You've been called too much, or not enough. Maybe both, depending on the room. I work with individuals and couples in affirming, culturally responsive therapy. POC, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in ENM and nontraditional relationships, and anyone who's spent a lifetime translating themselves to be understood. Clients come in carrying grief, people-pleasing patterns, identity questions, the weight of being misread, or a relationship that's drifted, gone quiet, or is trying to find a new shape that actually fits. I'll challenge you and stay warm doing it. I don't ask you to shrink or perform to be met. This is a space to be known in full.
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.
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."

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you
Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Corpus Christi
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Corpus Christi starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist whose profile names experience with LGBTQIA+ communities, gender identity, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists may also list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or experience with gender-diverse clients. These details can help you find care that fits your needs, values your identity, and supports the goals you choose to bring into therapy.
In a mid-size market like Corpus Christi, local options for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy may vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual sessions can expand access if you want more choice beyond nearby offices or need a therapist whose availability fits your week. As you compare options, look at whether the therapist is accepting new clients, offers a free phone consultation, and has training that matches what you want to focus on. Reading bios closely can help you see how a therapist describes their style, communication approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients before you book.
Therapy in Corpus Christi can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs before your first session. You can compare therapists by specialty, appointment type, availability, and insurance fit, then book directly when you are ready.
