Hello - My name is Marla Anderson, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from Northeast Texas. I started my counseling career as a school counselor more than 15 years ago. I began to make the change to an LPC in 2018, working both sides (school counseling and private practice). I fully made the crossover in June of 2021. During that time until the present, I have had the privilege to work with people from ages 3 to 73. I have experience in helping my clients work through stress and anxiety, addiction issues, depression, and anger management as well as motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating all my clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and working together to come up with the best treatment plan to meet unique and specific needs. I use techniques from CBT and DBT as well as other counseling theories. I am also trained in EMDR and I am excited about being able to offer this life altering therapy approach in my practice. Making the choice to reach out for help is a big step, and the first step is always the hardest. Congratulations on taking that first step towards a healthier you. I look forward to our journey.

I've also had the opportunity to work with clients seeking to improve their stress management, motivation, and emotional regulation. My style blends cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and client-centered therapies in a culturally sensitive and supportive relationship.

Thank you for taking the time to explore mental health as a means to improve your quality of life. I am aware that seeking counseling is a major sacrifice, yet it changes the trajectory of your life. My name is Dr. Sandra Webster-Brown. I identify as an African American female, she, her, hers. I am a licensed professional counselor in both the state of Texas and Colorado. A few of the populations I have worked with but not limited to practice include: Addictions, relationship issues, LGBTQIA, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I received a PhD from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, TX. My clinical training has been in trauma related issues with children, adolescents and adults. The approach I use to counseling is empathetic and interactive. I believe each client is expert in their situation. As counselor, my role is to guide you to a lifestyle that embodies a sense of stability, peace, and feeling of progression. Together we work toward managing and removing the barriers that prevent reaching life's meaning and purposeful goals. I will frequently inquire from you an evaluation, if my approach feels comfortable for you since counseling is a place to stimulate empowerment and growth. Because counseling is a safe environment to communicate what's on your mind in a non-judgmental environment, I want to make sure you have the space to explore the deep recesses of your heart, at your pace, in your time. When you are ready to speak or just be, I am available to support you. I am here for you.

I believe that life is a journey and helping others create their journey is a wonderful gift. The gift to counsel is not given to everyone; yet I have been blessed and chosen to do so. I have been counseling all of my life; however officially I have been in counseling since earning my MA in 1991. I believe that we at times need assistance with the trials and tribulations in life. I'm here to help navigate those rough times as you through the high water, the raging rivers and the fires of life.

I have worked as a counselor in varying roles since 1996 and am a Nationally Certified Counselor (#80195) and hold dual- licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-#92763) and LMFT (#205418) in Texas, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC- #11935), and a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT- #3260) in Florida. I am also a CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a Certified Addiction Counselor (CACIII- #7171), and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS). These are national and state licensing agencies that recognize counselors who have distinguished themselves through meeting the board's standards for education, knowledge, and experience. I have an earned PhD in Counselor Education & Supervision, a Master's of Divinity degree (MDiv), and a Master's of Science degree (MS) in Counseling from universities that are accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). I have pursued additional training in the area of trauma, addiction, and couple's therapy. I provide services to individuals who are motivated to make positive change and desire a greater quality of life, while wishing to enhance their growth through self-discovery and other related techniques designed to enhance and nurture relationship skills for more successful living. I provide spiritually-attuned therapy services when a client is open to this perspective and may utilize prayer as an effective means if a client is comfortable with this or requests it. My counseling expertise is in working with adults and includes issues dealing with career, family, relationships, trauma, grief, and addiction. During the course of therapy, I will draw on various psychological approaches according to the issue being treated, your unique situation, and what will best benefit you. These approaches include but are not limited to, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, existential, system/family, developmental (adult, child, family), humanistic, and/or psycho-educational. *If you are interested in scheduling an appointment please check my schedule or let me know and I will let you know my availability.
