Cathy Armstrong , MS, LPC-S, RN, NBCCH-F, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor

I chose both secular counseling and non-secular spiritual studies to provide care that honors the whole person. My non clinical doctorate focused on spirituality beyond traditional religion, which allows me to work respectfully with people of all paths and beliefs. This blend of evidence-based counseling and soul-centered insight creates space for healing from grief, abuse, anxiety, relationship struggles, and health concerns. I also offer licensed Texas LPC supervision for counseling associates seeking professional guidance.
