Stacy Kador, LPC

I have 10 years of experience in the mental health field, along with more than 13 years of experience in education. I earned my Master of Arts degree from Adams State University and my Bachelor’s degree from Louisiana State University. My professional background as a former educator, middle school math teacher, and school counselor has given me extensive experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, stress, relationship difficulties, family concerns, and other mental health challenges. I have a particular passion for working with adolescents and families and helping them navigate difficult experiences while developing healthier ways to communicate, cope, and connect.

During the initial intake process, I focus on understanding each client’s needs, reasons for seeking therapy, goals, and expectations for counseling. I believe that getting to know the whole person is an important part of creating an effective therapeutic relationship.

I draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Psychoeducational Family Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Psychoanalytic approaches, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

My goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative space where clients can better understand themselves, work through challenges, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful progress toward the life and relationships they want

I have four years of experience supporting individuals and families across different settings, with specialized experience providing direct clinical services to Latino individuals, families, and groups. My work has allowed me to support people facing a wide range of emotional, relational, physical, and life-transition challenges.
I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. My areas of experience include anxiety, depression, panic disorders, OCD, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief and loss, stress management, identity concerns, women’s issues, maternal mental health, infertility, chronic health conditions, and end-of-life care.
I draw from a variety of evidence-based and integrative approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Therapy, Strength-Based approaches, Attachment-Based approaches, Behavioral interventions, and Behavior Modification.
I also have experience incorporating family-focused approaches, including Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST), when appropriate. I tailor the therapeutic process to each client’s unique circumstances, culture, strengths, values, and goals.
I am especially passionate about creating a supportive space for Latino individuals, families, and groups. I understand the importance of honoring each person’s individual story and the cultural, relational, and personal experiences that can shape their journey.
My goal is to walk alongside you without judgment, provide encouragement and practical tools, and help you develop the skills and confidence needed to navigate life’s challenges. I believe meaningful change is possible, and I am honored to support clients as they build resilience, find healing, and move toward the future they hope to create.
