Therapists for Teens in Lott, TX

I strive to be an effective and warm ally for adult and adolescent clients. By way of creating a therapeutic relationship rooted in compassion, housed within a healing environment, I believe it is possible to find meaningful changes in one's life. I work primarily from a systems-informed approach and utilize this framework to help understand behaviors not in isolation but as part of a system of factors where solutions require a deepening understanding of those factors.

I would describe my practice as helping people work through life issues in ways that promote relational, emotional and spiritual growth. My clinical areas of interest include spirituality, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I also specialize in working with men's issues. I apply a Christian/faith-based approach to counseling and am trained in both theology and professional counseling. I am an ordained minister and pastoral counselor. I don't impose my beliefs on clients, and respect all faith/spiritual traditions as valuable resources for healing. Areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, personality disorders, faith crisis, marriage, family, adolescent, and relationship issues.

Life can often be unpredictable and more dynamic than we are sometimes able to handle on our own. It is very easy to feel stuck, lost, hopeless, and even overwhelmed if we believe that we lack the resources and know how to approach our adversities. In the face of our challenges it is sometimes difficult to identify helpful solutions. This is how I may be helpful to you. Together we could explore what's possible and investigate solutions that work.

Modern Balance Counseling is a bilingual virtual therapy practice for folks living in Texas, Michigan, DC, Virginia, and Florida.

The name of the practice evokes its "why" as well as what I hope will be its offering for all that work with me. More than work-life balance, something relevant and practical... Modern Balance.

My internship experience begins at Austin Family Care, a group practice that works through a systemic lens offering individual, family, children/adolescent, couples, and group therapy. Whether you've already identified your therapeutic goals or are simply seeking a collaborative space for reflection and support, I'm here for you.

I believe that deepening our connection to self, and to others, empowers us to live with authenticity, empathy, and radical acceptance.

Everyone wants to be heard, seen, and understood. However, we often don't feel those things in life, especially when we have experienced trauma. It is easy to feel alone as you struggle in silence. However, you are not alone. I aim to create a safe, warm, empathetic space so you or your child/adolescent can find relief and power in sharing your story. I specialize in working with children and adolescents, as well as with adults who have experienced trauma. Working with children and adolescents gives me a unique perspective to help adults addressing childhood trauma. I provide individual and family therapy and parent coaching.

Are you having trouble connecting to your kids? Wondering who that teenager is that used to be your little toddler? Does your partner seem distant? Do you fight more than you used to and are thinking about throwing in the towel? Therapy can help you to answer these and other questions; from reconnecting with your children, discovering the person your toddler has grown into, rekindling the spark of joy in your romantic relationship, to making a fresh start together.

You’re looking for the right therapist to help. You’re overwhelmed and exhausted. The worries, what-ifs, and and wonderings are just too much to handle. You’re sick of the tears, tantrums, and terrible nights. You wish this anxiety would just leave you alone. Sometimes you think that these fears are normal, but recently school is getting harder, friendships are falling apart, and life at home is so stressful you could cry. You want to find someone who can help you, your child, or your teen to gain the confidence and flexibility to get life back on track.

Feelings of hopelessness and anxiety can become paralyzing, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. It’s easy to resort to unhealthy thoughts and behaviors to cope with life’s endless challenges. Are you using drugs, alcohol, shopping or food to avoid your fears and emotions? Are you drowning in the should haves and what if’s? I work with clients pre-teen and up who are looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, codependency, stress, relationships, sleep disorders, work/life balance and life transitions.

Are you a child, trying to find the right language to communicate how you are feeling with your parent, but unsure how? Whether you’re a parent unsure of what do to, an adolescent trying to find their place, or a child looking for a space to connect with your parent and to be a child, I am here for you!

I had a psychology practice in Austin for 20 years, relocating to Albuquerque in 2012. As an outgrowth of my continuing work with clients from Texas, I have developed a specialty in providing internet therapy. My specialties include eating disorders, complex mood disorders, personality disorders, recovery from narcissistic abuse, and helping families with "failure to launch" young adults. I also provide consultation to parents who are struggling with an oppositional adolescent or an adult child with ongoing difficulties. I provide both therapeutic and forensic psychological evaluations.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and trauma-informed, child and adolescent development expert committed to helping families and couples learn how to communicate effectively, create a sense of safety at home, and strengthen the bonds in their relationships. I approach our sessions with tenderness, warmth, and a genuine commitment to collaboration. I honor the unique needs and goals of your family, recognizing that each family is different and requires tailored support.

Thank you for considering me to be a part of your mental health journey. Reaching out for help as an individual or a parent can be anxiety provoking and it is my goal to be as transparent about therapy and mental health treatment as possible to ensure you feel comfortable with choosing me to be your therapist. My background consists of working for a Crisis Hotline, a residential treatment center, an emergency foster care shelter, and the Local Mental Health Authority. I have experience working with trauma and abuse survivors, LGBTQIA+ clients, foster and adoption, Borderline Personality Disorder, and other communities.

Welcome! And congratulations on taking your first step toward healing. Counseling can be an intimidating process, but I am here to help you strive to be your most authentic self, even if you’re struggling to know or remember who that “self” is for a time. Whether that’s because you’re a couple struggling to communicate, an individual who’s ready to unpack trauma, anxiety, or depression, a teen on a journey through a newly realized identity, a queer person ready to come out, a queer person who’s tired of coming out, someone ready for personal growth, or some unknowable "other," let's get you (re)acquainted with you.

Do you ask yourself “I’m smart, why is this so difficult?” Or find yourself repeating patterns where you think, “I should know better?” Maybe you were identified as Gifted as a child (or your teen is gifted) and wonder why they call it "gifted" when things are hard? Do you feel you lost your giftedness when you entered high school and gifted "support" became AP classes? Then maybe you could use a guide to help you uncover and understand those things you feel you “should know” or be able to do but might not have ever been taught. Bringing yourself in line with who you want to be is one of the things therapy can do for you.

I believe that all people have the capacity to grow and change and that counseling can make profound and lasting changes in your life. My clients are successful people who find themselves challenged during difficult experiences. Counseling is an excellent opportunity to help you learn about your strengths and to explore what you really want out of life and relationships. As an interactive, goal-oriented, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapist, my treatment approach provides support and practical feedback to help clients find solutions for current life challenges. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to determine if my practice is appropriate for your needs.
