Find a therapist in Missouri City, TX — covered by insurance

Hi, I’m Madeleine Vaughters, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and the owner of Shadow and Sun Counseling. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and strive to create a warm, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move toward healing and growth.

As your counselor, I will be a partner in developing appropriate treatment plans that accomplish established goals. I believe that human development is a lifelong process and personality and behavior changes are possible at any time. I also believe in the need for a flexible multicultural approach and that the counselor and client are equal partners.

I love working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have worked with people from various backgrounds and cultures throughout my career and these experiences help me to easily connect with my clients. Additionally, I have worked with children and adults with anxiety disorders, provided pre-marital counseling, and addressed spiritual concerns for individuals, couples, and families. I have obtained specialized instruction in working with victims of human trafficking, and persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender. Also, I have experience working with persons of varied ethnic, racial, sexual orientation, and religious backgrounds.

As a Counselor, I am always looking for opportunities to grow and develop my abilities to best serve my clients. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). I am an active member American Counseling Association (ACA) and Texas Counseling Association (TCA). I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to achieve and maintain wellness.

I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.

Hello, I'm Lindsay Shelton. I have worked in the mental health field since 2017, beginning my career in crisis services supporting individuals and families through challenging seasons of life. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Houston–Clear Lake and my Master of Education from Lamar University. I have a passion for supporting women and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, infertility, maternal mental health, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered.

My career as a professional Counselor is new. I was forced to leave a 26 year career behind after a fall at work prevented me from being able to that job any longer. Forced to live on disability, I went back to school to earn a degree that led to where I am now.

I feel my life experiences afford me a no-judgement, above-average understanding of people, their experiences, and their behaviors.

If you're looking for a warm, open-minded, creative therapist, you've come to the right place! I have a Master's in Professional Counseling from Texas State University, and have been practicing since 2015. I see clients in person at my office in Cypress, TX; and virtually in TX, CO, and WA. My specialties are athlete mental health, eating disorders, and trauma-- all of which I'm ever curious and passionate about!
