Connections Counseling & Psychological Services

 Because healing begins with connection.

Connections Counseling & Psychological Services is a locally owned mental health practice dedicated to expanding access to high-quality, evidence-based care across East Texas. Founded by Dr. Laura Beth Cooper, a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor, Connections began as a solo practice and has grown into a thriving group of clinicians serving individuals, children, families, and couples.

With locations in both Lufkin and Nacogdoches, our mission is to make mental health services accessible, especially in rural communities where resources are often limited. We proudly work with insurance providers to reduce barriers to care and ensure that more individuals and families can receive the support they need.

Our team is trained in a wide range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and play therapy for children. We believe that effective therapy starts with a strong therapeutic relationship, and we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment for every client we serve.
At Connections, we don’t just focus on symptom relief, we focus on helping people build meaningful, lasting change in their lives. Whether someone is navigating stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, our goal is to meet them where they are and walk alongside them toward healing and growth.

Beyond the therapy room, we are passionate about community education and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health. We partner with local organizations, schools, and businesses to provide resources, training, and conversations that promote emotional well-being across our community.
We are honored to serve Nacogdoches and the surrounding areas and remain committed to strengthening the mental health of our region, one connection at a time.
