Adlerian Therapists in Cedar Park, TX

Do you sense that something undefinable is holding you back from success and happiness in your school, work, or personal life? Our thoughts and actions are often purposeful and useful. Where we falter is when what has worked for us in the past is no longer effective in dealing with our problems. So-called "symptoms" often mask deeper issues in our lives. When these unresolved facets of ourselves are addressed in psychotherapy, we tend to get better. I want to meet you in a genuine and non-judgmental way. My approach is empathetic, playful, and collaborative.

After 7 years as a teacher and school counselor, Kathryn (Nin) Emery now serves as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Her background was founded on a passion for working with teens, guiding them as they navigate the tumultuous period of adolescence. She will offer a safe, non-judgmental place to support personal growth. Older adolescents will be offered more privileges in privacy, however, parents will remain frequently updated and well-informed. Play therapy is also her passion; a research-based modality of working with younger children.

As an African American, male-identified therapist, I bring a trauma-informed lens to my work. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals who are stigmatized against seeking therapy. I am an empathetic and skilled therapist, committed to helping my clients heal and grow. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and working together to heal, grow, regulate, and bolster individual value and develop healthy relationships with healthy boundaries. I believe counseling brings great value to the person or couple who decide to do the work. I'd love to help you define and reach your counseling goals.

Hi there! I'm Santiago Ramirez. As a counselor, I have worked with clients who came in for trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, LGBTQIA+ related issues, gender, sexuality, and grief and loss. I have had considerable experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community. As a counselor, I believe it is important to provide a supportive space and guidance to help a client go from surviving life to living life.

Thanks for taking time to view my information. I try to be what I would look for in a psychologist: someone who is tactful, cares about the person, and responds with both knowledge and compassion. You will find me to be interactive. I will not sit silently or simply reflect what you just said. I will let you know my perceptions and discuss research, making suggestions on ways to feel better. I tend to focus both on your emotions and your thoughts. You will do most of the talking, but you will get a genuine reaction from me.

I provide a safe environment to develop trust and share in the healing process. I have been working with teens, children, and adults for over 10 years and am experienced in helping individuals and families thrive after trauma, loss, and difficult transitions.

Managing life's battles can be overwhelming and inherently all-consuming. I am direct, solution focused and client centered when it comes to working with people who are seeking treatment related to substance use/addiction disorders, family/relational conflict, spiritual questioning centered around trauma, grief or purposeful living, life transitions, case management, marriage and couples counseling as well as working with teens, emerging and aging adults. Our sessions can range from helping manage fear that may cause immobility or clouding our brightest path to addressing coping skills to better navigate relapse, improving communication or building insight to behavior and purpose.

Anxiety, depression, and relationship strain are all signs of change trying to happen. Often fear holds us back from challenging ourselves and our relationships. What we need is security, loving acceptance, and healthy curiosity. You may fear that you are stuck, that your partner will never change to meet your needs, or perhaps you are predestined to being unhappy or alone. I help people create relationships where they are comfortable enough to grow. It's through authentic relationships that we find the strength to dream big. Together we can find deep and meaningful connection and insight, find joy in our tears, trust, and grow.

If you find that you are struggling more than usual with anxiety, depression, or just an overall feeling that "things aren't right", you are not alone. I work with adolescents and adults to improve coping skills to deal with stress and anxiety, as well as life changes.

Life's journey gives us many ups and downs, sometimes making it hard to see which way is up or down. Finding support when you are lost or alone, when you are feeling stressed or anxious, or when you need support through life's changes can be difficult, and therapy might be the right choice. Whether you are a parent needing support for your child or teen, or an adult deciding to take the next step, you are courageous and not alone. Together we can heal.

I have a deep understanding of the complexities people face in their lives and the importance of integrating various aspects of health & well-being in therapy. My focus is an integrative approach, particularly in addressing ADHD & mood disorders. These conditions can significantly impact individuals' lives, and providing specialized support can make a profound difference. I incorporate approaches that address both the psychological & physiological aspects of these conditions. From CBT to mindfulness practices, finding a personalized blend of strategies can empower individuals to better manage symptoms and navigate challenges.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a background in education who enjoys working with kids 10 and older, teens, and adults from all backgrounds and lifestyles. My approach to counseling is that life is messy but we are in this together. Everyone, whether child or adult, has a unique perspective with a need to feel love, belonging, and a chance to flourish. Together, we will explore finding that authentic inner voice through compassionate self-reflection and inquiry as we work towards personal goals, behavior changes, or perspective taking.

I am a bilingual therapist (fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin) licensed in both Texas and New Jersey. I work collaboratively with my clients – individual, parents, couples, and families – using a relational, humanistic and client-centered therapeutic approach. As a culturally-competent and trauma-informed therapist, my priority is to create a non-judgmental, compassionate, safe, and inclusive space for all my clients. I am passionate about helping individuals recognize their possibilities, inner strengths and feel empowered.
