Most people have experienced some type of trauma in their lifetime; however, because we aren’t taught to identify certain situations as “traumatic,” we proceed through life with negative, maladaptive behaviors unknowingly. Anxiety, depression, poor communication skills, self-esteem issues, and anger are potential results. Let’s take the first step to a new beginning! I am looking forward to working aside you to overcome the barriers and obstacles that are hindering your personal growth.

Hi! My name is Natalie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have been providing counseling to small children all the way up to geriatric individuals for a little over 6 years now. I am only providing telehealth therapy at this time, and I do not offer couples' counseling. My view of therapy is that each individual knows what's best for their own life; they just need someone to guide them to whatever that solution or truth is. That's where I come in! I am an expert in mental health, but you are the expert in YOU.

I am a Licensed Professional Counseling Associate under the supervision of Dr. Richard Bishop, LMFT-S, LPC-S. I have worked with children, adolescents, individuals, and couples using a “here and now” approach. I conduct therapy around this truth. The past has already happened and I cannot change it other than to reflect on it in order to bring change through awareness. The future has not happened yet and I have limited control. What I can control are the choices I make currently that can lead to the desired outcome. By focusing on the “here and now” we create awareness, taking control of our own life. Teamwork leads to desired goals

Hello! First off, congratulations to you for taking the initial and difficult step in seeking the change that you feel is necessary to defeat the issue(s) that you may be battling with. I aim to bring out the great things that are already inside of you and look to do that by actively listening to you, encouraging you and highlighting your strengths, empowering you, and allowing you to practice self-advocacy. It is easy to focus on the wrong but I aim to focus more on the right. I look to develop emotional well-being while also creating an environment to facilitate overall life balance.

I will help you become the CEO of your own life by trusting yourself again and changing repeated patterns that don't serve you.

My purpose is to help people who struggle with negative self-beliefs live a life they are proud of. Going through traumatic experiences can affect every aspect of one’s present life and lead to unhealthy life choices. The things that helped us get through and survive hard moments in our past can be the very things holding us back from living the life that we want now.

Are the dynamics of a specific relationship affecting other areas of your life? Or is something personal affecting your important relationships? Because relationships are the building blocks of life, they have the power to affect your happiness & well-being. It seems that creating a balance of love & trust between people in relationships enhances the individuals' hopes for the future of the relationship overall. Couple relationships function best when give & take is balanced & when relational fairness is made a priority. Other family relationships are similar & should also be fair & balanced in how individuals give & take & relate with one another.

I believe life is a process filled with opportunities to learn and grow. I see myself as a guide to help you travel down difficult paths when you feel stuck, lost, or helpless. I will not give you answers but I will help you search for them. The counseling process is just that – a process. While there are no guarantees for the outcome of the counseling, I will work with you to determine counseling goals and treatment plans to help you in your situation. I utilize an Attachment based focus as part of therapy incorporating CBT and DBT techniques. Should the need arise, I can offer a Christian and Biblical worldview.

Here you are. Things may not be bad, but they aren’t really good either. It’s amazing how much pain, unhappiness, emptiness and isolation we are willing to endure before we do anything. Perhaps you have tried everything you can imagine and nothing worked. You may be frightened that things will never be good again. The good news is our body, mind and spirit are hard-wired for healing. Sometimes, you may just need a little help. Especially, when others have worked hard to tear you down.

My personal counseling philosophy begins with and ends with congruency, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard. Regardless of their past, I believe that every individual deserves a safe space and opportunity to express and explore themselves unapologetically. I entered the counseling field because of the first-hand traumas I've experienced in my own life. I fully understand the effects of negative self-talk and distorted thinking that can impact an individual's life, and my hope is to be a helping hand to others through their journey.

Life can be so hard to maneuver sometimes. No one is immuned from difficulty, setbacks and hard times. Sometimes it's good to talk to someone that will listen and sit with you during such difficulties. I'd like to be that person. I've been married for 33 years. I have a 26 year old son and a 22 year old daughter. I'm a Desert Storm Vet. I also spent many years in the software sales industry before becoming a therapist. I feel this gives me some credibility in many situations so I'm not coming to the table with a lack of experience. In my spare time, I like to hunt, fish, golf, hike and most anything outdoors.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
