Therapists in Cedar Park, TX
Mental health services are often recognized as an effective treatment for mental health disorders (previously called mental illness), but therapy can be beneficial for almost anybody. Therapy can offer tools to meet life’s challenges, manage stress, and create a more fulfilling life. A therapist can also be an emotional support for both your struggles and moments of triumph.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Cedar Park, TX may offer more options than many surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One reason for this is that in the mental health field, counseling and psychiatric services can be highly specialized. There are many evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are more or less effective depending on the challenges being addressed, as well as personal preference. Family counseling can be effective for family conflict, but may not be the right match for someone seeking treatment for a personality disorder. You may be looking for individual therapy, and the closes clinic offers group counseling. There are so many options that what you need may not be available nearby. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to experienced therapists who offer counseling services across a broad range of specialties and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your personal needs. And because strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for busy professionals, over-scheduled parents, and even swamped students at local Lake Forest College. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home.
If you live in the Cedar Park area and have been thinking about focusing on your well-being, therapy can help. Contact BetterHelp to get started, or check out the list of local online-based therapists below.

Hello there, my name is Crystal Dungan, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a masters in Community Counseling from Webster University.

Currently I have the privilege of working with the military and their families focusing on short term solution based counseling; working with individuals or focusing on couples counseling. My approach to counseling is some what laid back, I like my client to feel relaxed and at ease, to feel as if they are having a conversation with a friend. I still maintain professional boundaries, but try to remove any anxiety that comes with receiving any new services. My style is very flexible and I will do my best to tailor my approach to best suit your needs. This is my life's passion and I look forward to sharing that experience with you.

My what (short bio): I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2013 with a Master of Science in Education and am currently working towards my Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership. As a Therapist, Company Culture Cultivator, and Leadership Development Facilitator, I work to support others in living the lives they desire. This intersection of professional development & job training and an individual’s happiness & life satisfaction is the focus of my current studies. It is my hope that not only will our personal but also our professional lives, will create an environment that allows us to not simply survive but thrive. My Why: I always thought I would climb the corporate ladder. Yet as my life progressed, I constantly found myself providing support for what was stressing and distressing those around me. I enrolled at UPenn to learn more about people and the human condition. I found that we are more alike than we think, capable of more than we try, and more courageous than we know. It is my goal to help all of my clients identify the lives they desire to lead and support them in living that life. My How: My sessions are CBT-based with a few other ideologies sprinkled in. It is my belief if we can gain awareness of our thoughts, we can better identify our feelings then we are able to choose our actions. I give my clients homework and use our sessions to reflect on present situations impacting their lives. We occasionally discuss the past and how it is impacting the present, after all, we are the sum of our experiences. To ignore the past is to ignore the foundation our life was built on. The two quotes below do a great job of capturing my thoughts on therapy and its impact on our lives. “Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced,” - James Baldwin “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking”. – Albert Einstein Learn more about me at www.JtheTherapist.com
