HELPING YOU BECOME A BETTER YOU
Rosanne Juarez, M.Ed. LPC-S
Hello, I am pleased to introduce myself so you can know a little about me before we meet. I’m a native Houstonian married since 1984, mother of two daughters, and when I’m not working, I’m golfing. I’m a retired middle school counselor after 29 years of service. Since 2008 I have worked in private counseling helping teens and adults deal with and overcome life’s challenges. I am truly honored and blessed to have the opportunity to be invited in others’ lives and I try my best to help others to overcome and achieve true balance in their lives.
I have recently completed certification in Sport Psychology, my other passion. I am the oldest and only girl of four to a high school basketball coach. All my life I have been involved in sports, as a player, coach, and parent. I have always been intrigued on how some athletes are able to get in the zone, while others just as talented, are left short or are dissatisfied with their performance. Using psychological skills training I can help you achieve your goals to achieve your maximum performance. I can also work with parents and coaches to provide the best motivational climate that facilitates an effective performance setting.
I have been working in the field of psychology since 1997. I have a B.A. in Psychology earned from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. I received a M.A. in Educational and Clinical Counseling from the University of St. Thomas-Houston and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and certified LPC Supervisor, licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors. I have a certification in Sport Psychology from California Southern University.
My treatment approach is very active and engaged. It is generally a Cognitive-Behavioral approach, which incorporates a teaching model that helps clients with problem-solving strategies and effective coping skills for working through depression, fear, grief, anxieties, and many other life conflicts. Sessions emphasize the understanding and modification of patterns of thinking and behavior to enhance personal growth and insight as well as improving quality of life. I enjoy teaching effective communication with partners/spouses, children, parents, families, peers, and colleagues. I truly consider it an honor to be invited into a person’s life and to be able to join in their journey of growth in self and relationships.
