Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists in Kirby, TX

Are you a military caregiver or spouse needing some support? I am a spouse to a Marine Wounded Warrior and have been a caregiver full-time to help with Combat PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury. My goal is to help you to overcome the stress and lifestyle associated with the military while empowering you to become successful in your relationships. I work from a systemic approach with a nonjudgmental viewpoint. My experience allows me to understand the dynamics of a military relationship and gives the ability to relate. If you want couples, family, or individual therapy, I am here to listen and help!

I'm a bilingual (Spanish/English) licensed psychologist. I am the Director of Behavioral Health team at Centric Physicians in San Antonio. Clinically, my role is to perform advanced and comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of adults to help diagnose, and assist with treatment of brain degenerative diseases (dementia), traumatic brain injury, and other brain pathology. I provide services in post-acute and sub-acute care facilities in San Antonio. In addition, I do forensic assessments to help lawyers and judges answer psycholegal questions.

Aging, death, break ups, brain injury, major health diagnosis, addiction, family conflict, and dozens of life's other challenges are accompanied by grief. Grief and loss is part of a universal human experience that, despite it's commonality, is just as difficult every time for every one of us. As much as we'd like for these feelings to just disappear they can cause us to feel overwhelmed and hopeless until we find a way to integrate them, not "get over" them. I offer telehealth visits to adults and older adults in Texas and am accepting new clients.

I have been successful in the past with all manner of clients through many different settings – male, female, transgender, heterosexual, LGBTQ+, in inpatient, outpatient, technician, assessment, or even consulting settings. I also really enjoy working with teens and adolescents, since early brain-based interventions help everyone succeed even more in their lifetime. I find that my personality and style seem to fit best with clients who feel they are trapped in a negative routine, have no one with which to talk, or no way out of the situation from which they suffer.

Have you ever felt alone in a crowd? Struggling with the difficulties of your lived experiences and feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders can be a common human experience, and overwhelming to the point of feeling weak, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. When you find yourself grappling with a sense of doom and experiencing a feeling of everything falling apart around you, all you desire is someone who can acknowledge your emotions, stand by your side, actively listen, and empathize with your situation.

My passion is to help people see and be their best versions. I am a Veteran and know my strengths lay with Veterans and First Responders, but my skills can assist anyone that is in need. My focus has been trauma and addiction. I believe the client is the expert and I am a team member that collaborate with client, and medication management team to assist in the best path forward.

I am a therapist who is empathetic, caring, and considerate. I can help you no matter how big or how little the situation or problem is.

Change is hard, but worth it. Clients can expect an empathic and caring, but no-nonsense, approach to tackling issues. I specialize in Military/Veteran issues, anxiety and trauma treatment to clients residing anywhere in TX, NC & AK. No travel required! I provide a non-judgmental atmosphere that enables frank, honest discussions that promote change. I have a good history with clients seeking out initial care as well as those who have been unsuccessful with other therapists. I do not accept insurance, as I believe care should be authentic and person-centered without coding or billing guidelines dictating care.

You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?

In Adventure Therapy, we engage together in hiking local parks, gardens and galleries, along with archery, kayaking, sunrise/sunsets or a litany of outdoor options in the Texas Hill Country. It’s not just about the activity itself, but about the feelings and clarity it evokes. It’s about overcoming barriers, building resilience, and gaining new perspectives. Everyone has strengths and resources, exceptions to present challenges. I believe that feeling content does not come from finding, it comes from remembering. Adventure Therapy provides a unique and engaging way to help you reconnect with your inherent strengths and resources.

Providing treatment for Child and Family issues, with additional expertise in Post Traumatic Stress, Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar symptoms.

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

I help you gain control over difficult issues QUICKLY to feel happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. First, we need the right understanding of the issue ... then I use research-based approaches to maximize benefit in as few sessions as possible. Many of my clients are high-functioning, working professionals who are experiencing symptoms they just can't shake - we work together to solve that and get you back to feeling good in your life. Even just 1 session of good therapy should feel very helpful.

During the therapeutic process, I challenge clients with the statement that I am "Daring You to Be YOU!" This challenge of personal acceptance is designed to help individuals to evaluate their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to determine what is hindering them from achieving their goals. As clients go through the therapeutic process, they learn to develop the intimacy (in-to-me-I-see) needed to develop the strength to face life's challenges. The ideal client wants therapeutic support in acknowledging personal triggers, defining happiness, developing healthy relationships, and identifying areas for personal development.

Does transitioning to the next phase in life seem out of reach? How determined are you to find love again? How desperate are you for a solution to feel the same way you once did? If you are reading this, then now is the time to take a new journey for yourself. You are ready to dive deep within to determine your self-worth. You can heal from your grief/loss/divorce/breakup!
