Sense of Self Counseling

Sense of Self Counseling (SoS Counseling) believes in the importance of building confidence, resilience, and trust in yourself. It is so important to have a place in your life to debrief or unload stress from the week or recent life events, and at Sense of Self Counseling, we want to help you find that time for well-being.

Whether you are just at the beginning of your healing journey or well on your way toward happy and healthy, SoS Counseling is here to help.

Equity Statement

SOS Counseling is committed to building an equitable East Texas. We recognize the history of oppression that has resulted in generational and community trauma. We believe therapists who prioritize engaging diverse perspectives and evolve to be inclusive behave equitably and profoundly impact society. For this reason, SOS Counseling is committed to transforming each aspect of our practice by confronting our biases and operationalizing our values. We know that intention alone is not enough to make change happen. To this work, we bring the success and mistakes of our continuing efforts in the direction of equity for our clients and the community. Our mission and vision for creating a healing space and ending generational trauma move us to challenge ourselves directly and deconstruct frameworks of oppression while building opportunities for learning, change, and accountability. We know this work is urgent, and we will always be learning. We will make mistakes and own our responsibility for corrective action.
