Mary Markos-Jian (LPC)

I am licensed in Texas with 22 years of professional work experience. I have worked in a large, urban high school setting assisting students grades 9-12 with personal issues, post secondary educational, and vocational needs, as well as social and behavioral concerns. My main focus is on grief and trauma. The students with whom I work come from diverse backgrounds. Many are refugees who have experienced trauma and need help processing all they have endured. Other families are undocumented, and need assistance with immigration and college admissions. I am bilingual and serve families whose first language is Spanish. Additionally, I have clinical experience, and am proficient in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, relationship issues, & family conflicts. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I incorporate a variety of modalities based on the individual needs and goals of the client. Modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I conduct individual as well as family and group therapies. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
