New Boston in Bowie County is the quintessential picture of a small American town fiercely proud of its American roots, history and culture. Made up of less than 4,700 residents, it’s town with strong community ties, annual events like the Miss New Boston Pageant, Pioneer Days Festivals and the Christmas Parade only serve to strengthen those ties.

But for some people a quiet, remote life removed from the hustle and bustle of a bigger city can be psychologically upsetting or difficult to adjust to. It can feel isolating, lonely and overwhelming. Get in touch with a mental health professional in your area to discuss your mental health and the symptoms you are exhibiting. The sooner you seek treatment and address your concerns, the sooner you can get back to enjoying a happy, fulfilling life.

My name is Elizabeth Ivey, but I go by Liz. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in domestic violence, sexual assault, trauma, anxiety, depression, teens, and parenting skills. I graduated with my bachelors (2013) and a masters in Clinical and Counseling Psychology (2015) from Midwestern State University. I volunteered and worked for many years at a local shelter helping people find and rebuild themselves. I use a person-centered and eclectic approach in sessions; meaning meeting a client where the are and tailoring the approach to meet their individual needs. To reach these needs I primarily use evidence based techniques including humanistic, cognitive-processing therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling (a.k.a. asking a lot of questions and insisting on self exploration). I believe in working with the client to achieve their goals moving at a speed that works for them. Just as we all learn to read at our own pace, we also learn how to fight and deal with our inner struggles the same way. My mission is to empower those I work with in a supportive and motivated way. I often tell my clients “This is your journey, you know where you want to go, but it is useful to have a tour guide pointing things out along the way.” and that’s my job.

Hello! My name is Martha and I am an LPC licensed in the state of Texas. I have a Master of Science degree in Psychology from Texas Wesleyan University(2007). My experience in the mental health field is over 17 years consisting of case management, crisis intervention, counseling, psychiatric emergency room assessments and diagnosis. I would describe my counseling style as one of being caring, compassionate, trustworthy, genuine and ethical. My favorite therapeutic approaches are Person-centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and feel that they lend themselves well to helping with most issues. I believe that it's very important to allow you to learn and identify the skills you need to work on the issues you are experiencing throughout therapy sessions and long after therapy sessions end. My hope for you is that you will feel comfortable discussing any topics of concern and that you are able to gain the knowledge you need to help you through this time in your life. I look forward to working with you and thank you for putting your trust in me!
