Many people have found that therapy offers them the non-judgemental space and practical guidance they need to invest in meaningful change and self-improvement. Mental health professionals provide a wide range of counseling services. They use their professional experience to help clients manage mental health conditions, overcome life’s challenges, and take proactive steps toward personal growth. 

Therapists can help clients tackle almost any threat to their mental and emotional well-being. They might need help managing mental health conditions, feel stuck in their current circumstances, or are trying to overcome traumatic past experiences. Some clients don’t have trouble managing threats to their mental health but still seek therapy to learn proactive strategies for self-improvement. Whatever brings you to therapy, a licensed professional will likely be able to provide support, encouragement, and guidance. 

In addition to working with individuals, many therapists work with couples and families to help address concerns that affect family units and romantic relationships. They might help caregivers co-parent in peace following a divorce, help a couple restore a meaningful connection, or help parents manage their child’s behavior issues that may have developed due to complex conditions that affect development, like autism spectrum disorder. Therapists can also help families who undergo regular adversity, like military families, who often experience instability beyond what is typical for most.  

If you’re ready to start working with a therapist, Schertz, TX, has many professionals to choose from. Mental health providers are also available in nearby communities like Garden Ridge and New Braunfels. It may also be worthwhile to consider online therapy, which allows you to attend sessions from home. Online therapists have the same credentials and licensure as in-person therapists and use the same evidence-based techniques. The mental health providers listed below all offer services to Schertz and the surrounding community. You might consider examining their profiles to get a sense of their training and experience. You can also see reviews from other clients, who may offer more insight into how they practice therapy.

Greetings. I want to congratulate you on taking the first step towards recovery. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas.

You have taken the first step on that path to a better future and I commend you on that bold action. I am ready to work with you and walk the path with you. I wish you a happy and healthy recovery.

Greetings! Resilience, in us, is crucial when faced with day to day challenges. To a certain degree, this resilience carries us through the toughest of times. For some, resilience has somewhat become dormant, to a point that it has manifested itself to making you feel "stuck." This feeling, may have you saying to yourself that there is no way out. I'm here to say that there is a way out.. There is always a way out of this being "stuck" feeling. My counseling approach is that YOU are the expert of your life! You will dictate how your journey goes. I have found that every individual is unique in their own way. Therefore, my approach is integrative and I incorporate different life strategies and therapeutic techniques to assist and empower you to find solutions towards your well being. My goal is to be that tool that guides you to finding or restoring the resilience needed to overcome whatever obstacle or challenge life throws at you while at the same time giving you the tools to make the necessary changes in your life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been in the field of mental health for over thirty two years. I have worked in an acute inpatient unit with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have also been a behavioral consultant at my local school district and a school counselor for at risk students ages ten - eighteen. In addition to working in a hospital/clinical and educational setting, I also work in private practice. I know that asking and receiving this kind of help still carries a certain stigma in many cultures and populations. However, let this be the day that you begin a process of new beginnings. Taking care of your mental well being is just as important as taking care of your physical well being. Hope to hear from you soon!
