Tarrah Hubbell, LPC Intern Under the Supervision of Alisa McDonald, LPC-S
Counselor at Oakwood Roots

I earned my MA in Counseling from Sam Houston State University and BS in Psychology from Texas A&M. I have experience with a range of clients of various backgrounds. My approach to counseling is very client-centered and emphasizes the counselor-client relationship as I understand the importance of tailoring therapy for my clients’ individual experiences. I believe establishing a supportive and trusting relationship between us is a key to effective counseling. The counseling environment needs to promote trust and create an empathetic zone.

I utilize reality therapy in session which focuses on the here and now. After establishing a trusting relationship, my client and I can then begin to understand and explores their present needs, wants, perceptions, and behaviors and identify choices they are making that are hindering them. I strive to empower and help my clients to take control of their own lives and guide them in making choices that will allow them to thrive.
