Professional Disclosure Statement
Daphne Riddle, M.S., LPC, NCC
Qualifications:
I am a graduate of Texas Woman’s University with a Master’s Degree in
Counseling and Development. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor
with the State of Texas, as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor. I received my
undergraduate degree from the University of North Texas, earning a Bachelor of
Science in Criminal Justice. I specialize in working with at-risk behaviors, as well
as those recovering from abuse or trauma. I also consider the areas of family
counseling, parenting, at-risk behaviors and pre-marital counseling as specialty
areas. In addition, I am certified as a Mental Health Specialist through the
Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) and provide
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy which is an extremely powerful and healing
modality for individuals, families and groups.
Experience:
I have worked with adolescents (ages 10 and up) for over 18 years. My experience
includes working within the juvenile justice system, the Texas youth commission,
schools and residential treatment. I have also worked with the senior adult
population. I have provided individual counseling, group counseling, mediation,
crisis intervention/management, CEU trainings and workshop presentations.
I’ve been working as a Counselor since 2007, becoming fully licensed in 2009.
Since licensure, I have worked with a wide population including children (5 years
and up), adolescents, young adults, families, couples, parents, senior adults,
individuals and groups.
Nature of Counseling:
As your counselor, I will work with you to more fully understand yourself and the
challenges you are facing. I believe the therapeutic relationship is of utmost
importance and will be one of mutual respect and cooperation. You will be asked
to be an active participant in our work, as I may suggest assignments, readings,
or activities for you to do between sessions. As a Rational Emotive Behavior
Therapist, it is my belief that our emotional responses are based on our beliefs

that we’ve cultivated about ourselves, others and the world around us. And
gaining understanding with a motivation towards change will help us confront
our irrational or harmful thoughts and behaviors. I recently began delving deeper into training
and study on the therapeutic process of Mindfulness and Brain Integration. I believe these
schools of thought work well in conjunction with each other and can provide deep and
meaningful positive change in our lives.
AVAILABLE SERVICES: I provide counseling services, for individuals, families, couples, and group services.
I use counseling techniques that include, but are not limited to; REBT, Mindfulness, Brain Integration, Solution
Focused Brief Therapy, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
COUNSELING: I provide counseling designed to address many of the issues my clients are dealing with
including depressed mood, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, communication difficulties and
reconciliation of past problems or relationships. Your first visit will be an assessment session in which you and
I will determine your concerns, and if both agree that I can meet your therapeutic needs, develop a plan of
treatment. It is imperative to your success in therapy that you are willing to work at the plan we develop
together.
My goal is to provide the most effective therapeutic experience available to you. If at any time you feel that you
and I are not a good fit, please discuss this matter with me to determine if transferring to a more suitable
therapist is right for you. If we decide that other services would be more appropriate, I can assist you in finding
a provider to meet your needs.
RISKS AND BENEFITS: Counseling and psychotherapy are beneficial, but as with any treatment, there are
inherent risks. During counseling, you will have discussions about personal issues which may bring to the
surface uncomfortable emotions. However, the benefits of counseling can far outweigh any discomfort
encountered during the process. Some of the possible benefits are improved personal relationships, reduced
feelings of emotional distress, and specific problem solving. Of course, these benefits cannot be guaranteed.
It is my desire, however, to work with you to attain your personal goals for counseling/psychotherapy.
CLIENT/THERAPIST RELATIONSHIP: You and I will have a professional relationship existing exclusively for
therapeutic treatment. This relationship functions most effectively when it remains strictly professional and
involves only the therapeutic aspect. I can best serve clients’ needs by focusing solely on therapy and
avoiding any type of social or business relationship. Gifts are not appropriate, nor are any sort of trades of
service for service.
