“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” - - Brene’ Brown Hello there!! You have made a courageous step towards positive change and growth!! I sincerely believe that all beings have an innate need for connection. A connection not only to others but to yourself is necessary for optimal living. The therapeutic relationship is a space where exploration and curiosity can support your journey of reconnecting with self and others. As a counselor, I believe that every person is unique and worthy of unconditional acceptance. Providing support towards a client’s sense of wholeness is my goal. Authenticity and trust can prove to be a caveat in aiding you as you increase self-awareness, process feelings, identify and practice new approaches to existing problems or concerns, gain insight and to find healing and empowerment. You will find me to be passionate about helping people work through barriers to create the relationships and lives that they desire and to develop a sense of personal strength and self-acceptance. I celebrate and welcome the diversity of all clients and strive to create an affirming, inclusive and non-judgmental space in which you can explore your individual needs and therapeutic goals. I am KaShunda (Shun) Davis, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I've been a mental health therapist for 6 years serving in community counseling centers and private counseling serving teens, adults, and couples. Examples of concerns/issues that I’ve supported clients through include anxiety & stress management, depression, self-esteem & self-acceptance, coping skills; sexuality, gender identity and LGBTQIA+ concerns; relationship issues and career transitions My therapeutic style is integrative in nature and provides an emotionally safe space that supports insight, self-exploration, concerns, emotions and achieve healthy goals. Our work together will involve exploring the connections between your thoughts, emotions and behaviors; open dialogue, focusing on your strengths and values, integrating mindfulness techniques and implementing effective coping skills and practices both during and in between sessions that can better equip you to handle life’s challenges as they arise. I look forward to working with you, Shun

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas. I have been practicing since 1995, most of this time in Community Mental Health Programs. I have worked with many issues of concern to my clients, ranging from serious mental illness to life choices. I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, elderly individuals, couples and groups. In 2005, I opened my private practice and kept it open full time until 2020. During the pandemic, my clientele reduced due to my choosing to begin telehealth sessions instead of face-to-face sessions. I am residing in a smaller city and most of the population is not comfortable with tele-health so I decided to continue at a reduced capacity as long as possible. In early 2021, I accepted the vaccine in an effort to revive my practice but became ill due to complications. I stopped practicing for approximately 3 months, until I could be sure that I was feeling well enough to provide my clients with the services they deserved. In December 2021, I tested positive with the virus and became very ill. I am now practicing through Better Help rather than begin my solo private practice again. I am competent in the use of Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Client-Centered, and Transpersonal therapies. I specifically focus on hypnotherapy, meditation, and inner child support in the Transpersonal therapies. Each of these therapies are used based on the treatment plan which is derived from the problems or concerns that the client defines as their choice for treatment and the goal they wish to reach. In working with couples, the goal is to enhance healing independently and interdependently. I believe that we are attracted to someone who fits like a lock and key with ourselves. This engages our personal issues so that our significant other becomes the rock upon which we break ourselves and then heal through positive communication techniques, compromise and negotiation. I believe that each person is unique and the path for growth of each person can only be determined by themselves, or jointly, for couples. My role in the support of my clients is to lend them my knowledge, feedback and guidance as they grow through the process of the journey. Each client has the right to self-determination and respect and can refuse any treatment suggestion without fear of consequences. I am honored to assist you in your choice of becoming the best version of yourself, and, if appropriate, as a union of two creating a separate identity while maintaining each individually.

Hello! I have a bachelors in Psychology and a Masters of Education in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Although most of my experience revolves around helping teens, I have had great experiences working with adults. I have helped lead an anger management group for court appointed adults. I have helped adults in their grief journey, marital struggles, depression, anxiety, and a variety of problems and struggles we encounter in life. I hope to broaden the amount of help I can provide, and with me, you will find someone who is ready to support you, challenge you, and guide you through whatever you are facing.

Hi, I'm Monica, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree in Education specializing in School Counseling. I obtained my degree in 2015 and fulfilled the necessary requirements to become an LPC, allowing me to practice as a therapist. After my children graduated from high school, I decided to focus on my career as a therapist. Throughout my years as a school counselor, I discovered a deep sense of fulfillment in blending clinical work with individuals and groups, community outreach, program development, and evaluation. I found great joy in guiding the healing and growth of children, especially pre-teens, adolescents, teachers, and young adults. Building strong therapeutic relationships is at the core of my practice, and I approach each session with a trauma-responsive and non-judgmental mindset. I have worked with individuals of various ages who have encountered stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, life changes, grief, and trauma. I believe in meeting people where they are and tailoring my approach to suit their specific needs. My counseling license is issued by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, and my license number is LPC #79150. I have actively contributed to the counseling profession and previously served on the Board of Directors for the Texas Counseling Association. Currently, I hold the position of President-Elect for Texas Counselors for Social Justice, which reflects my dedication to promoting social justice and equality within the counseling field. Outside of my professional life, I cherish spending quality time with my parents, family, and friends in Houston. I am the proud owner of a therapy dog named Dakota, whom I plan to incorporate into my face-to-face therapy sessions. I have a passion for traveling, cooking, and simply enjoying the companionship of my dog. I am excited to continue my journey as a therapist, helping individuals navigate life's challenges and empowering them to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Understanding the type of therapy you'd like to search for is crucial before finding a therapist or psychologist in Hawkins.

Regardless of their licensure, they are trained able to treat individuals and couples counseling, and sometimes children, in any type of therapy in the Hawkins region and in the state of Texas. Find a therapist under any of these distinctions and know that the sessions they offer can provide a safe place to heal.

A mental health counselor working through their own in-person therapy practice in Hawkins or online may assist clients in improving healthy relationships, communication skills, working through life transitions, couples counseling, managing a mood disorder, improving coping skills, self help tips, offer life coaching, family therapy, or change in negative thinking patterns.

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

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

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Hawkins therapist?

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 Hawkins 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:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Hawkins 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 therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks). 

How is a licensed therapist on this Hawkins online therapy platform verified?

All of these psychology clinicians have a Masters Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field of psychology sciences, and follow the APA Code of Ethics. Therapists have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, therapists here all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Hawkins?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Hawkins therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Hawkins therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Hawkins therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in TX, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 75765 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Hawkins counselor?

Before seeing your Hawkins therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Hawkins therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Hawkins licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Hawkins counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Hawkins, Texas can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Hawkins has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
