About

Welcome. Taking the initial steps and seeking out counseling or continuing your counseling journey is a brave and empowering experience. You are capable of change and achieving the goals you have set for yourself.

Hi, my name is Dr. Tina Caro, or “Dr. C”. I have over 15 years of experience in the field of counseling and have helped many clients achieve their goals they have set in counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in the state of Texas and hold the Nationally Certification (NCC). I am highly educated having a doctorate degree, EdD, in Counseling Psychology and an MA in Counseling. I have over 15 years of experience working in counseling as a private practitioner, teaching at the graduate level in Counselor Education at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin and working with licensed counselors needing additional supervision. My counseling experiences encompasses working with children, adolescents and adults in Trauma Counseling, PTSD, Conflict Resolution, Couples Counseling, LGBTQI+, Family Counseling, Grief Counseling, Parent Support, Stress Management, Depression, Anxiety and Adoption/Post Adoption related mental health issues.

I am versed in multiple counseling theories and techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Adlerian, Solution-Focused, EMDR and Trauma Informed Therapy. Over the past 15 years, I have helped many clients achieve their counseling goals. Building a therapeutic connection with each client focusing on respect and trust ensures clients feel heard and understood during counseling sessions. If you are ready to start or continue your counseling journey, I am ready to help you feel empowered.
