Scarlett Badal-Oroumieh LCSW-S & Owner
It is an honor to welcome you to my practice, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share a bit of my journey and how I came to be a therapist. Since I was a young teenager, I found myself drawn to learning about psychology and the mental health field. Being able to do this work now feels like an honor and the fulfillment of a childhood dream.
After obtaining my master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work in 2013, I earned my LMSW and began my work in the mental health field while working toward my LCSW. I was fortunate to gain experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting adults and their families through a wide range of needs, challenges, and life transitions.
In 2019, my private practice journey began in a group practice setting, and I quickly realized how meaningful it was to walk alongside clients in a more personal and connected way. In 2024, I founded Hopestone Counseling, PLLC to serve individuals in my hometown of Houston and across the state of Texas by providing secure, accessible, and informed online therapy services. In 2026, my latest accomplishment was earning my Clinical Social Work Supervisor licensure (LCSW-S), allowing me to mentor and support developing clinicians as they grow in the field.
Therapeutic Approach
I recognize that every person brings their own history, strengths, and challenges into therapy. I tailor my approach to fit each individual rather than relying on a single method. Depending on your needs, I may integrate supportive therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family System (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychoeducation. I also value direct, honest guidance when it’s helpful. My intention is to provide a flexible, responsive therapeutic experience that meets you exactly where you are.
