Lea Rhoden PhD

My practice is focused on assisting clients to adapt and transform their lives within a context that embraces social, racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender equality. The capacity of humans to heal is innate. In the therapy process, I provide the space and support for clients to do what they were born to do: adapt and transform. My 20 years of licensed counseling experience treating a wide range of diagnoses, in addition to my work in community education and advocacy, law enforcement, and corrections has afforded me a unique perspective on trauma and resiliency. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, Licensed Chemical Dependency Therapist in Texas, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois, and am a National Certified Counselor through the National Board of Certified Counselors. As a trained Cognitive Behavioral therapist, I also employ a variety of techniques dependent on the needs of each individual client. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy), as well as being a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and a Certified Pilates Instructor. I love to blend mind/body/spirit practices with my “traditional” therapeutic training.
