Norma Beardwood, LPC

Norma Beardwood brings decades of clinical experience to her practice in Texas, combining professional training with a compassionate, collaborative stance. Born and raised in Rhode Island with close ties to Bermuda, she now works with individuals and groups to address a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, eating and food-related issues, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Norma is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and has 41 years of experience in the field. She is also identified in her original biography as a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, credentials that inform her work with disordered eating and body image concerns.

Her therapeutic approach is intentionally flexible, drawing from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and experiential methods such as psychodrama when appropriate. Norma views therapy as a partnership built on mutual trust, respect, honest communication, and a shared commitment to the work. She aims to tailor interventions to each person’s goals and life context, and she invites prospective clients to consider whether her skills and style align with what they need for positive change and mental well-being.
