Therapists in Texas

Thanks for reaching out! I am a professional counselor licensed in Texas with 4 years of experience. While that may not seem like much, I am well equipped in helping others figure out this thing we call life. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting and life transitions. My style is interactive, open and empathic. My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment in which my clients can feel safe to explore their emotions in order to reach their full potential. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, conversational and collaborative. Together, we will utilize cognitive behavioral and solution focused strategies to tackle your issues and make lasting change happen! Life is challenging. It tests us daily and prompts change in us individually, as well as in our relationships. Let me empower you to reach your goals and navigate the challenges that you face. I offer live sessions throughout the week and on occasional Saturdays. I will schedule live sessions with you directly through messaging! I look forward to working with you!

I received my Bachelors in Clinical Psychology with a minor in Christian Studies at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and my Masters in Clinical Psychology at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. I then acquired my LPC while working at a Behavioral Health Hospital and am currently over the counseling department for a Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Shelter. While working at the Behavioral Hospital I served both inpatient and outpatient clients with a variety of counseling options including: individual, group, activity therapy, and family sessions. These clients suffered from a number of disorders ranging from Bipolar, Schizophrenia, PTSD, ADHD, Major Depression, Borderline, Anorexia, Anti-social, and Substance-Abuse. While serving victims of domestic violence and sexual assault I offer individual, group, psycho-educational, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) for complex PTSD. My therapeutic approach stems from several disciplines including: Client-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Solution Focused Therapy. My role as the clinician is not to tell people what they should do or even offer advice. I trust all of my clients to be experts in what is truly best for them. My job is to create a safe, judge free space where therapeutic change can occur. It is through team work where I challenge clients to separate the mental health concern from their identity in hopes to receive true healing, peace, and confidence to thrive.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing for more than 20 years and find great satisfaction in watching clients achieve a more personally acceptable quality of life. Though I have worked with a wide variety of populations, for the last 13 years I have been working in a clinical setting with adults experiencing a variety of issues from abandonment, loss of independence, grief and general adjustment to life stressors. I would consider my therapeutic style to be encouraging when necessary but I am also willing to give some firm feedback when necessary. I find that building a therapeutic relationship to be the most reliable tool in ensuring you get the most from your counseling experience. Whether you are dealing with stress, relational issues, debilitating mood problems or simply in need of a sounding board, I believe we can work together to bring you to needed changes or insights. It is my belief that even the bad parts of our lives can be woven together to make a suit of armor that is protective, not necessarily something that drags behind weighing us down. Together, we can make this transition. I look forward to our journey!

I have been practicing 35 years as a Clinical Licensed Social Worker providing mental health and behavioral counseling services to children and adults in a variety of outpatient. inpatient, school and medical settings. Some the presenting issues for which I have experience and additional training include addressing delayed effects of trauma, developing adaptive replacement coping skills, decreasing effects of anxiety/depression, family of origin and relationship issues, coping with grief & loss, increasing motivation, self esteem/confidence, managing chronic pain, decreasing phobic/avoidance behaviors, ADHD, autism and stress management. When starting therapy, one of my top priorities is to create, as quickly as possible, a therapeutic relationship of mutual respect that provides a safe & nurturing environment honoring the courage it takes to venture into the unknown, share private information and to be willing to try some new things. My style of therapy is based upon a wellness model that honors the whole person emphasizing that a balance between and within multiple spheres of human needs is the basis for mental and emotional wellbeing. So you can expect that in the first session, I will be asking you to share current and historical information about each one on these areas: Social, Emotional, Mental (thinking processes), Physical, Spiritual. From there together we will define areas that are causing you to seek counseling. I also work from a client centered model, which means we work as a collaborative team. Decisions about goals and priorities are decided upon by you with my professional feedback/ clarification assisting you in exploring/defining the issue and its priority. From there we will be begin developing a plan to address those in the most meaningful way. Out of my tool box of interventions, I will recommend the evidence based ones that will be most effective. I will explain the intervention and how it works so you can make an informed decision about that course of treatment. The interventions that I have used extensively in my practice and for which I have engaged in on-going training include but limited to: Cognitive & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (CBT & DBT), trauma informed interventions, Solution Focused Therapy, Gestalt, Grief Counseling, Family Therapy, Client Centered Therapy. In addition I have experience & knowledge of psychopharmacology. Therapy is a very dynamic process which needs to be able to adapt to a need for a change in direction. In order to keep to ensure the plan can adapt to your needs, each session we will be evaluating those earlier treatment goal decisions to refine or move in position of priority redefining treatment goals as needed. Also, we will process your experiences & results of outside assignments that occur between sessions. The pace, depth and direction of sessions will be up to you with my therapeutic feedback and support. If this describes what you think will be a good match, I look forward to meeting you on line and support to take next steps so moving forward.
