Attachment-based Therapists in Spur, TX

My goal is to partner with you in discovering your own, unique, ability to heal. I believe that hope, wholeness, and peace are all possible, but that sometimes we need assistance in finding them. Coping with the reality of our story can be difficult when it is not as we originally wished it to be. Together we can make meaning of your story and find the strength that lies within it. My approach to therapy is to assist you in doing the difficult work of uncovering your true, fully-alive self, amidst this present pain.

Do you seem to be caught in a cycle of constant conflict over the same issues? Do you live with a sense of isolation from your partner? Do you struggle with anger, anxiety, sadness/grief, or insecurity? I work with individuals and couples in gaining control over the emotional reactiveness that seems to derail our best efforts at life and relationships. Through a Process Experiential and Emotionally Focused Therapy approach I help individuals and couples to gain insight and reorganize their experiences in order to create new patterns of dealing with the challenges they face in relationships and in life.

My intention as a therapist is to support you in your exploration of ways to create an enriching and worthwhile life. My clients are often adjusting to difficult circumstances, looking to revamp their coping strategies, hoping to process stressful past events, and/or to improve their relationships with themself and others. I respect all coping strategies that have helped my clients survive, and find it important to reflect on the ways challenges show up in therapy in order to learn more helpful, resourcing ways to deal with life and relate to others in real time. I'm in-person in Lubbock and meet with folks online all over Texas.

My name is Taylor Ballard and I am located inside of Playroom Lubbock. I have primarily worked with children, teens, and young adults.

I am committed to providing compassionate and non-judgmental support by providing a safe space for clients to open up and process emotional hardship.

I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, trauma, severe mental illness, and dissociative disorders. I believe that it is important to feel heard, understood, and safe with your therapist.

I am currently taking new clients for appointments. My clients say they can tell I genuinely care. My authentic, non-judgemental, easy-going personality allows for comfortable conversation. My life experience (married 25+ yrs. w/ 5 children) helps me relate to the everyday struggles of life. Unfortunately, there are seasons of life which are extremely difficult. During those challenging times talking to a professional counselor can make a world of difference. Call or email to book an appointment.

Mental health issues are becoming increasingly common in our world today, and I believe getting professional help is an act of strength and courage. I want you to know you are not alone. Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger after traumatic events or difficult life transitions. I can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.

Every new day is a new chance to change. Life comes with many stages and changes like getting married or divorced, having children, going to college, starting a new job or losing someone close. Whether you are prepared or not these things often create so many emotions, thoughts, and decisions it gets overwhelming. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and help guide you through it. As a systemically trained therapist, I believe it’s the experiences we have had throughout our life with family, friends, partners, colleagues, etc. that shape who we are and influence how we handle what’s going on in our world.

The journey of life sometimes leads us down roads and paths untraveled. These new paths can be exciting or painful and scary. Perhaps you have experienced an unexpected death or loss. You or someone you love may be struggling with addiction, like substances or pornography. You may experience chronic physical pain and feel hopeless to find relief. Stress, depression, and anxiety may have surfaced unexpectedly or you have struggled with them for years. Or, you may be experiencing a life transition and hoping to grow through it. You, your children, teenagers, marriage, or family may be struggling to find harmony, peace or direction.

Not accepting new clients at this time. I hope to establish a compassionate place for you to come and discuss life challenges, obstacles and impacts. Often, impacts from traumas and other stressful events can leave us feeling stuck. We feel stuck as we experience flashbacks, nightmares, overwhelming emotions, anxiety and depression. We know the person we want to be, but we just can't seem to get there. I have a passion for helping others to understand how their life experiences have impacted them and how to move forward from these experiences utilizing research-based interventions so that they can achieve their goals.

Trauma and its aftershocks suck. Trauma wounds the mind, body and spirit. It's confusing and debilitating, and it leaves you wondering whether life will get better. Trauma can make you feel, and believe, that there is something wrong with you, that you are going crazy, or that you are broken or stupid. But none of it is true. The truth is this: trauma is healable.

Life is full of bumps. For married couples, these bumps can become mountains if they aren't addressed. Women who are deciding about motherhood, trying to get pregnant, navigating pregnancy or facing postpartum issues often feel alone. I want to help each of my clients to move beyond their bumps and into a healthy place. The therapeutic bond is vital – a place to be you without judgment. We'll navigate your emotions together, honoring authenticity and challenging your negative thoughts. This is a place where your story matters. Let's embark on this journey as fellow travelers toward an authentic and purposeful life.

In the words of Mr. Rogers, “Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people." This is the same perspective I aim to bring with me into each and every therapy session. Hi! I’m Karissa J., LMFT-A supervised by Tanya Alexander, Ph.D, LMFT-S, ATR-BC. I believe there is healing when we connect with another human in being seen, heard, and supported. I enjoy working with couples and families in helping them heal. I also have over 16 years experience working with kids and teens as a teacher, which has provided me valuable insight in how to connect with your child.

In today's world lots of people struggle with relationship issues. Most people long to have someone to talk to about what's happening in their lives. We were created for connection with others, whether it come from a teacher, friend, coworker, spouse, or family member. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe comfortable space for YOU to process your story and its challenges, and then work together to improve your mental health and relationships.
