Family Therapy in 78753

Are you struggling with recent life transitions? Not sure how to break the cycle of yo-to dieting or how to manage frequent, anxious thoughts? At Autonomy Therapy, we provide high quality, evidence-based care to support our clients in learning how to strengthen their mind-body connection and become the most authentic, resilient versions of themselves. The therapy that our clinicians provide empowers our clients to develop increased trust with their own thoughts, emotions, and decisions, and supports them in identifying what an intentional, autonomous, and values-based life truly looks and feels like.

Different stages of life can bring different challenges to the surface, and all of them are equally valid. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, cultural/sexual identity, multigenerational/family of origin conflict, and prenatal/postpartum issues. I provide a gentle, curious, and collaborative style to encourage my clients to cultivate their internal resilience in a safe environment. I trust the client to be the authentic expert of their own lives, and view my role as a reflective mirror and resourceful companion.

As athletes, it's easy to forget that if we don't mind our mental health, we can feel detached from ourselves, team, and loved ones. In the world of athletics, this happens all too often. Sometimes, we can turn to friends, family, mentors to help us turn it around. Other times, we need additional help. As a former Division 1 & professional athlete, as well as a coach at the club and collegiate levels, I provide a safe and empathetic space for athletes, coaches, and their families to work through challenges. After beginning this work at Baylor Athletics, I strive to continue investing in wellness for the athletic community.

My name is Martha Ballesteros. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My focus in practice is primarily on substance use, addiction, codependency, co-occurring disorders, cultural identity, and family systems. My clinical practice experience is primarily with individuals dealing with substance abuse issues and with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. My approach in proving therapy is to provide a judgement-free and safe zone for others. Seeking therapy can be a challenging step and I would like for you to feel comfortable. I primarily focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling lost or alone and wonder where we might find support for the complex issues we face in life. In therapy, you can come exactly as you are and be met with the compassion and understanding that every life deserves. As a Marriage and Family Therapy Associate, I believe in healing through authentic connections and validating relationships that reinforce our sense of worth. I am passionate about inspiring meaningful change and helping clients to become more integrated, grounded, and connected within themselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience, licensed both Texas and Louisiana. A graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington, I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors. I see individuals, couples, and families in the Telehealth setting. A Certified Family & Divorce Mediator, my skills and experience allow me to be compassionate, ethical, and effective. I am also certified in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) which targets managing stress in Critical Incidents and abnormal situations, helping with the “healing process” so that the likelihood of long-term trauma is lessened.

Sometimes in life, we experience hardships where friends, family, and community are simply not enough to get us through. We often question why me or what did I do to deserve this and now is your opportunity to explore those thoughts and feelings. As a mental health professional, my goal is to create a space for healing, processing, and growth. You can expect me to bring my true and authentic self into sessions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I provide therapy online via a HIPAA-compliant platform.

Experiencing life changes, grief or loss often prompts us to seek counseling. As a counselor, my aim is to support and empower clients in making positive changes. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can find meaning in their challenges and grow from their experiences. I believe that with the guidance and respect of a counselor, people can overcome obstacles and discover their inner strength. Together, we work towards aligning actions, goals, and lifestyles with personal values, fostering authenticity and fulfillment. Integrity serves as my guiding principle throughout the therapeutic journey.

I believe there is always hope. Hope to reach balance. Hope to reach peace. Hope to heal. Hope to grow. With the help of a strong therapeutic relationship and appropriate interventions, I believe individuals can learn more about themselves through exploring past and present life occurrences. Within that process, present and future doubts, fears, or concerns can simultaneously be addressed.

Do you feel like you're stuck in a rut? Are you unhappy? Does your anger get in the way of enjoying meaningful relationships? Tired of feeling out of tune with life? I believe happiness is the direct result of being in tune with one's mental and physical well being. When we understand that one has a tremendous impact on the other, only then can we begin to move towards building resiliency. My office hours will consist of evenings after 530pm to 11pm and Sat to Sun from 8pm to 5pm

Are you facing challenges in your personal life that's impacting your relationships? Do you often feel these challenges leave you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or confused? I work collaboratively with clients, to help identify and achieve their goals. I sincerely strive to be a source of strength, hope, and empowerment for my clients. I have experience and enjoy working with a broad and diverse group of people; children, adolescents, individual adults, couples, and families. Issues I am passionate about are; trauma, grief, family/romantic relationships, anxiety, effective communication skills, depression, and life transitions.

I offer individual, couples and group psychotherapy to adults, taking an integrative holistic approach to treatment. I work with adults navigating challenges with anxiety, OCD, depression, family/relationship conflicts, trauma, women's issues, low self-esteem, impulsivity, and life transitions. My expertise is in integrative psychotherapy, where I draw from a variety of modalities, including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, ACT, relational and strengths-based approaches to provide individualized treatment. If aligned, I also draw from transpersonal psychology and spiritual practices in my work.

In my practice I see clients of all ages, for therapy and testing/evaluations. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse/dependence, behavior disorders and family systems issues. Most of my clients present with a combination of symptoms. I tailor treatment to the specific needs of the client and use research proven techniques to meet the needs of the individual, or family, in a collaborative setting. I teach healthy coping skills to address a wide range of symptoms.

I tend to be a good fit for people recovering from or currently struggling with an emotionally abusive person, such as a Narcissist. We want to unbind ourselves from the resultant negative patterns, anxiety, shame, depression, confusion and/or limiting self talk. We may find ourselves attracted to partners, friends, and even careers where we feel unhappy, inauthentic, & exhausted. Perhaps we have becomel codependent, misuse substances, or neglect our health. Our goals are met with road blocks. Practicing boundaries, improving self-esteem, and working through our fears heals wounds, releases shame, and promotes mindful choices.

I am secular (non-religious) and affirming of LGBTQ+ clients, and I often work with adults wanting to process their family of origin issues. I believe in the power of the therapist-client relationship and the importance of having a safe, supportive space that allows you to sort through your thoughts and feelings. I believe that much of each client's work faces them in the choices and decisions they make in their life in-between our sessions. Clients who want to grow in mindful awareness of their patterns and choices in life will be good fits. Awareness is a key step toward healthy functioning.

We offer individual/family therapy for clients ages 15 to 100+. Our therapeutic team is trained and experienced in assisting clients with a wide range of concerns. Service areas range from general life transitions and coaching, to include divorce and parenting issues, to PTSD. We have therapists trained in EMDR as well as trauma focused therapeutic techniques, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Positive Psychology and talk therapy just to name a few. centraltexascounselingeducation.com

In life we all face obstacles that can leave us confused, scared and even anxious. These obstacles can affect our emotional state, our relationships with loved ones and even our careers. My desire is to help clients address these obstacles and reach their full potential. I will use a technical integration approach of researched based theoretical modalities to meet each clients individual needs.

I strive to provide a comfortable environment to honor your feelings and needs, where you can share challenges, celebrations, and everything in-between. I work with individual adults, couples, and families encountering interpersonal conflict, traumatic events, body image issues, disordered eating habits, and relational issues. I also work with clients facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

You’re here because you need help. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and relationship dysfunction can stifle and hide the person you truly are. You feel inhibited, pressured, and isolated, but throughout it all you know there is still something amazing within you. What stops you from being your true self when alone or around others? What stops you from knowing how to take care of yourself? This is what I can explore with you. I want to help you shed what is holding you back and illuminate pain that may be keeping you comfortably stagnant. I want the world to meet who you are.
