Grief counselors and therapists in Amarillo, TX

Hi my name is Cordell Spears, and I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in helping people with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, culture/identity specific issues and issues related to neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism). I am trained as a generalist thus I am equipped to treat most issues that clients bring in. I also write gender reassignment surgery letters. In addition, I am Houstonian through and through even though I lived in the Chicagoland area for over a decade. I am an avid dog lover and gamer who also likes to be active and exercise.

I believe in the principles that I share and use them in my own life to bring joy and rejuvenation. I have a deep commitment to mindfulness, embracing each moment with presence and gratitude. I want to help you find your own place of peace and a direction that leads you to wake up each day with a sense of hope and belonging. I also have a special certification to work with first responders, as they have very unique and specific individual and family dynamics.

"Many hands make light work." This quote reminds us that the challenges we carry can feel lighter when we do not have to face them alone. I am also inspired by the idea of infinite diversity in infinite combinations: the belief that each person’s unique identity, history, strengths, and experiences deserve to be honored. I began my career in community mental health 23 years ago, working with adults living with severe mental illnesses. Over time, that experience deepened my belief that mental health deserves the same care, attention, and dignity as physical health. This conviction ultimately led me to become a licensed clinical social worker.

If you are an adult navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, or other major stressors, I want you to know that support is available. My goal is to offer a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered as you work through life’s challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) committed to supporting individuals across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds as they navigate emotional, behavioral, relational, and life challenges. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to work toward meaningful change. I have experience serving diversive populations including hospice, adults, geriatric, and adolescents.

I believe that even during life's most difficult seasons, growth and healing are possible.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship concerns, career changes, burnout, and other significant life transitions. Whether you're navigating divorce, adjusting to a new chapter, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can process your experiences and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

My therapeutic approach is personalized and evidence-based. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to meet clients where they are and help them achieve meaningful progress.

With experience as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and educational leader, I understand the unique pressures many adults face while balancing work, family, relationships, and personal growth.

My hope is that every client leaves therapy feeling more empowered, resilient, and confident in their ability to navigate whatever comes next.

"Together, we'll create a path forward—one step at a time."

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C and LICSW) who works with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief and loss, chronic pain, and life transitions. I understand that emotional well-being can be affected by relationships, physical health, past experiences, and significant changes. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My faith in the Holy Trinity of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit greatly shape my life, and my work. I believe you have everything you need within you to achieve your goals and heal.

“If we want to not just survive but also to thrive in this always challenging world, we have to intentionally develop our capacity to act with courage.” My job is to help you find and develop that courage for the challenges of life.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families who want more than just relief from stress or conflict—they want meaningful change. I believe courage isn’t about being fearless; it’s about showing up honestly, even when it’s uncomfortable, and taking small, intentional steps toward the life and relationships you want. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and uncover new ways of responding that feel more aligned with who you truly are.

I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.
