Getting to know Omar Sandoval
My name is Omar Sandoval, and I could have been a statistic. The persistent financial, social, and inter- and intrapersonal adversity I experienced growing up in a low socioeconomic status single-parent home could have defined me-were it not for hope, discipline, education, luck, and my hobbies. Instead, I am a Mexican-American, English/Spanish-speaking Licensed Professional Counselor practicing since 2017. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley. I was inspired to work in this field because of the many hardships I faced growing up. Though difficult to overcome, such significant obstacles ignited my curiosity about understanding the human condition and improving it when and where possible-a lifelong pursuit that still guides me personally and professionally.
Me llamo Omar Sandoval y soy un consejero acreditado bilingüe ejerciendo desde 2017, de descendencia mexicana. Porque me crié pobre, desde joven aprendí la importancia del aprendizaje, luchando y chambeando, y la sinceridad interna y externamente. También aprendí que la vida no es nada fácil y, para sobrevivir y sobresalir, hay que hacerse duro y valiente. Solo fue así que aprendí a no temerle a los problemas ni a las crisis, ya que en esta vida hay muchos, y también aprendí cómo comunicar esta capacidad para superar los obstáculos interna y externamente en mi vida personal y en mi profesión.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

My visit was unsatisfactory for the following reasons:
1) I was charged for a missed appointment (that he made for me without my agreement) despite having made an appointment for myself the prior day (which he canceled because he overbooked). I hoped on the televisit for the appointment that he made for me while I was at work, and he was pleasant enough. Later, I explained the situation via email so as not to be email to which he alluded to me lying about the situation.
2) He provided no therapy in the two sessions that I attended. I have had good therapists, and I am still searching for one here in Texas. I received no such tools despite giving examples and expectations of these sessions.

Omar has really solid questions and feedback. In my short time working with him I've already seen some improvements in my overall quality of life. I'm thankful to be working with him and highly recommend him to those struggling with past traumatic life events.

I felt seen and listened to. Omar was very approachable and easy to connect with, which I feel is something that is very important in a mental health provider. He was personable and professional and took great care to provide a safe environment for open dialogue. Would highly recommend!

Too many great things to say about Omar. Talking to him was easy. I usually stutter and don’t get everything across. I was really nervous to the point that I wanted to ditch the appointment but following through was the best choice I’ve made in so long. I’m not sure what it was but he made me feel comfortable and safe to speak.
