Welcome! My name is Gerri and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. Counseling is my passion and it’s something I always wanted to do. I have about 3 years’ experience which include working in many settings, such as individual, group and family counseling. Some areas of my expertise include domestic violence, relationships, anger, anxiety, stress, co-dependency, drug/alcohol addiction, adoption, trauma, and abuse. There is no trouble too small or too big, it’s all important. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me. I use all theories in counseling. It all depends on my client for which direction to go. If we need to focus on the past, present or prepare for the future, I will be supporting. Sometimes counseling can be difficult, and it might be uncomfortable or painful, but I will always be supporting through the whole process. My goal is to be the passenger and the client be the driver. I plan to be there every turn we make, even in the difficult turns. I am here for you, even if it’s just to let something out. My goal is to be the strength you need to become a better you. I plan to support you, and to encourage you to become more confident. My success is a better you! I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I'm Patrick. I'm the father of two, so when I'm not counseling I'm either spending time with my kids or I'm engaging in one of several hobbies that provide enjoyment or help me cope with stress. Besides being a book and movie nerd, I like to write essays, stories and poetry, play guitar, train for 5K runs and occasionally travel or go camping. I've practiced counseling as a therapist, as an educator and as a crisis specialist. Although my degree is from the University of North Texas, I've learned much of my current set of skills from the experience of counseling clients and through specific training and workshops aimed at improving myself professionally. As a therapist, I tend to be very relaxed, coming alongside clients to help them at situations that feel like dead ends or like they are in a fog with no clear direction in sight. With people, one size usually does not fit all, so I like to have a variety of techniques available to assist them. Sometimes a path can be made clear simply by sorting through thoughts with someone, but often situatons are more complex with more variables in play, such as with addiction, feelings of uncontrollable anger, trauma that seems to overwhelm or something that feels more physical like sexual dysfunction. My starting point is usually listening to try to wrap my mind around a client's story and then I work alongside my client to see if our combined efforts and experience can help them go forward. I bring to the table training in anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder, anger management, communication, boundaries, sexual issues, spiritual abuse, grief and consciousness growth.

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

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

While many psychologists in Tom Bean 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 do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Tom Bean?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Tom Bean 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 Tom Bean therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

A Tom Bean therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support.

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

Before seeing your Tom Bean 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. Tom Bean 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 Tom Bean 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 Tom Bean 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 Tom Bean, 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.

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.
