About me

Welcome to Adams Counseling and Education Services, PLLC. As an LPC and LCDC with over 27 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy to individuals seeking support and guidance in their journey towards mental wellness.

Personal Background: I was born and raised in Texas and graduated from Dublin High School in Dublin, TX, in 1980. A few years later, I got married, and we relocated to his home state of Washington. We lived in Spokane for over 15 years. While in Spokane, I attended Gonzaga University, where I obtained two degrees: one in pre-law and one in Human Services. Upon completion, I went to Spokane Falls Community College and got my two-year certification in chemical dependency studies to specialize in treating chemically dependent patients. I spent many years working in methadone clinics and treatment facilities.

After returning to Texas 22 years ago, I went to Tarleton University and graduated with a master's degree in counseling and psychology. I became a licensed professional counselor and obtained my license as a chemical dependency counselor.

My oldest son still lives in Washington State. Through modern technology, his legal expertise and business acumen have tremendously helped me set up that part of my business. My middle son graduated from Dublin High School in 2004 and joined the Army shortly after. I have a third son who helps me a great deal at the office with computer tech stuff and office maintenance. My mother will be joining me soon to help me man the phones and assist with scheduling. This is truly a family-owned and operated business

Approach to Therapy: I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, gestalt family systems theory, and solution-focused brief therapy. I tailor my approach to meet each client's individual needs and goals.

Continued Education and Growth: I'm committed to ongoing professional development and stay informed about the latest research and advancements in the field of mental health. By continuously expanding my knowledge and skills, I strive to provide the highest quality of care to my clients.

Thank you for considering Adams Counseling and Education Services, PLLC, for your therapy needs. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy that empowers clients to overcome challenges and live their best lives.
