Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in 77301

After 30 years as an occupational therapist helping individuals overcome physical challenges, I returned to school to pursue my desire to become a licensed counselor. I believe that mental health is as important as physical ability and that it is never too late to pursue a dream. I believe that asking for help is a sign of strength rather than one of weakness.

Hi, I'm April, a professional specializing in anxiety, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I am well-versed in trauma-informed care and have received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My practice is tailored to individuals aged 18 and above, and I possess a particular expertise in working with neurodiverse clients, including those with Autism and ADHD. My background includes a Master's degree in Education/Counseling, and I bring 14 years of experience as a Special Education Teacher to my counseling work.

The world is not always an easy place to live. Often our circumstances are beyond our control, but we can learn to change the lens through which we view our circumstances. Through counseling, you and I can work together to help you develop coping strategies, increase personal growth, strengthen your emotional well-being, address unresolved issues, explore patterns of behavior, and improve interpersonal relationships. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental place for clients ages 18 and up to process feelings and navigate the difficult issues of life. If you live in Texas, I would love to support your emotional needs through Telehealth!

As past Chief of Allied Staff of a inpatient psychiatric hospital plus 20+ years of private practice, I provide a strong base of clinical skill and experience for all my clients. Through building improved perception, insight,and judgment supported by the accepting psychotherapeutic relationship, my goal is to enable clients to effect positive change in their lives through awareness and resolution of issues. My practice focuses on the family as well as individual behavioral/emotional problems of children, through Play Therapy, and adolescents and adults. I believe every individual has internal resources to resolve conflict with support and guidance.

Is your child struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, ADHD, oppositional behaviors or other emotional and behavioral problems? Is a traumatic experience still following you or your child around? Are you having difficulties to find the best parenting style and discipline methods? With years of experience working with a wide variety of issues, I am here to help you and your loved ones to achieve your goals towards healing, happiness, and balance! I also work with adoptive and foster parents who want to learn better ways to help their children.

Within themselves, each person has the power and strength to tackle the challenges and difficulties they face. It’s my job, as a clinician, to help them access that power and strength, and I do this by first providing a non-judgmental and positive environment. This allows us to identify the thoughts and perceptions that are influencing their actions, both positive and negative. Real, affirming change can happen when we openly examine the thinking that is holding us back and work to change those thoughts that are no longer servicing our goals. I’m excited to help clients with that self-examination and re-building process.

You think to yourself, "I don't know who I am anymore." The loneliness is wearing you down, and the feelings of being unappreciated, unloved, and misunderstood are overwhelming. It's just exhausting. Responsibilities keep piling up, and sometimes you fantasize about just running away from it all. But instead, you shut down. You crave a place where your voice is heard and you are seen. Are you ready to feel like yourself again?
