Priya Mathew (She/Their) MS, LPC 

Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas

Hi, my name is Priya. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed to work with clients in Texas. I have a M.S. in Counseling from the University of North Texas (2017), and a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Biology and Counseling from the University of North Texas (2010.)

I am passionate about working with clients with social anxiety, generalized anxiety, perfectionism and imposter syndrome. It is one of my greatest joys in this line of work to see my clients shed years of feeling restricted, and to discover the joy and freedom they possess--to move into owning their own personal power and creating the life that works for them. Even if right now you may not feel like you have that power in your life, I am here to help you realize that power, and to support you toward taking your next steps toward healing and growth.

In my life and in my practice, I hope to embody some of my favorite lyrics, "You have to be a human before you do some art" (Yun, Namjoon Kim.) I believe living life is an art, and participating in counseling is as well. Both take work, can be messy, and both can be a beautiful journey yielding beautiful results. As a person-centered therapist, I believe in showing up as a human being in this space with you. Person-centered counseling is a relational approach that emphasizes the importance of your voice in this process, and a collaborative, humanistic approach forward. I am here to not be someone to talk down to you, or tell you what to do, but to help you identify your strengths, the skills you have, and help you build the skill you would like to move forward in your journey. I incorporate mindfulness-based techniques, CBT techniques, polyvagal techniques, and expressive arts techniques, among others, to best support you. Together, let's turn your suffering into the beautiful masterpiece of your ultimate thriving.

In my free time, I am a constant learner and love learning about and engaging in the various avenues of human communication and expression, particularly through visual arts, music, literature and dance. I also enjoy learning the same in animals, and spend my time decoding my cat's various communications as she tries to get me to do what she wants!

I look forward to meeting you!

"Dream, may your trials end in full bloom." -Yoongi Min
