Marcos Leon, LPC, CSAT
Meet Marcos
I am the proud father of five, ranging from a 2018 college-graduated beautiful young woman, to a 2020 born girl. Originally from Ecuador, the U.S. has become my home for more than two decades. I married Julie in 2011, we live north of Houston, in the Kingwood area.
My passion is to discover the dynamics of psychology, spirituality, and behavior in the human soul. I do it while respecting the personal perspectives and preferences of my clients. I believe all human beings are constantly being formed and shaped by the experiences they live and by the quality of connection they experience with other human beings and with their own core values. I believe all human beings are wonderfully made and able to learn and grow, even if that requires some unlearning and relearning.
I have been working in the fields of spiritual direction and counseling since 2007, and I joined the team of Daring Ventures in 2020.
I work with adults and couples. I specialize in soul care, anxiety management, development of emotional maturity, grief, sexual addiction, and betrayal.
I am a spiritual director, a biblical counselor, and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas. I am a CSAT and a APSATS MPTM-Trained therapist.
Listen to periodically recorded conversations I've facilitated about spiritual matters. Also available in Spanish
