Enrique Otero

Greetings! My name is Enrique and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. For the first eight years of my professional career, I worked as a counselor and then taught psychology for the next twenty years. I have recently returned to my original career and passion. For almost three decades, I have devoted myself to better understanding human emotions, thought patterns and personal narratives, and how these correlate to our overall well-being. Although my work with you as my client would be individually and uniquely tailored to meet your specific needs and personality, my approach to counseling sessions is greatly influenced by Person-Centered Therapy, which is a type of humanistic therapy, created by Carl Rogers. As your therapist, through a genuine and empathetic relationship, I strive to create a trusting space in which you can explore and understand yourself with more depth and clarity. As a humanist, I believe that we already possess within ourselves the drive and resources to progress and grow in our lives, with more peace and acceptance. Therapy assists in identifying the blocks and hinderances to this progress. I also utilize various ideas and methods borrowed from other respected approaches to psychological well-being, including Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology, Positive Psychology, and mindfulness practice. Additionally, if you are interested in further exploring your own spirituality, I can assist with this purpose, regardless of your faith or belief systems. Thank you for reading this brief description. Please feel free to reach out if you have any doubts or questions. Take care, know yourself and be well!
