Ernesto C. López, Jr. NCC, LPC-S, CCTP, CTMH

I’m a bilingual Counselor, fluent in English and Spanish, licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, a member of the Texas Behavioral Executive Council. I’ve worked in the human services field for over 20-years serving children, adolescents, adults, and families. During counseling sessions, I promote an environment that is accepting, supportive, genuine and understanding; however, I also encouraging my clients to be equal partners in the professional helping process. Central to my work are the high regard I place on treating clients with dignity and respect, my core belief in people’s ability to overcome life's most pressing problems, and the capacity to achieve transformational change. My training as a counselor started in the rural Northwest where I provided home-based services to families with limited access to resources, many living in remote areas affected by harsh winter weather conditions. In 2006, I moved to Texas where I’ve been a credentialed Licensed Professional Counselor for the last 16 years. My experiences have taught me to appreciate the many barriers people wanting help face. Today I'm pleased to serve clients in-person at my office in North Houston and through my telehealth practice (online counseling). If you’d like to schedule an appointment with me, please feel free to call, email, or self-schedule an appointment on my website. I look forward to meeting you.
