Therapists in 78249

I am a clinical psychologist with 16 years experience providing services to adults, children, and adolescents in a multitude of settings including outpatient clinics, inpatient hospitals, community mental health clinics, adolescent residential treatment centers, correctional facilities, schools, and military installations. I have held leadership roles such as operating a military-specific unit of a private inpatient psychiatric hospital. Additionally, I was the director of a university Psychology Clinic and many of my roles have included supervising counseling and psychology students.

I am Licensed Psychologist providing services to clients in Texas, Iowa, and PSYPACT participating states. I began working with adults, children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals of diverse backgrounds as a Master’s Level Clinician in 2012 and have done so since.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples and families deal with the difficulties and challenges life sometimes presents us with. These may include situations related to transitions in life, unexpected events, feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress, difficulties in communication, and conflict in relationships, among other issues. I view life as a journey -specifically, a learning journey- with all its ups and downs.

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.

My ideal client is someone whose passion for health and mental wellness matches my own. I truly enjoy finding out more about what makes others think and act the way they do, and I believe each session is a journey where you get to travel with the other person and discover the reasons and solutions to each and every problem they may be facing. Ideally, the client will be willing to look at themselves in an honest and candid manner and be comfortable with me doing the same, so that they can grow and discover their inner power and inner strengths and use those to build themselves into the strongest version of themselves they can be!

I provide individual and couples therapy to older adolescents and adults. My approach to therapy mainly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have additional training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). While I tend to draw from CBT, I incorporate other styles and techniques to tailor each session to meet the needs of each person I work with. I believe the most important and healing aspect of therapy is the relationship that is created between myself and the person sitting across from me.

I believe that we are created with potential for balance and harmony, however, life is not always easy, we may struggle at times to reach this balance. When we get "stuck" or face difficult challenges, we must first identify which areas of life need adjusting or strengthening, and then, we set out to make the necessary changes. Whether it is physical, emotional, spiritual or mental unbalance, we can positively impact our lives by starting to work in one area, and, since they are all connected, the rest will follow. The mind-body connection is undeniable, research and science favor an integrated approach to behavioral health.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages. I am often referred adolescents who are involved in the Juvenile Justice System. I am qualified to provide sexual education and guidance to all ages within the framework of their family, community, and religious beliefs. I give parents guidance in helping them to navigate through the courts and their children's schools while offering advice and additional resources. I provide psychotherapy for people struggling with family or personal issues. I am available daytime and early evening hours.

You are not a diagnosis. You are an individual that just wants to have your brain be sharper; be calmer; or having your child have a better experience in school. My clients are tired of medications and want to see more permanent improvements in their daily lives. ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression....almost everything that stems from the brain benefits from neurofeedback. Adults who feel "foggy", unmotivated and chaotic, use this therapy to optimize their brain. My clients are generally between 7 and 75 years of age. They have sleep issues, chronic stress or may not engage with others well. I can help you.

First of all, I'm already proud of you for getting this far. I know how intimidating getting the ball rolling on therapy can be so the fact that you're even looking into it, speaks so much about your readiness to better yourself and your life! I treat depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, major life changes, relationship issues, and chronic illness. I view all clients as the driver of their own lives while I sit in the passenger seat to guide. I will assist you by collaboratively setting therapy goals, instilling empowerment, and equipping you with the tools needed to sustain long-term progress.

I provide services for clients who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems with my assistance. I assist my clients in exploring and resolving difficult life issues. I use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and provide structured sessions to maximize time and assist in meeting therapeutic goals identified in first session. I approach therapy as a working relationship between client and therapist.

Accepting Clients for Mornings and Early Afternoons (before 4:00 PM only). Hi, I'm Natalie! Are you having issues staying on task? Do you have trouble concentrating due to life events that you fee are out of your control? I support adolescent teens, adults and the elder population with multiple different issues who are in need of some type of support in managing issues such as these. Clients will receive the tools necessary to achieve goals of overcoming these issues, and learning how to manage themselves in a way that will increase a more positive outlook for the future.

You might be anxious, dreading each day, stuck, and angry carrying pain and trauma and really wanting to find a way to be free of memories, shame, and panic attacks so you can live your best life. You might question how others seem to get life “right” because their social media posts don't look anything like how you feel. Relationships are suffering, and you don't want to pass these feelings on to those you love. You want to be free, confident, happy, and at peace with who you are as a person and the future that is yours yet to live.

I am a native Texan who served in the U.S. Army for 21 years as a Mental Health Specialist and a Special Forces Medical Sergeant. Additionally, I have served as Federal investigator with U.S. Department of Labor (OSHA). Having served in the military and federal civilian workforce I personally understand the stresses that effect our lives and the lives of our children and loved ones.

Since 2007, I've been working as a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping people cope with their issues and concerns. Many clients merely need assistance in gaining insight, direction, self-compassion and developing practical coping skills to manage stress. In this journey, I strive to walk alongside clients with mercy and wisdom to help achieve self-actualization and goals.
