Victor Casares is a student counselor-in-training under the supervision of Dr. Jinnelle V. Powell, Ph.D., LPC-S, EMDR Trainer & Consultant and Paul Martinez, MS, LPC, LCDC, EMDR Certified Therapist. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas A&M University in College Station. It was also at A&M that he volunteered for the Texas A&M HelpLine for four years, providing a non-judgmental listening ear for callers. It was in this role that he felt a great sense of purpose listening to callers share their stories and their troubles, and he cultivated a gentle, compassionate, person-centered approach to mental health.

Victor has since moved back to Corpus Christi to pursue his master's degree in Professional Counseling at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. After moving back, he also worked at an after-hours crisis line, where he further developed his ability to help clients in crisis situations. 

In his free time, Victor enjoys walking or jogging, playing video games, and traveling to visit friends out of town.
