Therapists in Bowie, TX
Bowie, Texas sits along the Old Chisholm Trail. The town was once the most important banking center between Fort Worth and Wichita Falls when the railroad finally came through the area. The strong spirit of the pioneers was built on the wagon train drive to the area and still embodies the residents of Bowie. Some days, you might have trouble embracing your pioneer spirit and life seems like a never-ending trail to nowhere.
The reality is that spirit is merely masked by reduced quality of mental health. What’s important is being matched with a confidential Bowie area mental health counselor who can help to open up the journey before you.

Together we can develop goals, strengthening the abilities you already have and move towards living the life you want. We can develop a better understanding of your choices, what control you have within them and the impact this has in your life. Your empowerment to make the changes you want is within you and I am here to support you on this journey. I look forward to speaking with you and starting this new experience.

I am currently closed to new clients. "Help me." "I need to change..." These were two common statements from clients of all ages while I was in private practice for 11 years in Texas. I specialized in working with families with children and adolescents. I wrote books and spoke at seminars to help teens and their families. Now with over 20 years of experience my greatest satisfaction comes from helping clients with a wide array of issues focusing on making positive change happen. Now, I am available online to help you change your life. My "prized" evening spots are limited to 16 (there's only one of me), but I do work 11am - 9:15pm during the week (offering 45-minute sessions only). My diverse training allows us, together, to ascertain problems, develop goals, and set a realistic timeline for improvement. Each treatment plan is different for each client. My training as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Texas has allowed a deeper understanding of how you interact with those at home, at work, or at school. My "down-to-earth" conversations can even help your children or partner improve. My holistic approach can even incorporate your religious values. Let's talk about how we can change your life.

Whatever the challenge you are facing today, counseling can help you find your path to your authentic self and a life you love and deserve. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor licensed in Texas with over 27 years of experience working as a professional counselor and life coach. My practice has transitioned into one that promotes growth and change in individual adults and couples. I am trained in mediation and as a collaborative law counseling facilitator.

I assist employers, employees, students, athletes, and professional performance artists in the process of tapping into their core self to release the optimum level in talent, skill, and productivity. Counseling can be what you make of it; therefore, I utilize a multifaceted program of therapy (solution focused, client-centered, Cognitive Behavioral) in order to address your challenges which are as unique and individualized as are you. In other words, I am flexible in my approach. My goal is to meet you where you are in your journey and together, we will take the steps necessary toward living the life you want to live. During your counseling journey, my role is to help guide you in your discovery of the challenges you are facing and then reflect your feelings, statements, and actions in response to your identified challenges. We all need someone to listen and reflect to us (without fear of judgment) the story we tell of our struggles; therefore, counseling is meant for each one of us at some point in our lives. I believe this is the reason you are here learning about how I can be here for you – if you choose. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Life can get overwhelming at times. Sometimes we face challenges in our careers that leave us feeling unfulfilled, or we experience friction in our relationships that leave us feeling isolated, while at other times we may struggle to love ourselves for the unique and wonderful beings that we are. My goal as your therapist is to allow you to be heard and validated, while working toward the changes you would like to see occur in your own life. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we will identify solutions and practice skills that will allow you to resolve any challenges that you face. I have been a licensed social worker in the state of Texas since 2018. I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) with specialization in Mental health and substance use, from University of Texas at Arlington. I have worked in behavioral health throughout my career, although I have taken a brief adventure outside the field in 2020 to teach English language to high school students in Myanmar, Southeast Asia. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. I am also a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist and support diversity, inclusion, and equality. You are the author of your story and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you in life. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey!
