Healing comes from an intentional choice and giving yourself permission to take that choice. Seeking help is the first, and bravest, choice we can make. I would love to be part of this new healing journey you will embark on. When a client steps into my office I want them to have access to the journey that is within them. A place for a child to explore a world using toys and play for words, for teens to come, kick their feet up, and become the author of their own story, and for adults to create a healing narrative that is one of laughter, expression, and adventure.

The hardest part is making that first call. I have over 20 years of experience as a counselor. I love what I do. Call any time for an appointment. 432-248-6449. Or after hours. 325-998-9630. Therapy is cheaper than... Many times I hear people say they cant afford therapy. But if you figure the costs it saves it is money well spent. Divorce? Can cost your thousands and half of everything you own. Grief? Can take years off you your time to enjoy your life. Teen Stress? Can lead to hospitalization or even jail time. Thanks

It is my firm belief that everyone deserves to feel heard and known. With a person-centered approach, I strive to promote client wellness and wholehearted living through genuine compassion and acceptance.

Clients are most successful in therapy when they are motivated and willing to actively participate in the therapy sessions. Therapy is such a powerful tool in moving forward and growing. Everyone has challenging times in their lives and I enjoy being able to watch people grow and recognize their strengths in these hard moments. I will walk alongside you as you process hurts, past trauma, difficult life adjustments, and move towards a cycle of peace and healthiness.

Yep, life sure can feel heavy sometimes! Does it seem as though you are in a constant wrestling- match with your feelings, or battling an emotional tug-of-war? Are the daily pressures weighing you down, leaving you discouraged, exhausted or hopeless? Maybe you are fighting to control your racing thoughts & restless energy. Struggling to contain or manage your frustration, disappointment, anger, fear or sadness can feel impossible, even pointless, at times. The stress of it all might even be causing you to disconnect or isolate from those you love in order to shield them from what you are going through.

I currently have openings for new clients face to face in the evenings and Saturdays. I have flexibility during weekdays for telehealth. I really enjoy working with teenagers, adults, and couples. Our sessions are always very solutions focused with the focus on helping clients reach their preferred future.

Are you a parent or a caregiver struggling to know where to turn to find support as you navigate the path of raising a child? Do you find yourself asking “why is this so much more difficult than I thought it would be”? Are you worried about your child’s mood, behaviors, or overall emotional well-being? Or maybe you are raising a neuro-divergent child or a child with challenging behaviors and traditional parenting just isn’t working.

We are committed to providing personalized and quality counseling to the West Texas area.

Connection is hard. We are all striving to belong. Belong to ourselves, in our own skin and in relationships with others. For far too many, past hurts keeps us from what we most need- real human connection with another caring human. My office strives to be that place where people can be without judgment or shame. A place to learn real skills to help us feel nurtured and safe. A place to explore hurt in past relationships and how to create, maybe for the first time, the ability to care for and be cared for by others. A place that embodies growth and change with grace and compassion.

Do you struggle with change in any part of your life? Tough for you to make a decision? Are issues of morality and character at the bottom of your relationship conflicts? Do you have difficulty understanding concepts in religion and spirituality? Can't do any thing right? As a licensed professional counselor, I am committed to being your resource for solutions to help you overcome hardships. I would welcome the opportunity to assist you in developing and implementing a plan for growth.

In therapy you will develop greater levels of insight, understanding regarding personal motivations, internal conflicts, and emotions. I have 27 years of clinical experience and have attended numerous trainings over the years at the national level. The knowledge and experience gained over 27 years have prepared me to help people with a multitude of problems.

Whether it's life challenges, obstacles or transitions that are prompting you to seek counseling, today you are one step closer to your personal journey of growth and healing. Fear of change is natural, but can prevent us from letting go of old beliefs, behaviors, and ways of being and situations that are no longer beneficial to our wellbeing.

I'm Kinsey Igo, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker that specializes in guiding individuals like you towards a life of renewed hope and empowerment.
