Gladys Amador, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Gladys!

As a bilingual clinical therapist, I help clients reduce the lasting impact of complex trauma using evidence-based therapies. I work with individuals to build resilience and empower healing while creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults who are ready to better understand their patterns, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change. I offer a space that’s warm, supportive, and grounded in real strategies for healing.

My approach

My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs. My practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thought patterns and Humanistic techniques to support personal growth. Solution-Focused Therapy to create actionable strategies, Strength-Based approaches to empower clients, and Trauma-Focused interventions to support healing.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, patient, and accommodating. I strive to create a judgment-free space where you can express your needs and concerns openly. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

Early in my career, I had the privilege of providing educational opportunities to first responders, educators, professionals, and families on the impact of trauma. Through these experiences, I encountered many incredible individuals, which deepened my sense of responsibility to create a safe, healing space for others.

My goals for you

We will work together to set your therapeutic goals, which can vary depending on your unique circumstances. By setting goals together, I can help ensure we're focused on achieving your desired well-being.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss any current challenges or stressors you may be facing. I'll ask questions to better understand your concerns, and together, we'll start to build a therapeutic connection. Everyone has a unique story, and I'm looking forward to learning more about yours.
