Therapists in Athens, TX

My name is Jason Adams. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and a National Certified Counselor. I have over a decade of experience in the field of mental health and currently operate a private counseling practice in Keller, Texas. I primarily work with young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, career issues, relationship and marriage problems, and other life challenges. I also work with couples and business professionals. My approach is to develop a relaxed, non-threatening, and non-clinical professional relationship with my clients. I recognize that the first step to a better life is often the most difficult. I help my clients with that first step and the path that follows. Together, we develop individualized strategies that produce results and lead to a more fulfilling life. I completed my master's degree in counseling at Dallas Baptist University. I also have a bachelor's degree in corporate communication, which I utilize in my work with entrepreneurs and business professionals. My professional experience includes stints in business management and various sectors of the field of mental health, including working with mild to severe mental health issues, intellectual disabilities, foster and adoptive families, and victims of abuse. More recently, I've concentrated my counseling practice on dealing with the common, yet significant, challenges that life inevitably brings. If you are searching for direction, contentment, or need help getting past an obstacle in your personal or professional life, I would welcome the opportunity to assist you.

Hello! My name is Meagan and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with over 11 years of experience and a doctoral graduate from Argosy University (EdD in Counseling Psychology). I have worked with clients whose concerns include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and bipolar disorder. I have helped many clients who have experienced physical trauma and/or emotional abuse as well, and clients who are in the military. My clients have included children, adolescents, and adults who come from diverse backgrounds and have provided these services during individual sessions, couple sessions, family sessions, and group sessions. My counseling style focuses on clients identifying their problems and working with them to develop appropriate coping skills to be address how they act and react to situations. Respect and compassion are keystones in my practice, because I believe these qualities significantly impact how people act and react. My theoretical orientation does not rely on just one basis, but pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, so that the client is not forced into a therapy that he or she might not truly benefit from. I do understand change can be hard and uncomfortable and the courage to ask for help or assistance should be commended. When you are ready, I am here to assist you with any concerns.
