Therapists for Teens in Hallsville, TX

Through counseling I help teens and parents of teens work through the challenges and difficulties of the adolescent years by providing effective and practical ways to navigate this generations unique struggles and challenges. As parents, it’s easy to get lost and confused in how the pressures of todays culture are impacting our kids. Do you feel as if your teen no longer values your input? Have you lost the ability to talk beyond superficial one-word answers? Are you at a loss when trying to figure out what is actually driving your teens behaviors?

We live in a world with set ideals and standards that weigh heavily on us pressing insurmountable expectations that we simply cannot meet. We also live with our own selves and our own minds putting the same demanding and unforgiving pressure on us. So, how might we break free into weightless grace? A jumping off point is beginning with “a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart" (Psalm 51:17). Our brokenness may range from depression, anxiety, grief, bitterness, addictions, shame, mental and emotional anguish and instability and are brought on by different variables such as trauma and attempting to shoulder this weight alone.

One day I was asked if I could have any superpower, what would it be and why? I replied, “The power of healing. If I could take away other people’s burdens, then I feel that I have done what is desperately needed for the world.” In a world full of suffering and pain, we all seek to be seen and have our voices heard. However, finding someone you can trust and open up to can be difficult. This broken world is hard to not give up on, but I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I want to walk with you through your journey and help see you through it. Life can throw many trials our way, but you do not have to navigate it alone.

You're tired, frustrated and just want peace at home! What works for one of your children doesn't work for the other and that's frustrating. Wish your teen girl came with an instruction manual? Your teen seems lonely, withdrawn, struggling with social issues, or can't control their anger and you feel hopeless because you don't know what to do to help. As parents we want our children to be healthy and happy yet sometimes we can't fix the situation for them and that makes us feel a failure as a parent.

Not sure where to go or what to do, but something needs to change? Your child comes home with misconduct reports from school and nothing you try is helping. Your teen is struggling with peers, depression or anxiety and you want to know how to help. Maybe you are not a parent and life’s challenges have become overwhelming and difficult to face. Stop and take a deep breath. Life isn’t easy and the challenges can be difficult to navigate. Parents become overwhelmed and frustrated when they feel like they cannot help their children cope. Children can struggle socially and emotionally and as parents we don’t always have the answers.
