Many people find addressing mental health concerns or managing life’s demands to be significantly easier with the help of a mental health professional. Therapists regularly help clients manage mental health conditions, find solutions to life’s problems, and overcome past traumatic experiences. They may be able to help with almost any threat to your mental or emotional well-being. 

If you aren’t experiencing adverse conditions, you may still want to seek therapy for help with self-improvement and personal growth. A therapist may be able to help you improve low self-esteem, develop healthier habits, or offer proactive strategies to bolster self-confidence. Problem-solving is another common area where therapists provide assistance. Many therapists use a solutions-focused approach, prioritizing potential solutions over a problem’s cause, to help their clients navigate challenging issues. 

Mental health professionals are highly trained. They typically begin their education by earning a bachelor’s degree, often in psychology or social work. Almost all therapists then earn at least a master’s degree, often in fields like clinical mental health counseling, clinical social work, or marriage and family therapy. After graduating from an accredited master’s program, therapists are qualified to work provisionally under a licensed professional counselor supervisor. It typically takes thousands of hours of supervised practice before a therapist can see clients independently. 

Once able to practice independently, many practitioners continue their training to specialize in specific practice areas. For example, many therapists receive additional training about couples and families. They might mainly see couples and spouses to reduce relationship conflict or work with the whole family to reduce family conflict. Some practitioners also specialize in specific treatment strategies, such as mindfulness-based therapy. 

Professional counseling and therapy require therapists to leverage their education and life experience to assist their clients. Choosing a practitioner whose experience aligns with your needs is typically helpful. You may also want to consider online therapy, which allows you to attend sessions remotely. 

If you’re ready to meet with a therapist, Hurst, TX, has plenty of options. You may want to consider starting with the providers listed below. You can view their profiles to learn more about their training and experience, and you can also read reviews from past clients to make an informed decision about whether they are a good fit for you.

Hello there, I’m Jenesis! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Louisiana and Texas. I received a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2015 from Louisiana Tech University. I have over five years of clinical experience working with a diverse background of children, adolescents and adults who desire to cope with issues relating to anxiety, depression, bipolar, selective mutism, ADHD, conduct disorder, impulse control, DMDD, addiction, life transitions and family conflict. I also specialize in Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy with a trauma-focused approach. One thing in life that is constant is change. Some changes in life are more difficult to navigate than others. When we are stressed, anxious or depressed, it is a sign that our lives are out of balance. My focus is on providing a trusting, safe, supportive, nonjudgmental and empathetic space for adults, couples, and families to share their experiences and to help navigate through some more difficult life changes. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make changes to improve their lives, find purpose, and meaningful fulfillment. Deciding to engage in therapy can be overwhelming. Finding a therapist whose personality and style is a good fit is important. I believe in developing skills for effective coping mechanisms for overall holistic wellness. I look forward to helping clients facilitate positive change and working collaboratively with them to achieve goals they never thought were possible.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about licensed therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Hurst area can be found below:

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Hurst due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Hurst may not take health insurance, some in the state of Texas may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Texas you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.
