About me
My name is Subena Gustave. I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas. I am passionate about the mental health and well being and I have been working in the field for more than 15 years. I earned a Masters in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice and then a Masters in Social Work from Touro College, both in New York City. Throughout the years I have worked with many different populations in various settings. I have worked with children and adults in inpatient, outpatient and partial hospital settings as well as community based programs. I currently work in private Texas. My consumers have presented with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, bi polar disorder and depression, schizophrenia, ADHD, and family related concerns. I have worked with children from ages 5-17 and engaged children in individual sessions as well as group and family sessions in order to achieve best possible outcomes.
What should you expect from me: I am a compassionate and empathetic listener. I will be honest and respectful in all my interactions. My approach is client centered and with the use of cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing and solution focused brief therapies I aim assist you in achieving your goals. I believe my job as a therapist is not to give you answers but to help you focus on your strengths and explore your options and find the best resolutions to your concerns and conflicts.
As a parent, I know that allowing to a stranger into your family's life is difficult, however as a parent I also know that sometime we are too close to the issue to address it the way we should. I applaud you for your courage in seeking help for our child and look forward to working along with your loved one on this journey.

Subena has been great to work with. She’s quick to respond, has provided resources, and is very patient. My son has had a few sessions with her and he always seems like a weight is lifted after a session with her.
She is soooo nice! She’s fast: as soon as we matched she sent me a message and started asking questions trying to understand me! I feel very heard with her! She’s very knowledgeable
I appreciate Subena's open communication and warmth. She helps me feel validated and understood while offering practical advice and suggestions.

She is awesome attentive and helpful. I love that she sent me a worksheet on tips to manage my anxiety! Thank you!
