Autism Testing in Texas

Cecilia knows real change begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself. Cecilia Coleman, LPC-Associate (supervised by Shawna Lovin, LPC-S), supports adolescents, young adults, and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-doubt. Using an evidence-based, integrative approach, she helps clients build resilience, find clarity, and grow with confidence.

Hello welcome to my page. I am an LPC in the state of Texas and I work with women, young adults, and children/teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or are going through difficult transitions. Many of my clients are used to holding a lot in, trying to meet expectations, and taking care of others while quietly struggling themselves. I also support neurodivergent clients, including those on the autism spectrum, who may feel misunderstood or exhausted from trying to navigate environments that don’t always fit how they naturally think or process the world. When working with children, I use play-based and developmentally appropriate approaches to help them express emotions, build coping skills, and feel safe and understood. I also work closely with parents to support them in better understanding and responding to their child’s needs. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical. I draw from CBT and mindfulness, while also creating space for you to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and feel genuinely heard. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling more clear, more grounded, and more connected to yourself not just getting through things but understanding what you need and how to support yourself moving forward. I look forward to getting to know you more in the therapy room. Hola, y bienvenidos. Soy Consejera Profesional Licenciada (LPC) en el estado de Texas. Trabajo con mujeres, adultos jóvenes, y niños/adolescentes que se sienten abrumados, con ansiedad, o que están pasando por momentos difíciles o cambios importantes en sus vidas. Muchos de mis clientes están acostumbrados a cargar con mucho, tratando de cumplir con expectativas, cuidar de los demás, y mantener todo bajo control mientras por dentro están luchando en silencio. También trabajo con personas neurodivergentes, incluyendo quienes están dentro del espectro de autismo, que muchas veces se sienten incomprendidas o agotadas de tener que adaptarse a entornos que no siempre van con su forma natural de pensar, procesar o experimentar el mundo. Cuando trabajo con niños, utilizo enfoques basados en el juego y apropiados para su desarrollo para ayudarles a expresar sus emociones, desarrollar herramientas para manejar lo que sienten, y sentirse seguros y comprendidos. También trabajo de la mano con los padres para ayudarles a entender mejor y responder a las necesidades de sus hijos. Mi enfoque es colaborativo, cercano y práctico. Integro Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual (CBT) y mindfulness, mientras creo un espacio donde puedas bajar revoluciones, entender mejor lo que estás viviendo y sentirte realmente escuchada. Mi meta es que salgas de cada sesión sintiéndote más clara, más en calma y más conectado contigo mismo no solo sobreviviendo el día a día, sino entendiendo lo que necesitas y cómo apoyarte en tu proceso. Será un placer conocerte.

I provide a supportive, judgment-free space for teens and young adults who may be struggling with anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, or life transitions. Therapy with me is gentle, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel understood while building tools to navigate everyday challenges with more confidence. I also work closely with parents, offering guidance and support as you navigate your child’s emotional and behavioral needs. You don’t have to figure it out alone—I’m here to support both you and your family. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist, I’m committed to providing culturally responsive care that meets you where you are.

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (English and Spanish) with 10 years of experience supporting children and adolescents across residential and outpatient settings, with a strong foundation in trauma informed care. My work is grounded in cultural humility, and I draw from an eclectic therapeutic approach tailored to each client’s needs. I integrate a warm, empathetic style with evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and art-based therapeutic techniques. I have extensive experience working with immigrant and first-generation youth, as well as clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. I collaborate closely with parents by meeting with them biweekly to review progress, align on goals, and introduce practical tools they can use at home to support their child’s growth and well-being. My clinical experience includes supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, distress tolerance, identity development, communication challenges within families, healthy relationships, suicidal ideation, self-harm, trauma, domestic violence exposure, and LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC related concerns. I value the wellness of the mind, body and spirit to help clients cultivate resilience, healing and a meaningful quality of life.
