Portia Hopkins

Portia Hopkins is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas and carries a state clinical social work license (TX LCSW 40767). She brings 23 years of experience in social work to her practice, including three years specifically working as a psychotherapist and life coach.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as anger, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, career obstacles, and questions about life purpose. She has spent a decade working with personal grief and loss and is recently certified in complex trauma treatment, which informs her work with survivors of trauma and abuse and those experiencing compassion fatigue.

Portia describes her therapeutic stance as an emotional crossing guard - guiding clients through difficult emotional moments with steady, empathetic support. She is committed to building genuine, supportive relationships grounded in unconditional positive regard, and she approaches therapy with the belief that people are experts in their own lives and benefit from guidance and support.

Her method weaves together cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness, and psychodynamic techniques. She collaborates with clients to create treatment plans tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. Portia welcomes those ready to take steps toward greater balance and is available to support, encourage, and cheer clients on as they work toward meaningful change.
