Hope Otto, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Hope!

Through experiences we learn, grow, and develop. Sometimes we need help sorting through feelings and emotions to reach our full potential. Past or current trauma can be a huge obstacle to setting and keeping goals. I specialize in helping adults and children work through trauma by teaching skills needed to successfully move forward.

My focus

I specialize in working with school-age children, victims of crimes, first responders, and anyone dealing with past or current trauma. You must feel safe and nurtured in order to focus on everyday tasks and achieve your goals.

My approach

I use a solution-focused approach where we set goals together and discuss ways to achieve them by practicing self-care and using tools we develop throughout our sessions. It's important that you feel safe and nurtured in order to focus on everyday tasks and share your thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams.

My communication style

I create a safe space where you can share openly and work toward meaningful change. We will set goals for you and discuss ways to achieve them by practicing self-care and using tools that are developed throughout our sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was a teacher and school counselor before devoting all my time to helping others through counseling. I've helped victims of crimes, first responders, and anyone facing trauma. I enable them to control their future by creating a new focus and setting healthy boundaries.

My goals for you

In order to achieve your goals, we'll try to answer the why of what could be holding you back. Once we know the why, then we can work on changing the behavioral obstacles to establish successful accomplishments.

Our first session

In our first session, we will discuss my approach, what you would like to get out of therapy, and what you believe the obstacles to achieving them might be. I look forward to helping you or your child to a better future.
