Domestic Abuse Therapists in 78703

I work with individuals and families who are struggling with difficult issues such as depression, divorce, or mental illness. Conflicts, within and between people, lie at the core of emotional distress. Divorce, depression, substance abuse make setting healthy boundaries difficult, and before the individual knows it, he or she is living in a state of compromise. I focus on people who are wanting to get out of a compromised state and build healthy relationships that protect personal space and are conducive to reciprocity.

I help individuals navigate life challenges that have created a negative impact in their lives and present, such as childhood trauma, domestic violence, grief, depression, and anxiety. I enjoy working with adults that want to find a way to heal from past experiences and start implementing changes to better their future.

If you struggle with loneliness, depression and anxiety. If you struggle in your relationships to feel fulfilled and nourished because of experiences in your childhood, we are a good fit! This can include parental neglect, alcoholism, abandonment, and abuse. You function well but often times feel that it is not enough and feel that you just aren't doing things the right way.

We work together to find what suits you and your needs.

Athletic culture often praises the ability to do it all, however, we all experience issues that cannot be masked or pushed aside. I provide athletes a place of understanding support to work through issues such as eating concerns, body image, anxiety, depression, injury, post-sports career, relationships, substance use, or traumatic events. Athletes devote tremendous time and energy to physical training, and I believe intentionality with mental health is just as important for improving quality of life, and for improved sports performance.

Are you exhausted from carrying around memories of the past? Do you tend to not feel good enough and like you don't belong? Overwhelmed from all the changes in your life? I understand you're here because you're hurting and tired of the struggle. Your relationships with friends and loved ones are probably hurting too. I would love to help you make sense of everything that is going on and find new and compassionate ways of living.

But you're not broken, and you don’t have to live this way. Let's work to improve your relationship with yourself and with others. I help others find clarity of thought, peace of mind, and a sense of calm and liberation from internal and external conflict. Now it's your turn.

The ideal therapy client would present with a range of issues that you are willing to explore and work on. These could include challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, unresolved trauma, personal growth barriers, career issues, or coping with life transitions. You recognize that therapy is a valuable resource for gaining insight, acquiring new tools, and making lasting positive changes. You seek personal understanding, transformation, and improved overall well-being. Life's journey can often lead us through challenging terrains, but you don't have to navigate them alone.

It is important to me to approach therapy and to understand a person, from a well-rounded, holistic point of view. This means that I aim to learn about you as a multi-faceted human, to understand you within the varying contexts you exist in, and within the many different (past and present) relationships in your life. I believe it is imperative to understand the whole person (physical, mental, emotional) so that I have a complete understanding and can tailor treatment to your individual unique needs. I use a client-centered and integrated approach to meet your needs in therapy.

I have knowledge and practice of many prominent counseling theories and will adapt my counseling approach to your needs and goals. I tend to implement a solution-focused approach in order to not only focus in on what your goals are, but also to get you to those goals as quickly as possible. While we develop solutions for your goals, I tend to think outside of the box and try to find unique solutions that are catered to you individually.

"Why is this so hard? We love each other, but we can't stop fighting." I understand the hopelessness of living in a cycle of conflict. I became a couples therapist because I believe deeply in the importance of having a supportive and loving relationship--with yourself and with your partner. I will help you learn how to stop when anger, fear and hurt cause you to react in defensive and aggressive ways toward your partner. By slowing down and taking care of yourself first, you will gradually learn how to connect from a more vulnerable and honest place, creating a more satisfying and peaceful relationship together.

Deciding to take those initial first steps toward seeking help through psychotherapy can be challenging. Some initial concerns may include, "How will I know if the therapist is competent?" "What if they judge me?" "Will I feel comfortable telling them what I am really feeling and thinking?" These concerns are extremely common in trying to find the right therapist for you. The key phrase is "the right therapist for YOU..." Everyone is different with different needs. I encourage you to read about my experience and the services I provide in to see if I may be the right therapist for you.

As a counselor, my utmost priority is to be able to provide my clients with a space where they can feel safe to be who they are without judgment or expectation. I believe that everyone has the potential to be the best version of themselves. I am an avid lover of anime, video games, and K-pop which I include in my therapeutic practice. I love using examples from pop culture as a means to relate to my clients and/or provide them with a different perspective. I love to incorporate video games in session. The video game itself can either be a therapeutic tool that we can use to learn more about you or can be a means to break the ice.
