"Hello! Sometimes life presents us with challenges that are hard to navigate on our own. This is where therapy can help. Together we can work towards creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where healing and growth can take place. I treat adults in my practice, working with various issues including depression, anxiety, loss of a loved one, trauma, life transitions, and relational issues."

"Seeking help can be overwhelming and takes courage to reach out; therefore, I welcome you to this experience. I have worked with people from different backgrounds and issues through their life-span. If you currently need help with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and/or grief I hope my approach is a good match for your needs. I focus on helping individuals reach goals by using their strengths and skills that fit their worldview. I speak Spanish and I am culturally sensitive to diversity and complexity individuals identified within their lives. Email me and we will have a conversation to help identify your needs. "

"Feeling discouraged? Counseling can help when things get rough. I work with adults, teenagers, couples, and families who are ready to feel joy again. Counseling isn't supposed to be a dreadful process. Think of therapy as the opportunity to finally make those changes, finally learn how to communicate, or finally gain control over your fears. Together we can roll up our sleeves and get you back on track. Through work and motivation, you can reach your goals."

"I will be honored to walk with you on your path to mindful purpose, and passion for your life activities. Utilizing your distinct strengths can help you find satisfaction, self-compassion and peace. Your career- which may include professional work, the work of parenting, relationship care, or a interest / hobby that accompanies a practical occupation, is something you can craft with tools developed in our conversations."

"I specialize in adult mental health and have practiced in a variety of clinical settings throughout my career. These settings range from inpatient acute care hosptials to outpatient community based counseling centers. I have extensive knowledge of the managed care industry and feel this has enhanced my patient advocacy skills, increasing my ability to help members navigate today's complex health care system. I consider myself to be a generalist who enjoys working with a variety of issues and people.."

"I work with people not diagnoses. First and foremost I want my clients to know that they are not on their own. I first began to study counseling psychology because I enjoy helping people. When a person comes into my office it is usually because they are in need of help. Through the use of various psychological techniques I strive to assist those who seek to find what they are looking for. I also offer HIPPA compliant video counseling for convenience."

"Because our pain and scars usually occur within relationships, healing begins within a caring, trusting therapeutic relationship. As layers of hurt are uncovered, understood and processed, and new tools are learned and practiced, clients make better decisions, keep healthier boundaries and enjoy more meaningful relationships."

"I enjoy working with adults and teens. You come to therapy with a variety of goals and dreams, and with problems and blocks. I am skilled in prioritizing these, identifying which tools work best for you in your situation, and coming up with a plan to address them with you thoughtfully. Sometimes we will work "in the now" to explore how you are experiencing life in order to make changes. Sometimes we will dip into the past to acknowledge the roots of current patterns in order to have resolution and peace. I can recommend exercises or other tools you can use outside the sessions."

"Hello and welcome, I am happy that you are considering making some positive changes in your life. The first step to solving an issue is recognizing that there is one. That can be difficult and overwhelming and supportive psychotherapy can help. I work with individuals, couples, and families needing help through life transitions. Learning new skills and ways of thinking can assist in personal growth and joy. As your therapist, we would work together towards achieving goals in a supportive, nonjudgmental and nurturing setting."

"The initial decision to call a therapist can be a difficult one. It can be hard to imagine feeling and functioning better in your daily life or accepting a "new normal." However, better is possible! I provide a judgement free environment to affirm your strengths. I can help you learn to mitigate problematic behaviors, beliefs, thoughts and feelings, ultimately leading to improved coping skills, better relationships, and better overall mental wellness. I treat adults with anxiety, depression, grief & loss, PTSD, and other distressing life events."

"I believe that every person has the ability to heal and that power comes from within. I work with individuals and families to help them find peace and strength. I have experience working with women, men and children who have experienced traumatic life events. Depression and anxiety - sadness and fear - are areas that I help clients gain power over symptoms to find peace within. A philosophy that I use to guide my approach is this: in life pain is inevitable, suffering, however, is not. If you are suffering know that help exists in the form of compassionate and caring counseling."

"I enjoy working with clients who wish to develop awareness of the messages that they have internalized and the patterns that have become self-limiting and dysfunctional. I assist them in learning to become more intentional regarding their choices on the way to navigating toward greater self-realization, healthier relationships, and enhanced life satisfaction. I also enjoy working with couples who wish to gain insight into all that they bring to their relationship, to enhance trust and intimacy, and to learn to communicate respectfully and with compassion for each other."

"The mind has a funny way of keeping us emotionally safe when we experience pain and hurt in our lives. At times we may do things that seem appropriate and true to what we feel, but only later do we often realize that our actions have not only hurt ourselves but also the ones we love. Oftentimes, have you felt that you just are going through the motions of your life and aren't able to have meaningful connections with those around you, but are unsure of how to change."

"**Accepting new clients beginning April 1, 2019**"

"I enjoy working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and/or relationship problems. I work to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment in which to help people make positive changes in their lives. My approach is personalized to meet each client's individual needs and draws on cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems theories. I enjoy working with people from varied cultures and religions."

"I am a licensed professional counselor in private practice in Round Rock. My services include individual therapy with children, adolescents, and adults, as well as family therapy. I have an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing upon various aspects of different treatment methods to best meet my client's needs. I am also experienced in play therapy with children, utilizing play to help communicate and understand experiences from a child's perspective."

"*Currently accepting new clients* Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, loneliness, or grief? Do you feel "stuck" in life? Are your relationships weighing you down rather than building you up? You have taken a brave and difficult step—you have acknowledged that there is a problem. As your therapist, we develop a safe, trusting, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. I have a holistic, client-centered, intuitive and direct approach. Having battled my own anxiety and depression, I use many techniques that have been helpful on my own journey, including mindfulness-based tools, CBT, and relational psychotherapy. "

"Riverstone Counseling, located in Round Rock, Texas, is the professional counseling practice of Michael Bonner, MA, LPC-S. I work with individuals, couples, and families. We all know life can be hard, and sometimes we need help navigating the ebb and flow of life's changes. My hope is to come alongside my clients and assist them with life-changing options. Many times folks go to a counselor, talk about their issues, and make no real progress. There is definitely value in voicing problems, and healing takes time. But along the way, you should be experiencing - and celebrating - small successes."

"I believe both in the power of individual choice and the importance of relationships and family. When one person makes changes in their choices, behaviors, and ways of coping; it can elicit changes in how others react and relate to you. I believe that clients have the right to choose options that they can live with and I respect that change can be a slow process. Counseling is about discovery of yourself; who you are, and how you relate to others. It is also about mourning losses, celebrating memories and finding peace in your world."

"Real change happens when behaviors change. Together we collaborate to determine what you want to achieve. I support you by providing ongoing guidance and structure in a confidential, safe, and relaxing setting. In order to promote the counseling profession, I also provide counseling supervision services to interns entering the profession. I am always happy to discuss counseling goals and supervision options with LPC-Interns."
