Paul has helped me in many ways that I couldn't have imagined. His small step by step approach to all my problems and struggles. I sense that I'm feeling better, able to think clear and make life choices for myself where I feel good. I do not feel this heavy weight on my shoulders that I felt in the beginning when I first met him. I was apprehensive in the beginning about seeking therapy: I'm glad I did.

Hello and Welcome,
Struggling with thoughts and emotions? My name is Paul Hernandez and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a board-approved LPC-Supervisor in the state of Texas. On a national level, I am board certified in Professional Counseling by the American Psychotherapy Association. For the past 28 years, I have provided mental health counseling, group counseling, aggression control counseling, drug and addiction counseling, and career counseling. I am also a Certified Anger Resolution Therapist focused on helping clients overcome aggression control issues.
As a college administrator, I have supervised departments related to counseling and mental health services for the past 24 years. Personally, I have provided mental health and career counseling to a variety of students and their families at my institution.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and aggression/addiction techniques. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. As a therapist, it is important for me to help my clients reach their goals and full potential.
I look forward to being a part of your therapeutic journey!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
