Are you feeling depressed, unmotivated, worried, or stressed? Are you not living the life you desire. Can't seem to get on track? Do you want to create greater balance in your life and live more fully and freely? I would like to help. I am a clinical psychologist and work with individuals to promote healing, change, and personal growth. I provide guidance through careful listening, compassionate support, and enthusiasm. I consider you an active partner in creating the changes you desire. My treatment approach is genuine, positive, and non-judgmental and works to promote active curiosity, discovery, and growth.

I believe that all people have the ability to grow and heal. As a counselor, I work with individuals, couples, and families, tailoring my approach to address clients’ specific needs in order to develop a safe, non-judgmental environment in which clients feel empowered to make positive changes. In our sessions, I’ll help you identify and address behavioral patterns and underlying issues to create lasting change. To ensure your needs are being met, we’ll work together to state your needs clearly and create healthy boundaries.

It is my desire to assist people in the process of change and to help redirect the course of their lives. I am truly devoted to helping every client to walk down that path to a more fulfilling and peaceful life.

Whether you are seeking change, needing help getting unstuck, or are not sure what you need, you have taken the first step to uncover the path ahead. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor. My focus is on individual therapy with older adolescents and adults. I have a special passion for helping those suffering from eating disorders, anxiety problems, mood disorders, and trauma. My treatment focuses on identifying strengths and core values, while mastering coping skills and cognitive-behavioral strategies that will help you make significant change.

Are you ready to start the journey towards living your best life? It's easy to feel overwhelmed in today's fast-paced world. The pressure to succeed, trying to make a living, or just getting through each day can be hard and we often feel like we are lost on our current path in life. As your therapist, I will collaborate with you to find your best way forward to feeling better. Working together we can find ways to get you on the path to changing where you are now to moving towards where you want to be.

We walk this earth together, and I consider it a great gift each time I have the privilege of walking beside a fellow human being as they courageously make the decision to do what they know each person needs to do throughout life- reach out to someone to assist in gaining clarity along the way. I have found many people are unaware not only of the formidable strengths they possess, but that through self-awareness and healing, their life may become one of skilled resilience. I offer you my deep presence, empathy, skills, and unconditional positive regard as we walk this path as a team.

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf"-Jon Kabat Zinn- In a time where we are hit with continuous stimuli, the waves of change seem to be moving faster than ever. Whether struggling with your health, the health of a loved one, battling cancer, parenting through different life stages, new physical challenges with aging, changes in your career, housing or relationships, I provide a nonjudgemental space to find tools to cope. Video counseling gives us the opportunity for me to join you on your couch, which can create more comfort and ease in forming a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Are you experiencing burnout? Do you over-book or overwork yourself, believing you have no choice? Do you prioritize other people's needs or problems before your own? Caring physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, caregivers and parents need extra help in deciding how much they can offer and when to pull back to avoid burnout. You may need help if you are an adult child of an alcoholic or grew up in a chaotic or unpredictable home.

Life can be painful and overwhelming. The courage to seek help is a sign of strength. Whether you are an adolescent, adult, or couple in crisis, experiencing transition, needing help with life struggles, or desiring emotional balance, I look forward to the privilege of walking alongside you. As a LPC, my approach to well-being is grounded in the philosophy that life difficulties are the result of aloneness and lack of healthy relational attachments. Aloneness manifests itself in a combination of physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual symptoms. Effective relief is achieved through attention to all aspects of the individual.

VIDEO/TELEHEALTH THERAPY- I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in treating anxiety and depression related disorders. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we cannot seem to find a way out of our intense emotions. Sometimes we need someone to aid us in navigating through the dense fog we have now found ourselves. If you have noticed that your life has become increasingly limited due to feelings of anxiety or sadness, I may be able to help. I offer video/telehealth therapy services to anyone in the state of Texas. This way, no matter how busy life gets, you can receive effective treatment.

I am passionate about working with marriages and families whose relationships may be in crisis (broken trust; conflicted; disconnected) as well as stable families wanting deeper connection and relational intimacy. I help them see themselves and each other through a lens that includes the issues each person brought with them to the relationship, including ways their hearts and minds were impacted by relationships and situations experienced during their formative years.

Therapy is collaborative. As a therapist, I am a partner in my clients' self-explorations and a witness to their accomplishments. I provide a serene place where clients can rediscover or develop authentic selves, deepen emotional connections with self and others, recognize how thoughts, beliefs and values affect relationships, consider new ways of being in the world, develop healthier adaptive strategies when facing problems, and work through past and present past trauma, grief, and losses. You have the strengths you need to meet your full potential and achieve a satisfying life. I can help.

Andy earned his Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Texas State University - San Marcos in 2001. He believes the trusting relationship and a safe, nonjudgmental environment is vital in effective therapy. He utilizes solution-focused, CBT, relational, and person-centered techniques in his approach.

You know that something is not right. Maybe it is you who has changed, maybe you are in a relationship that suddenly is not meeting your needs. You are the expert on your self, and if you have the feeling that you are not yourself, or that something inside of you feels broken, trust your instincts. Someone once said to me, "The further we stray from our path, the more clearly we feel the disturbance." I would like to help you find your true self, your authentic self, and the path that you are meant to be on.

Do you struggle to feel good about your life and your future? Does something stand in the way of you relaxing and enjoying your life? Are painful memories or fearful thoughts preventing you from living the life you want? Good therapy can help you heal emotionally. You will feel better, more confident, more at peace, more ready to overcome challenges and live a more satisfying life as you better accept and appreciate who you really are. My strength as a therapist is that I adapt insights from the well-known therapies that work for other people, to custom design a therapy that works for you.

**WEEKEND/WEEKDAY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE**ONLINE SCHEDULING AVAILABLE** Humans need connection, it is in our DNA. We need connection with others and most importantly ourselves, especially when life feels overwhelming. I consider myself a guide in the journey of human connection, a collaborative partner on the path of life. You are doing the searching, I am just helping to point you in the right direction. Much of what we need is already inside us—strength, courage, clarity.

Feeling stressed out, off-balance and looking for a deeper sense of connection? I work with clients to move forward toward their dreams as they learn to focus energy on what inspires them. Together we will clear the clutter, accomplish daily goals, and travel toward a connected, meaningful life. I will walk with you to support you through what overwhelms you, pulls at you, and throws you off balance. Together we will develop your inner strength, define what is meaningful to you, and discover what is essential for growth as you find your center of gravity and sense of direction.

Ariell is an eclectic therapist that combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapeutic evidence-based approaches. The underlying principles in her approach are that treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem and more can be traced to experiences, beliefs of shame, and other negative core beliefs in an individual. Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counseling process. Ariell believes in providing a holistic counseling therapy process so you live a wholly present, healthy life.

*NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS* When people are struggling, traditional talk therapy alone has a lot to offer. It has power, but it has limitations. You may have heard of the mind/body connection and may even have experienced it for yourself. Its existence is increasingly supported by research and many therapists recommend yoga & mindfulness practices as add-ons to help the healing process, but what if you could get all of these benefits in one place? As a licensed professional counselor as well as a certified yoga teacher, I work with clients from both of these perspectives simultaneously, helping them get the most out of their therapy.
