Getting to know Ava Weaver

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 24 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I hold a Master's degree in Community Counseling from Texas A&M University. Throughout my career, I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients. Among my areas of expertise are PTSD, Play Therapy, Couples, and Family Therapy. I have served in two regional MHMRs and in a psychiatric hospital setting (UTHealth Science Center Northeast), working with families, adults, and adolescents. Additionally, I have credentials as a teacher and taught special education for several years in public school districts. My approach I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist with additional specializations in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively identify and address personal life challenges. I strive to integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each patient. I received training in Cognitive Processing Therapy through the Department of State Health Services, and my name appears in the state online registry of certified CPT therapists. My focus With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. I enjoy a challenge, but ultimately, my focus is enriching the client's perspective to interpretations they have not previously considered. My philosophy is based on care and enrichment of the soul. My communication style Friendly and casual. I don't show up in a business suit or high heels. I am a laid-back country girl who is a professional, and most people are more comfortable with that. My journey to mental healthcare I became an educator first-I taught school, then became a school counselor when I realized my calling was to work with individuals as opposed to an overcrowded class full of kids.
