Learn About Lets Talk...

Therapy is a collaborative process of understanding where you are, where you've been, and where you want to go. Together, we'll create space for the psychological, philosophical, and spiritual dimensions of being human - because meaningful change often begins when we allow ourselves to see the whole picture.

At Lets Talk… Professional Counseling, PLLC, our mission is to empower clients across Texas to achieve mental wellness and resilience. Chris Perez, LPC integrates person-centered and existential therapies intended to support personal, social, physical, and spiritual health.

Chris founded Lets Talk… Professional Counseling, PLLC with a passion for helping others. Chris is an Army veteran, teacher, coach, school counselor, podcast host, writer, and LPC. Chris brings a deep understanding of the challenges faced by clients.

I believe meaningful therapy begins with understanding the whole person - how we think, how we experience the world, what we value, and what gives our lives meaning. My approach integrates Existential, Cognitive Behavioral, and Strength-Based therapy to create a space where we can explore the deeper questions of life, recognize the thoughts and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build upon the strengths, resilience, and capacities you already possess. Together, we’ll work not only to navigate what is difficult, but to develop greater self-awareness, intentionality, and authenticity as you move toward a life that feels meaningful and uniquely your own. 

If you have a need that is not addressed here on our website, please allow us the opportunity to help you find the right professional counselor that meets your wants and requirements.

“After working with Chris, I feel more confident and in control of my anxiety and stress. I began working with Chris my first year in education. It was a very challenging time, and I honestly second guessed my choice to become an educator. But after talking with Chris, I was able to find strength in empathy, compassion, and kindness. Highly recommend!” – A.S.

“I appreciate Chris’s compassionate approach and his understanding of military life. When I ended my time of service, I thought I had everything all figured out. But when I faced some of the complex issues veterans face, quickly I realized that civilian life has more obstacles than I anticipated. I knew I needed to talk with some to plan, coordinate, and execute on my goals. He has helped me navigate challenges effectively.” – J.R.

"As a high school athlete, you oftentimes feel very stressed to meet the demands being put on you. Working with Chris, I felt more encouraged to overcome mental and emotional performance obstacles, such as anger, anxiety, and my fear of not being perfect. Now, after working with Chris, I feel more aware, evolved, and ready to create a healthy athletic experience." -C.P.
