Life Coaching Therapists in 78209

I have a strong belief in each person's ability to "heal" and help themselves with the assistance and empowerment of counseling. I provide a safe, professional, and understanding environment for you to explore your situation and make the necessary changes to improve your quality of life. I have an eclectic style with the majority of my training being in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This style allows me the flexibility of approaching each person in the way that fits them best. I love seeing the improvement clients can make, especially using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Welcome, I am glad you landed here. I’m Eloise Guggolz, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Nationally Certified Counselor and Certified Life and Health Coach. My goal is to assist my clients to find inner strength by cultivating a healthy mindset and body allowing more ease in facing challenges in difficult life transitions. If you are experiencing trouble navigating through relationship difficulties, stress, fear of change, body image, disordered eating and or anxiety, I’d like to offer you my counsel and work with you to put you on a path where you feel empowered, at peace and able to make positive changes.

***Accepting new clients during day, evening, and weekends.*** Life's journey can be quite challenging and difficult to manage. You may have strong emotions but may not know what to do or say to solve your problem. Therapy can help to sort through these overwhelming issues. I use a strengths-based collaborative approach to assist you in being mindful and authentic in exploring your strengths and abilities for growth, and developing ways to work through life's challenges. I work with all ages, adults, adolescents and children, in individual, couples or family counseling. Adolescents are of special interest to me.

I provide counseling and coaching for those seeking personal growth, finding life direction, reaching goals, resolving issues, and moving forward in life. I work closely with those evaluating life, relationships, education, or career changes. I am a Certified Life Coach and hold multiple licenses: Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Approved Supervisor for LPC, LMFT, & LCSW's. Authored: "Marriage Vampire-Living with a Narcissist" (on Amazon), "The Narcissist: When Dreams Become Nightmares" plus other Amazon publications at FullerLifePublishing.

First, I would like to highlight your level of strength in making the decision to initiate change in your life. Finding the right person to help you through life's challenges is important and can be an overwhelming process. I want to provide you with some information about me in order to help you decide if my clinical experience and approach is the right match for you.

Are you ready to make peace with your past? Perhaps you've recognized patterns in relationships, behaviors, or thoughts that are repeating. Maybe it feels like there's so much noise inside you can't seem to make sense of life outside. Are you feeling lonely or disconnected from your self? Balance and peace is possible. The kaleidoscope of your life can come back into view as we walk together and navigate your internal system with a sense of curiosity and compassion, bringing positive and lasting change. I operate from an integrative approach using a combination of evidence based practice and energetic modalities.

I love what I do.....I have been doing it for 28 years.....I am the kind of therapist that understands the value of psychotherapy because I have been a client at different times in my life. I know that we all need a safe place to talk, in which confidentiality is as important as feeling accepted. I love working with clients that are dealing with a variety of anxiety disorders as well as people with self esteem issues including people that seems to have a need to please others. I am passionate about Integrative Breathwork and Transpersonal Psychology in which we explore the needs of the mind body and spirit. Fluent in Spanish.

As a psychologist, I specialize in working with bright and motivated men and women in their 30s and 40s who have come to a point of needing help but are wisely insisting on help from the right match. Whatever your presenting problem might be, my experience suggests the right help is someone who can: show they understand your problem; skillfully guide your self-exploration; consult on learning in your edges of growth; and project a course for how your work might proceed. Finding the right help may be the most important task of therapy. If what I've suggested here resonates with you, we might could be a good match together.

Life can be a full-contact sport. Your heart can get trampled. And your mind forgets it is your servant....and becomes the master of worry. Frustration engulfs your efforts to negotiate life and fear sets up permanent residency. I find that's when people tolerate a lot...when they get stuck. Stuck in life. I have a Ph.D. in Counseling, licensed in the State of Texas as well as Nationally. I am a researcher in Emotional Intelligence and have taught in the counseling graduate programs at The University of Texas at San Antonio and St. Mary's University.

My training as a healer began with my own in-depth psychotherapy. Subsequently, I have worked with adults, teens and kids in the areas of substance and sexual abuse, depression and anxiety, fear and grief. I attended a six months professional training program in DreamTending at Pacifica Graduate Institute where I deepened my understanding of archetypal medicine and indigenous methods of healing through the use of dreams and all that surrounds us in the natural world. My approach is holistic, helping my clients integrate mind, body and spirit.

You can expect from Shannyn that your “entire self” is welcomed into a space and she will work somatically with what you bring to unpack, patterns to ease out of and the wounded places to be respected, handled with care, and skillful clinical attention and presence provided. Shannyn works from a vast framework incorporating traditional clinical practices as well as somatic experiencing, mindfulness and intersectional/social justice models. Addressing the impact of oppression a person experiences throughout life is also central to healing. It is in the mind AND body that dis.ease occurs and takes hold.

“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ Therapist, I can help you overcome stress, anxiety and depression by helping you change negative and unhelpful thinking patterns, self-destructive behaviors, unhealthy habits, accept uncomfortable feelings , improve your relationships, and work through issues difficult to manage alone.

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

Kiddos, teens, and young adults are my jam. I understand family conflict, struggles with social interactions, anxiety, depression, and all the things that these age groups have to face, especially in a world that doesn't seem to be kind and understanding of their obstacles and needs, almost dismissing their experiences as undeserving of being taken seriously. These youth are seeking to find their place in the world and feel confident and worthy of moving through life with the love and respect they deserve. They're eager to learn more about themselves and make sense of the world around them and becoming self empowered in the process.

I am a psychologist with thirty-years of experience as a therapist, educator, and group facilitator. I work via tele-health. I am licensed in Texas and New York. I received my degrees from New York University and Long Island University and then moved to Texas years ago to work with active duty servicemembers. Currently, I work in private practice and I specialize in ADHD coaching, Depression, PTSD, Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome, Psychedelic Plant Medicine Integration, Interior Design Consultation, and Racial/Cultural Identity.

Life can get tough and overwhelming. It can feel like being submerged after a rough wave. That’s where I come in - to help you navigate the waves. As a solution-orientated therapist I am interested in exploring your strengths and resources and how we can utilize them to build solutions. I believe a positive connection is important for the therapeutic process to be beneficial, which is why I value creating a safe space built on collaboration, warmth, and understanding.

We all experience pain, stress, fears and heartache in life. These feelings are unpleasant, but they help us reach out to learn better ways. Better ways to relax, let go, communicate, teach, love, and live with joy and freedom. I have helped others for 24 years to find their power, to feel, live and love better. It is my purpose and my passion. If you and/or someone you care about is stuck, hurting, addicted or anxious, I can help. I am in recovery myself, so there is no judgement. I understand. Call me for a free phone consultation. If I am in session, leave your number and I will call you back.

Let me guess… you’ve tried therapy before but it didn’t “take.” Or… you’ve tried therapy and all you did was talk for an hour straight while somebody nodded at you, which left you wondering why you were even there in the first place. You’ll notice that most therapy gets caught up asking about your emotions; the proverbial “and how does that make you feel?” Then it’s typical to get caught up in an endless reaction loop, worrying about your emotions and where “they” are going to take you next. But consider this: what if it has nothing to do with your emotions? What if it has to do with your thinking?

If we are to live into our potential and experience lives that are meaningful to us, it is helpful to gain insight into where we feel blocked and what needs to happen to move us closer to our authentic self. As a psychotherapist and certified psychoanalyst, I can often help you on this journey. There are many reasons why we seek individual or couple therapy. Understanding ourselves better seems to be reason enough. But for some this decision comes when we are at a particularly difficult moment in life--a death, divorce, relationship concerns, retirement or any situation which may constellate strong feelings.
