Therapists in Texas

You may have come to this site because you're hurting, dealing with issues of life that you just can't seem to figure out, or simply searching for a safe place to share your thoughts and the things that are on your heart and mind. Or maybe you're facing disappointment, anger, or resentment, and at times you feel like you want to throw in the towel. There is good news... I am here to walk with you and help you move from merely surviving to thriving! I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have somebody that they can be transparent with and receive insight oriented feedback about what is troubling them in their lives. Helping people connect the dots and discover the purpose in those life events and experiences is what I believe is the key to a better life. By coming here it means that you have taken the 1st step to getting better and I would be happy to help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate from Barry University and Bachelor's and Master's degree from The University of Texas @ Arlington with over 15 years of varied experience working with children, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings providing both long term and brief interventions. Areas of expertise include: Anxiety & Depression, Relationship challenges, Family conflict, Phases of life changes, and next steps. I welcome clients with these particular struggles. I use a variety of therapeutic tools and tailor treatment to the individual, couple, or family. I believe that change happens when people are given the insight they need to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling, happy lives and get back to the "normal" that we all desire. In my free time I love traveling, spending time with my family, and giving back through various service projects in my community. Helping people is my passion and helping you would give me joy!

I specialize in MEN'S issues, with several years of experience providing mental health services, primarily to Men. I believe everyone has the potential for change when provided optimal psychoeducation, a space to be vulnerable, and individualized therapies that are driven by genuine warmth and support. Men historically do not seek mental health services because of stigma, fear of not being understood, and limited numbers of male therapists who "get" them. MEN’s issues can include mental health and wellness, self-care practices, relationship problems, healthy relationship skills, depression, stress, anxiety, crisis management, anger management, career exploration, and academic concerns. What makes an issue a “MEN’s issue” depends on how it was developed. MEN’s issues are developed within a context (such as family raised in, time period, culture, or geographical area). Such contexts have the potential to define behavior as something a man would or would not do. These definitions can be limiting and unhelpful. They can restrict the problem-solving ability of Men in situations that require more flexible and adaptive responses. Anger and irritability: Often, Men are taught to hide more vulnerable emotions such as hurt or sadness and instead express anger and lash out. This may be the only way they have learned to communicate they are hurting. However, anger can have disastrous effects on relationships. Learning how to communicate hurt and sadness effectively can facilitate an opportunity for repair and even strengthen relationships. Psychotherapy can help Men let go of problematic anger and express the vulnerability needed to have fulfilling relationships. Numbing or pushing away emotions: Some MEN may have been raised in environments where the very experience of emotion was unacceptable. This can result in attempts to avoid or control emotions. For example, ending relationships, devaluing the importance of loved ones, or keeping people at a distance can be ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings. Unfortunately, these attempts to control emotions can result in even more problems and even more difficult emotions. Therapy can help men identify, learn to deal with, and effectively express emotions in more adaptive ways and help preserve and strengthen relationships. Dr. Robinson earned his master's degree in counseling and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board-Certified National Counselor, and Board Certified TeleMental Health (BC-TMH) provider with various experiences from counseling adults, couples, and college students. He later went on to earn his Doctor of Education degree. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over ten years of counseling experience. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I also believe that achieving a higher state of mindfulness can help every person be present in the moment and therefore create more meaningful relationships. My goal is to help my clients live an authentic life where they can have healthy relationships, healthy workplaces, and be present in their lives. I enjoy developing a strong working relationship with my clients. I never judge my clients, and will only present myself with unconditional positive regard for you. It's only through introspection that we find our true selves. It's only through examining our choices, our thoughts, our behaviors, and our pasts, that we are able to make sense of our future. So if a relationship is troubling you, if your kids are making you doubt yourself, if your work is seeming to be an impossible situation, or if you find yourself unfulfilled, let's talk. Let's work together, for the better.

Let me help you build a better life by showing you how to examine your past and develop a more intentional and meaningful life.

Hi there! My name is Kacey Ardoin, and I am a clinical social worker licensed in Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, and Utah. I have been practicing in the social work field for about 9 years. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from The University of Georgia, and then went on to pursue my Master of Social Work degree with a clinical concentration. I have worked with clients in multiple settings and have experience with both group and individual therapy. My work has been primarily focused on helping people overcome depression and anxiety, especially as it relates to improving their overall health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). One of my greatest passions is suicide prevention, especially working with survivors of suicide loss. I have also worked in addiction and substance abuse recovery, and I greatly enjoyed seeing people reach the other side of their struggles. Other areas that I enjoy working with include relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and grief. My counseling style is empathetic and person-centered. I believe everyone deserves to be heard and treated with mutual respect. I align with a person-centered, solution-focused therapy model, while also using cognitive-behavioral therapy and reality therapy techniques. I am also certified as a Problem Solving Treatment Practitioner and like to incorporate these principles into sessions when they may be helpful. I especially enjoy working with people who are ambivalent about making a change in their lives, and I enjoy utilizing motivational interviewing techniques when possible. If you are feeling stuck, there is a reason - and I would love to work through that with you! Whether this is your first time in counseling or your hundredth time, I believe you have the power to break down whatever wall is standing in your way today. It takes strength to reach out for support, and for that, I want to congratulate you on your courage today! Thank you for your time and I look forward to working together.
