Therapists in Ingram, TX

Throughout my work, it has become clear that the mind is amazing at convincing us of our worst fears and we can often turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms that may heighten already negative feelings. These experiences can be intense and opening up can bring its own set of challenges. It has been a real privilege to support people in navigating their emotional experiences relating to anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, and trauma. I take a mindful approach to my practice and place significant emphasis on the relationship we build.

Taylor welcomes individuals and couples who are seeking to create change in their lives. She specializes in trauma, anxiety, ketamine assisted therapy, self-compassion/acceptance, and relationship issues. Taylor may be a good fit for you if anxiety or depression are causing daily distress, self-criticism and burnout are impacting work performance, or if relationships feel unmanageable and disconnected. She supports clients to overcome painful past experiences and unhelpful patterns, in order to reconnect with themselves, loved ones, and career in more meaningful and successful ways.

Are you overwhelmed? Anxious? Lonely? In emotional or even physical pain? Working hard to care for everyone else and coming up empty within yourself? Feeling isolated in the close relationship you care about most? Therapy offers a safe and confidential place to get some help to develop or perhaps rekindle a lively connection to yourself and your own dreams. If your relationship is suffering, it can help you regain the closeness and intimacy you once had and if you are parents help you nurture your own marriage while raising secure children.

I help people struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions and stress to heal from the past and experience peace and fulfillment in the present. I enjoy working with folks who feel ready for a change and want to transform their problems at the root level. I have experience working with children, teens and adults from diverse backgrounds, and I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ folks, immigrants, parents, and creatives.

As the Founder and Executive Director of Bloom Therapy, my mission is to help as many people as possible live free from anxiety, trauma, and depression, as well as provide support and guidance through normal relationship difficulties and life transitions. In addition to offering individual psychotherapy, I also provide clinical supervision and mentorship to new therapists at Bloom Therapy. I embrace spiritual curiosity and those who wish to explore and honor their spiritual existence within the therapeutic context. Anyone who is serious about growing and wants to make substantial change in their life is a good fit for my practice.

Do you ever find yourself caught in a cycle of facing challenges related to your anxiety, relationships, and self-exploration, no matter what else is happening in your life? You may be fed up with the tight grip of anxiety, and feeling the erosion of your self-confidence. Making it difficult to navigate relationships with the openness and authenticity you desire. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to forge connections with others who understand and appreciate you for who you are. Most of all, you’re ready to feel empowered.

Feeling stressed, anxious, on edge, not allowing yourself to feel happy for fear of the next bad thing that might happen. Highly sensitive, you get hurt easily and the emotions take over leaving you doubting yourself and not able to trust others. It’s getting in the way of your life and your relationships. Trying to avoid it, keep yourself busy, or think your way out of it isn’t working. Your insecurity tells you to put others first, but then you feel used or taken for granted. You so want to be seen, heard, and acknowledged.

I specialize in helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and problems with interpersonal relationships. My goal with every client is to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I aim to develop a strong therapeutic relationship built on mutual-respect, empathy, authenticity, and trust. I enjoy helping people realize how their past affects the present and the value of learning to recognize, process and manage their emotions in ways that improve their functioning and quality of life.

I genuinely invest in you as a person I care about and serve as a pillow of support you can fall on for comfort, warmth, and complete understanding. I provide a safe environment so you can bring it all to the surface and we can tackle it together. I'm a depth-oriented therapist, so working with me is deeply powerful, transforming your life in ways you didn't think were possible. Whether you're experiencing marital issues, traumatic memories, abusive relationships, family conflict, social anxiety, OCD tendencies, or suicidal thoughts, I can help. Immediately book an appt online with me and we can get started!

As a therapist, I’m excited to work together with you as you move in the direction of your goals for a flourishing, authentic life. I believe that the North Star of your wellbeing is within you, and that the self-understanding you excavate through therapy can be life-changing. I also believe that healing often happens in the context of relationship with others. So, as a counselor, one of the things I most prioritize is the strength and security of our therapeutic relationship. Along the way, you’ll find that my style is empathetic, warm, curious - and sometimes even humorous!

