Therapists in Texas

No one in life is perfect, including me! Being able to identify, relate and empathize with you as my patient is probably one of my greatest strengths. The special relationship formed between you and I, ensuring trust, confidence, and ability to truly work through the issues are of utmost importance. I believe everyone has something to work through in their lives. By providing evidence based therapy and unconditional positive regard, I have been very effective in my treatment history. I will always begin where you feel you need to go in therapy and allow you to guide me in your struggles, what you need most and what you desire to gain from therapy. This is a two way relationship and feedback throughout the therapeutic process will only enhance the therapeutic relationship towards your goals. I wish for you to find the inner peace and strength that I know everyone has within them and to be able to achieve and live the life that makes you feel truly alive! As for some information about myself, I am a retired Army social worker and love that I have had the ability to work with Soldiers throughout a multitude of issues to include PTSD, depression, anxiety, phase of life issues, grief and loss, marital counseling, substance abuse, domestic violence intervention, parenting skills, and adjustment issues. My background and strengths are in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure and other desensitization therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Supportive Therapy. I like to provide psycho-education and lots of coping skills, self-reflective, and other psychological tools to allow patients to learn and grow via hands-on materials. Growth comes with constant practice and application of the things we learn. I hope you will allow me to be part of your journey and I look forward to meeting you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a PhD in Human Services with a specialization in counseling. My therapeutic style includes the concept that the counselor/client relationship is, in itself, a clinical helping strategy. My clinical style also includes narratives, vignettes, or brief stories designed to help illustrate or illuminate client circumstances in a non-threatening manner. This technique encourages clients to derive parallels to their own circumstances. I work with individuals and couples. Historically, most of my clientele have been adults/couples, followed by adolescents, and then older children. I currently work with adults only. Most of my therapeutic services involve adult relationship issues. These include adjusting to major life events and various forms of loss including health, divorce, empty nest issues, and intimacy problems. People commonly experience symptoms consistent with depression and anxiety during these life events. Additionally, I work with attention deficit disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, work related stress problems, adjustment issues, and general faith or spiritual issues. However, I am not a Christian based or Faith based therapist. Like most mental health clinicians, I have an eclectic approach to counseling in that I borrow from several theories of human behavior and development. However, I gravitate to the existential/transpersonal model in that I'm interested in what the person is experiencing today while considering the concept that people are spiritual beings embodied. I incorporate the cognitive behavioral model and, at times, utilize a more psychoanalytic model exploring the person's childhood experiences within a developmental context. My personal counseling philosophy consists of three fundamental pillars: 1. Human beings are spiritual beings embodied (Existential/Transpersonal Theory). 2. My clientele and I are more alike than different. Things important to me, as a person tend to be important to all people in general. For this reason, a positive counselor/client relationship may function as a therapeutic strategy. 3. The people I serve have the answers they seek before treatment begins. The therapeutic process serves to illuminate paths/options so that answers become more clearly visible. AVAILABILITY SCHEDULE I schedule 8 sessions per day, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. I take an hour break from 12:00pm - 1:00pm. This schedule enables me to provide 40 sessions per week, each session lasting 45 minutes.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1990 with clients in the state of Texas. I have worked with clients experiencing a broad range of issues and concerns including trauma, PTDS, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, parenting skills, self-care, and many other psychological issues. There are 2 essential things to be mindful of when engaging in therapy. First, all negative behavior is the result of unhealed wounds we carry around with us, knowingly or unknowingly, from the past. Second, all anger issues serve to cover deep levels of pain or hurt, and that is because anger is not a primary emotion. Anger is a secondary emotion provoked by hurtful feelings. I have helped many individuals who have experienced trauma (physical, mental, emotional and sexual) during childhood and adulthood. Using informed trauma therapy, clients learn to embrace the wound created by their trauma without having to relive any traumatic events. Steps to the healing process include: (1) examining the negative effects of trauma currently in one's life, (2) processing the impact that trauma has had on one's growth and development, (3) overcoming anxious thoughts and feelings of "not being enough," (4) accepting the "radical acceptance" of oneself and embracing the path to total healing, (5) developing effective coping strategies including learning to self-soothe, regulate emotions, establish healthy self-esteem, and develop skills to communicate and manage conflict effectively. My counseling style is best described as compassionate, accepting, fair, direct, straightforward, solutions-oriented, and motivated to help clients achieve their therapeutic goals. I see my role as the individual entrusted to help my clients face their fears and embrace radical acceptance of Self. My clients are ideally positioned to develop effective coping skills and facilitate the changes they want in their lives. Every session is about moving clients toward the goals they have established for their counseling experience. It can be frightening to take the first steps to engage with a therapist you have never met. It may be helpful to understand that I am experienced and well versed in the process of healing and facilitating change. Again, it's important to remember that all negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors are likely the result of a wound from the past that has not healed. I will listen to your thoughts and feelings, clarify issues associated with those thoughts and feelings, and guide you through the process for healing your wounds and facilitating change. My goal is to help you and guide you. You and I will work as a team and be in partnership regarding the direction of your counseling as well as specific goals for treatment. I look forward to working with you! Please take the first step toward the process of healing and change! We can do this together!
