Diana Rosario, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor (832) 717-7166 |
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. |

Serving Clients In Spring
Suzanne is an experienced counselor who has worked with all ages and types of people from all walks of life. She is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with the State of Texas and am also a nationally certified counselor (NBCC). A lifelong student of the human personality, she presented her original research on behavioral inhibition at Oxford University. Her work was published in Oxford's professional journal, THE FORUM. As a therapist, she has studied many ideas about how people grow and change. She uses all these ideas as invaluable "tools" for her craft.
Her basic premise is that people are smart about their own needs and wants. However, they have dilemmas and issues that may befuddle them temporarily. She uses as her basic underpinning a client-centered approach that respects the will and desires of the client. She believes that as we we grow up, we sometimes lose that "inner voice" or wisdom of the unconscious mind. Hence she also uses hypnosis and other "uncovering" and discovering tools. Call today to schedule an appointment with Suzanne. |
Cathy Birden, M.Ed, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor (832) 717-7166 |
Serving Clients In Spring & Katy
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. |
