Have you not been feeling like yourself lately? Are there some bothersome thoughts and feelings that are limiting you and holding you back from living your best life and thriving at your full potential? Maybe anxiety and stress are starting to affect your work, relationships, and quality of life.

I use a cultural relational model of psychotherapy for adults, and a Modern Analytically Informed Interpersonal Processing approach to groups with a special interest in Chronic and Catastrophic Illness and Disability including where those issues intersect couple's issues. My work with couples is informed by John Gottman, Harville Hendrix and Sue Johnson. Using these research and treatment models with you and your partner around issues of communication and attachment can help you to resolve problems, and achieve closer connection with each other along with a better quality of life.

I am eager to support clients in embracing their true self. I enjoy working with clients with depression, anxiety, infertility, life transitions (i.e. graduating, becoming a new mom, etc.), self-esteem, and those in the perinatal period. I also enjoy working with clients in larger bodies and empowering them to be their most authentic self in a society that attaches health and worthiness to weight.

I am a PhD Licensed Psychologist and see Children (10 and up), Teens, and Young Adults (ages 18-24) for Therapy. I also provide Parenting Consultations for the full range of issues, and Parent Coaching through separation and divorce. All appointments are via secure telehealth video sessions. Over 25 years experience as a therapist.

The pace, constant changes and stress of life can often feel like too much to manage alone. Through building a supportive and trusting relationship, we can work together to build on the skills and qualities you already have. My practice focuses primarily on working with adults of all gender identities dealing with a variety of issues, including difficult transitions, depression and anxiety, self-esteem, developmental trauma, and emotion regulation.

Teletherapy appointments only, M-Th evenings. My approach to counseling involves working together in a supportive and non-judgemental environment to help you process your thoughts, meet your goals, and develop the skills you need to take control and be content with your life. I have worked with children, teens, and adults and use different approaches to figure out what is best for you.

Accepting new clients! I work with women, men, and teens struggling with controlling big emotions and spiraling thoughts. I find it deeply rewarding to help clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and panic attacks due to life’s many stressors. I believe that healing happens when clients feel comfortable expressing their feelings, and I love to collaborate with clients to discover and use the strengths that are already inside of them.

You can begin living your life in a new and better way. Taking the first step can be the hardest part. At times, changing something about our situation can be helpful. Frequently, it is about greater self-acceptance. Emotions and behaviors can be influenced by factors outside of awareness. Therapy works best when it feels like a safe place to engage in a process of curious exploration.

Are you finding yourself going through life without knowing where you are and how you got there? You may be noticing the discomfort of specific feelings, body sensations, and or unhelpful thoughts. Our previous experiences can play a powerful role in our current reality contributing to vulnerability and patterns of behavior. Although we can struggle to fully participate in our experiences and turn our focus inward, my hope is to accompany you in moving through this and finding what’s essential to create meaning in your life.

Hey, I’m Tanya (she/her/hers). I graduated from Texas A&M in 2004 with a BS in Psychology. After graduation, I moved to Fort Worth where I attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and received a MA in Family and Marriage Counseling and a MA in Christian Education. Following graduation in 2007 I have been doing therapy and case management. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor- Supervisor (LPC-S) and a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI)-practitioner. I have a passion for helping individuals and walking alongside them so they can become the person they have always wanted to be.

If you’re seeking therapy, you might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious or out of control. You might be struggling with pain from your childhood, unhealthy relationships, low self-esteem or simply seeking to understand why you feel the way you do. Regardless of where you are in your journey, I would love to walk alongside you and help you find peace and resolution. I provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients. I believe that we all have the innate capacity to heal and I help clients work through the issues blocking their path to recovery.

Accepting New Clients - Welcome! One of the best ways to find out if I could be a good fit is to request a phone consultation via email. Most people who see me find that our work helps with difficult thoughts, experiences, and problems so they can enjoy more of life and have greater feelings of success. You may want to focus your therapy on anxiety, stress, relationships, transitions, work, family and/or health concerns.

I will demonstrate a full and accepting understanding of your difficulties, and I will listen keenly and show complete respect. I work to make sessions time-effective, frequent when needed and intermittent when feasible. We'll collaborate toward pragmatic solutions, and work toward your goals, not mine. I will challenge you and exert "gentle" pressure at times. I check regularly on how you feel about the therapy process and our working relationship. The quality of our working relationship is fundamental. We expect problems to arise at times, and we take care of them right away.

You feel like you've lost yourself. You know there's something wrong, but you haven't been able to figure out how to get yourself back on track. Maybe you feel stuck, unmotivated, and paralyzed by the feelings of overwhelm, frustration, or sadness. Your thoughts and emotions are all over the place, and sometimes, you feel like a burden to others. There's a part of you deep down that hopes and believes things can get better, which is what brought you here! You want to get to the root of the problem, take action, and walk away from therapy with a renewed sense of peace over your life and pride in yourself. Let's do it together. :)

COUNSELORS OF TEXAS is one of the largest private counseling groups in Central Texas with offices located in Killeen and Round Rock. Our services include individual therapy, marital and family counseling, group therapy, psychological and educational testing, Christian counseling, educational assessments, chemical dependency counseling, vocational counseling and play therapy. We work with children, adolescents and adults.

We can’t get around suffering sometimes in this life, but we can learn to live with dignity and grace, and we can know joy. Whether you are having questions of a spiritual nature, feeling stuck in your life, or needing to be free of deep and abiding pain, I stand ready to walk with you on the path of healing. I can say this with confidence because I have made this journey myself. My own experience with therapy helped me to understand that human beings are not machines that break and need to be fixed. They are beings that course correct; they mold and are molded by their environment.

Awareness. It is often what is missing when you are feeling overwhelmed, out of control, or trapped by negative patterns in your life. I will work with you to help you grow your awareness, to understand the factors within yourself, others, and the world around you that are contributing to your unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and actions. By collaborating together to reveal these hidden factors, we will bring useful processes and tools into sessions to help you set goals that move you toward greater balance in your life.
