaluations in order to help them achieve legal status. When I’m not working, my husband and I love to travel, explore different countries, and learn about different cultures. I love to read, garden, go to movies, and try different restaurants. We have two adult sons, one grandson, and one very spoiled dog named Sosa. My life motto is “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” Work on those things in your life that you can change, let the rest go. Stay present in your life...enjoy your life in the moment. If you are too busy striving, you will miss some very special moments. Call 832-717-7166 today to schedule you first appointment with Diana. |

Hello, I am Cathy Birden, M.Ed, LPC and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I also graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Master’s degree in Counseling.
I believe therapy is a way for you to get extra help when you need it. If you are struggling with a personal crisis, overwhelming emotion, a life transition, problems with friends or family members, or the need to move on from past events, counseling can help. A counseling relationship is unique. You are the professional concerning your life and I respect that through the therapeutic process. I am able to help guide you through the self-exploration necessary to discover new thoughts and feelings for the purpose of healing. Counseling is a way to take complex problems and break them down into workable parts. This can make it safer and easier to achieve the changes you want. Outside of private practice, I have also worked as a Licensed Professional School Counselor in Klein ISD. I am a professional member of the Texas Counseling Association and a certified member of the National Board of Certified Counselors. I will continue to educate myself by attending national and local conferences, and keeping up with current therapy research. When I am not working with clients I enjoy traveling, reading and spending time with my family. |