My approach to therapy focuses on an empowerment method to capitalize on the intelligent and profound ways one manifests their life. I feel psychotherapy can be beneficial for any person, and the importance of a safe and comfortable environment to help enable clients to develop insight. Using different techniques to help areas of struggle or growth opportunities we will discover ways to promote one's inner self, including trusting the self and guiding one's intuition. I believe in building a relationship with my clients to have a space to process current frustrations and heartache.

I view treatment as a safe space where healing can occur through the process of unpeeling multiple layers of mental and emotional patterns (conscious and unconscious), leading individuals to discover their strengths, true potential and authentic self. In this process, one can feel empowered and inspired to integrate all parts of self, even those hidden from the conscious mind. This delicate work is only possible when trust and alliance are established between therapist and client. The principles guiding this work are unconditional acceptance, compassion and non-judgment.

We all long to feel connected, known, and loved. And when we don’t, it can create tremendous suffering. In response to our pain, we adapt and learn ways to cope- ultimately seeking to make intolerable feelings tolerable. But our coping strategies disconnect us from who we truly are and come at a high cost. I offer a therapeutic lifeline that empowers you to claim your inherent worth and inner knowing. I deeply respect and want to nurture the wisdom you hold inside yourself. You may worry that you are too flawed, but together we can rediscover your worthiness and the inherent beauty within you.

Therapy can be your space to explore questions about yourself & others and how to cope with your unique challenges in a deeper way. Over time you too can begin to feel how liberating it is to show up for yourself. "Imperfections" are just the best way you have been able to cope with life circumstances. Learn how to listen to your own internal wisdom and tolerate the emotions you may have been numb to or disconnected from. Develop new ways to cope and be in the world that support the life you want to create. You too can begin to build a life you may have only wished for by giving yourself the time and support you deserve.

I aim at supporting individuals and couples who want to learn about themselves, build healthier relationships, be more emotionally present, and cope more successfully. I believe that through self- exploration and learning about our relationships, we promote growth, peace, and healing in our lives, thus building more fulfilling connections with others. I aim to help you find ways to improve your life and your relationships. If you are dealing with issues related to family conflict, relationships, GLBTQ issues, spirituality, or anxiety; I believe I would be a good fit for you.

I love working with both individuals and couples! I believe everyone deserves to be happy and comfortable in mind, body, and relationships. Unfortunately, anxiety, stress, self-doubt, depression, and misunderstandings can knock you out of life’s driver’s seat. In my couples counseling work, I use EFT and the Gottman method to assist partners in healing patterns of miscommunication and disconnection. Couples learn to express their deepest feelings, respond rather than react, and make successful bids for connection.

As a depth-centered psychotherapist, my mission is to help you better connect with the realest self that you are: one that has a profound ability to know exactly how to live a life of meaning and fulfillment. By slowing down and holding space for curiosity, we have an opportunity to disrupt beliefs that may be contributing to conflict in relationships, and stagnation in life goals. A large part of my research and experience is focused on helping adults with undiagnosed ADHD build a better-working structural foundation, helping to meet the anxiety that arises from the chaos of modern life with a sense of calm and confidence.

My ideal client is itching for a change, even if they are unsure a change is possible. They may find themselves experiencing recurrent uncomfortable emotions (grief, depression, shame, anxiety), painful relationship dynamics, or a deep longing to heal a past trauma (sexual abuse or family violence). I cary the belief that change is possible and healing is feasible even when it may feel far off. My work is rooted in attachment theory- which means I hold authenticity, compassion, connection, and unrelenting hope at the center of every session.

We can’t get around suffering sometimes in this life, but we can learn to live with dignity and grace, and we can know joy. Whether you are having questions of a spiritual nature, feeling stuck in your life, or needing to be free of deep and abiding pain, I stand ready to walk with you on the path of healing. I can say this with confidence because I have made this journey myself. My own experience with therapy helped me to understand that human beings are not machines that break and need to be fixed. They are beings that course correct; they mold and are molded by their environment.
