Adriana Contreras LPC

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have over 10 years of experience working with clients individually to help them achieve their counseling goals. I believe that my roles is to guide you in your journey. I want to help you build self-confidence and resilience. Together, we will work on accomplishing your goals and developing skills that you can use in life beyond your time in therapy.

I have a Masters of Education in Counseling from the University of Houston and a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from the University of Houston-Downtown. In my experience as a counselor, I have had the opportunity to work with various age groups and environments including school, non-profit organizations and outpatient hospital and clinic settings. In the last ten years, I have worked primarily with adults with diverse life stressors and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and trauma.

My therapeutic approach depends on the individual I work with as we all have our unique experiences, challenges, and strengths. I bring in evidenced based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness. I am also certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD.
