Sammie
I
have been working in the mental health industry
since 1990. I have been employed by both inpatient and
outpatient psychiatric and mental health facilities
before and after receiving my LPC license (see resume). I
graduated from the Clinical Psychology program at
the University of Houston-Clear Lake and am licensed
by the state of Texas as a Licensed Professional
Counselor. I have been in private practice
since 2002 and own Houston Psychotherapists, Inc. I
am a LPC Supervisor and a member in good standing
with the Texas Counseling Association and the
Houston Counseling Association.
I
specialize in adolescent issues and development, and
self-injury. I am passionate about educating the
community regarding self-harm and other important
mental health concerns. Click here for more information about workshops I have developed and presented.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families in all stages of life. Areas addressed may include depression, anxiety, effective communication, and increasing overall life satisfaction. I believe the relationship between the therapist and the patient is the most important factor in obtaining a successful therapeutic outcome and improving mental health. Providing a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental environment is a key component of effective therapy. I employ a variety of methods and techniques that can be utilized based on the treatment goals, values, personality, and needs of each individual. I value and hope to empower every individual to make a positive impact in both our immediate environment and our collective world. I am a careful and confidential listener and understand that every person is a unique individual with common problems deserving of dignity, compassion and respect. My goal is to help people create harmony and balance in their lives resulting in greater happiness. In addition to my private practice I offer pro bono services through the Mental Health Alliance of America.

Caroline Z. Marcos, MA, LPC Intern

I am a Christian counselor specializing in Art Therapy and a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern in the state of Texas and I am certified through the Prepare/Enrich program for pre-marital counseling.
I completed a Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis in Art Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont California in August 2005. My past employment experiences included working with foster children and community children and their families and with adolescents who have behavior and emotional disorders.
I approach counseling from a biblical, collaborative and person-centered perspective, utilizing techniques from the cognitive-behavioral approach and expressive art therapy. The cognitive behavioral approach focuses on thoughts and behaviors, and sees emotions as the result or consequences of our thoughts. Art therapy is an approach that utilizes drawing, painting and collage work for the purpose of expressing oneself when words fail. Art experience is not necessary and the process is facilitated by me.
I'm especially interested in helping clients find healing/transformations, increase their intimacy with God and others, and enhance their joy in living as well as reaching their God-given potentials. While I see children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples, I am especially interested in women's issues such as, identity, self confidence, depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. |

The mind has a great ability to heal itself, as well as an amazing capacity to do so. Sharing painful experiences with a therapist can validate the hurts, abuses and tragedies we may have experienced. The decision to seek professional help is often the hardest thing to do, but the most important first step in seeking balance in our lives. My multifaceted experience working with children and adults has provided me with a wealth of knowledge to help you diminish the daily stressors of life. I utilize a non-judgmental, empathetic and respectful approach to therapy in order to develop a trusting and caring rapport with my patients.
I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from Arizona State University, and gained status as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker after two years of direct clinical therapy hours. This involved working with individuals, adolescents, families in distress, and providing group therapy to children. I worked in a variety of settings including group homes, schools, private and community based programs, as well as inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities.
My ten years working in the mental health field, six years of which were direct therapy at private and community mental health facilities, have given me exposure to numerous environmental, social and emotional factors which can cause stress, fear, anxiety and depression, as well as the effects of trauma. My experiences with an eclectic approach to therapy utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing have been very effective in the healing process of my patients and will be effective for you, too.
