Getting to know Gladys Amador

Hi there, I'm Gladys! My name is Gladys Amador, and I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in South Texas, with over 10 years of experience working in the field of trauma. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach My approach to therapy is tailored to each client's unique needs. I primarily use a person-centered, strengths-based approach, focusing on empowering you to build on your existing strengths. Additionally, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you explore how your thought patterns may influence your emotions and behaviors, offering guidance toward meaningful change in daily life. My focus I typically work with clients who have experienced childhood trauma and who are navigating daily stressors. Often these challenges are accompanied by anxiety and depression. My communication style My communication style is calm, patient, and accommodating. I strive to create a judgment-free space where you can express your needs and concerns openly. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout our work together. My journey to mental healthcare Early in my career, I had the privilege of providing educational opportunities to first responders, educators, professionals, and families on the impact of trauma. Through these experiences, I encountered many incredible individuals, which deepened my sense of responsibility to create a safe, healing space for others. My goals for you We will work together to set your therapeutic goals, which can vary depending on your unique circumstances. By setting goals together, I can help ensure we're focused on achieving your desired well-being. My first session with you In our first session, we'll discuss any current challenges or stressors you may be facing.
