About Victoria (She/her)

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about working with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression and grief.  I strive to create a safe place for clients to feel heard, accepted, respected, validated and supported.  I love working with adolescents, teenagers and young adults and have a background as an educator and as a school-based therapist.  Before joining Magnolia Counseling of Pearland, I worked in a high school setting, providing crisis counseling, group therapy (anxiety,/depression, grief and yoga ) and trauma therapy utilizing evidence based interventions to meet each client’s unique needs.  I am trained in EMDR, ART (accelerated resolution therapy) and I am also a certified yoga teacher, RYT 200. My core approach is trauma informed and person centered.  Person centered emphasizes the client-therapist relationship and the client’s role in healing, change and growth, however I also use other modalities such a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) , mindfulness and solution focused therapy. I am committed to creating a therapeutic environment where my clients feel empowered to achieve their goals.

 

I was raised in El Paso, Texas and moved to Pearland with my family in 2020. I have been married for 33 years and have 3 daughters. I love spending time with my family and with our rescue dogs and cats. I am an avid cyclist and enjoy riding with my husband all over Pearland and the surrounding areas.

About Johanna (she/her)

I am a licensed professional counselor who believes that every client is unique and strives to create a working atmosphere of collaboration, problem-solving, and acceptance.  Before joining Magnolia Counseling of Pearland, I was working as a therapist at a behavioral hospital in the Houston area, specifically with children and adolescents.  As such, I have a strong handle on collaborative treatment with medication management and can appreciate the decision on whether or not to involve medication.  I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy to help those who come from a wide variety of backgrounds make the changes they need.
