About Dr. Cooper

Hello there!
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I am Dr. Caren Cooper, the Founder and Clinical Director for Cooper Counseling and Wellness LLC. I am a native Houstonian, born and raised on the southside of H-Town. I am a proud wife to my husband (for over a decade) and mother to 3 beautiful kiddos, one of which is a micropreemie warrior (shoutout to my fellow NICU moms)! I am a former high school and collegiate volleyball and basketball athlete who needs to get back in shape but in my spare time, I try to exercise (occasionally), juicing (my new favorite thing), and watching all things Chicago PD and Law and Order. I currently provide virtual mental health and wellness services to residents across Texas and Florida, as well as provide supervision services to Texas LPC-Associates.

My Story
As a wife, mother of three, entrepreneur, and mental health professional, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to balance the demands of work, family, relationships, and self-care. Life's transitions can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we need support, guidance, and a safe space to process our experiences. My goal is to help clients navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being.
I am a Board Approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (Texas #68058) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist (PMH-C) serving clients throughout Texas. With more than a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, women's issues, stress, life transitions, and perinatal mental health concerns.
My passion lies in supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, traumatic birth experiences, NICU journeys, pregnancy loss, infertility challenges, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), including postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. I am also committed to advocating for and supporting Black maternal mental health and reducing barriers to care for underserved communities.
In addition to my work in maternal mental health, I specialize in trauma recovery and am trained in both Basic and Advanced EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. EMDR is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals process traumatic experiences, reduce emotional distress, and move toward healing and recovery.
Whether you are navigating a major life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, processing grief, healing from trauma, or adjusting to the challenges of pregnancy and parenthood, therapy can provide the support and tools needed to move forward.
I understand that finding the right therapist is an important decision. That's why I offer a complimentary 10-minute video consultation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, discuss your needs, and determine whether we are a good fit.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and wellness.
