Avery Wageman, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Avery!

If you are looking for a therapist who understands your life experience and provides assistance in achieving your goals, then I'm your therapist. I use a combination of humor, reality therapy, and solution-focused therapy to help you reach your goals and full potential.

My focus

My ideal client is a person who realizes that they need and want help, but struggles to identify the tools and resources that they need for improvement.

My approach

I believe in being direct, honest, and up front with clients when addressing concerns. All clients deserve to have a therapist who understands, but also challenges them when working towards their goals.

My communication style

I have a very direct and blunt communication style, but I do believe in being gentle when the situation calls for it.

My journey to mental healthcare

I made the decision to become a therapist at age 7. I would devour anything that had to do with the human mind and social behaviors. I earned my Master's during the pandemic and am planning on earning my PhD within the next few years.

My goals for you

I help my clients reach their goals through a scaffolding approach. We were bottom-up, identifying issues that are preventing clients from reaching their goals, using tools and resources, and working on any obstacles that may prevent further growth.

Our first session

In the first session, we always review the rules of therapy (confidentiality, how to request a release of information, how to reschedule, emergency/crisis sessions), and then we conduct our intake session, which allows me to get the best idea of the help my client needs.
