Getting to know Tanya Nixon

I am Tanya Nixon, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas with a Master of Arts in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University. I bring more than 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, families, students with disabilities, and professionals across counseling, education, vocational rehabilitation, and child welfare settings. My experience includes trauma-informed counseling, behavioral interventions, career and independent-living support, special education services, foster care, adoption, treatment programs, and family-stability initiatives. I have worked with students from prekindergarten through high school, including individuals with complex disabilities and diverse academic, emotional, and behavioral needs. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and focused on practical goals. I work with clients and families to identify challenges, build coping and problem-solving skills, strengthen stability, and develop strategies that support personal, educational, and vocational growth. When appropriate, I collaborate with caregivers, educators, community programs, and other professionals to provide coordinated support. I strive to create a respectful and encouraging environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help each person recognize their strengths, navigate challenges, and make meaningful progress toward greater well-being and independence.
