Therapists in Terrell Hills, TX
Terrell Hills, Texas eventually grew into the vision of small, rural town living after a group of six families and three bachelors settled the land in 1919. It was the town that almost didn’t exist after a failed attempt by the city of San Antonio to annex Terrell Hills into its borders. By 1939, the town found its footing and became legally incorporated in 1939. Perhaps, your emotions are getting the best of you lately and you feel like you’ve lost your mental health footing.

Hello! My name is Kathleen (Kathie), and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in private practice as well as 15 years of experience as a school counselor in Texas high school and junior high. I have dedicated my counseling practice to help youth and parents in their relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, adjustment to change, as a well as academics and career concerns. Much of my experience focuses also on the acute needs of those in crisis. Although I was born and raised in Texas, I have had many life experiences that have given me the opportunity to learn and appreciate people in very different situations and cultures. After graduating high school in Texas, I spent a year in the Netherlands (Holland) as a Foreign Exchange Student where I learned a new language and assimilated into the Dutch culture. I then returned to the United States and graduated from Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State University. After seven years of teaching in several culturally diverse areas of Texas, such as South Texas, San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston area school districts, my interest in collaboratively helping people work through their emotional and mental health issues to improve their relationships and quality of life became an important life goal. As a result, I earned my Masters degree in Education with a major in Counseling at Tarleton State University in 2008. Since clients are the experts on their lives, my direction for therapy is client centered. Clients determine the direction and depth of therapy while I determine what treatment modalities would work best for the client to accomplish their treatment goals. I have studied Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) that will help us as a team examine the overestimation of risk and the underestimation of the ability to cope when dealing with anxiety and depression. I understand and have experience with counseling youth concerning relationships, anxiety, depression, academics, and careers, as well as helping parents evaluate their own life experiences and guide them to explore the help they may need for their own lives. Outside of my work as a therapist and school counselor, I like to practice yoga, sew, and support my kids in their endeavors. I also enjoy reading, hiking, and traveling to new places. My work hours vary. Generally, Live Session are availalbe Monday- Friday after 4:00. I also work some weekends, offering Saturday morning and Sunday evening appointments.

Welcome! I always tell clients it is equally important for them to get to know me as much as I do them before therapy begins . Honesty and transparency are valuable in therapy, and I know it sets the foundation for a working therapist-client relationship. To begin, I have been a bilingual (English-Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for the past 14 years and have worked in a variety of settings including private practice, local mental health agencies, hospitals, and university settings. I have experience in helping clients with depression, postpartum depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and women related issues especially motherhood. I specialize in targeting family of origin issues which means I find it valuable to understand where patterns and habits in your life may come from and the life experiences that may also still impact you today. I use a solution focused and narrative therapy approach, always seeking client strengths and personal successes to help them write the next chapter in their life. I have helped clients of all ages including individuals, couples, and families. I earned a Doctorate of Philosophy in Family Therapy in 2018 from Texas Woman's University and I earned a Master's of Science in Professional Counseling from Texas Wesleyan University in 2006. My therapy style is warm and collaborative. I know the importance of being culturally sensitive and treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I listen to every person's unique story as if I am hearing it for the first time, and so that I can tailor our work and treatment goals to meet your specific needs. I believe that you are the expert of your story and though you may be feeling momentarily stuck, I know that together we can find ways to fulfill your best hopes. Thank you for confidently taking the first step and I look forward to being a small part of your journey!

Welcome. I’m Rhonda Palmer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience, licensed in Missouri, Texas, and Arizona. I support clients navigating anxiety, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, neurodivergent experiences (including autism and ADHD), and more. As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and Autism Spectrum Clinical Specialist, I care deeply about walking with people as they build resilience, release old patterns, and reconnect with their most authentic selves. I believe healing happens in connection but it also requires presence, honesty, and a willingness to grow through the hard stuff, not just around it. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and real. Therapy with me isn’t about being “good” or getting it “right.” It’s about showing up as you are, messy, imperfect, honest, and ready to build something that’s real, grounded, and sustainable for you. There’s no need to meet anyone’s expectations or fit into a mold. Instead, we work together to create a space that feels safe, where you can explore your truth and grow at your own pace. I work best with clients who are open to reflection, accountability, and meaningful change. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself to feel safe or accepted, I want you to know that therapy can be different. This space is for people who are ready to engage in the work of healing honestly and with curiosity, not for performance or perfection. I welcome people who may have masked their truth, questioned their worth, or felt out of place in systems not built for them. I don’t view autism or ADHD as flaws to be fixed but as valid, valuable, and deeply human ways of experiencing the world. In our work together, I’ll meet you with care and curiosity while also supporting the kind of change that doesn’t come from quick fixes. I draw from evidence based practices like CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Solution Focused Therapy. I’m also training in Brainspotting, a powerful body based approach for emotional healing especially when words don’t quite reach it. Therapy with me isn’t about being “good” or getting it “right.” It’s about building something honest and sustainable. I offer a space rooted in mutual respect, emotional safety, and the belief that you already hold the wisdom you need, and that we’re just finding it together. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” — Albert Einstein “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” — Nelson Mandela If you’re ready for this kind of work, I welcome you.
