Each of us has a point in which people, issues and situations can become overwhelming and we reach a breaking point. It is at this place I would like to meet you and help you through your difficulties to a place of healing and safety. The issues, situations and things that have happened to you do not have to define who you are as a person or continue to hold power over you.

Are you overwhelmed with your chronic pain, a chronic illness, or other health challenges and aren't sure if anyone understands your concerns? Do you feel like a burden to your family and friends? Consider getting an ally who can help you find hope and more effectively manage your situation.

I am 67 years young. I have been a clinical social worker/psychotherapist in the Brazos Valley since 1988. I have a good "grapevine" of local professionals, so I often help clients with information/referral to resources for on-going support beyond therapy. I welcome questions you may have. I can be reached by text at 979-255-7004 or email at ruthhelpertnunez@gmail.com. Also, please check out my Facebook page. I accept new clients as I have time slots available. I offer some evening appointments, as well as afternoon appointments, but no weekends. I will be semi-retiring in 2024, but will continue to maintain a small practice.

I have hope that everyone is capable of growth and change. I would like to help you in whatever challenges you are facing. Learning about myself and others has helped me grow. Life at best is always moving and changing, we must learn how to adapt and grow from the process.

My approach when meeting and treating new clients is simple: you are not alone. We will start there. I work with individuals, couples, and families that find themselves struggling with relationships, anger, depression, hopelessness, addictions of all sort, anxiety and everything in between. I want to walk alongside my clients to help them find their true selves and find meaning in whatever they do and whoever they intend to be. I use person-centered, cognitive-behavioral techniques, alongside skills building and mindfulness.

Stress is a natural result of facing life's challenges and necessary for growth. Finding balance allows us to manage stress. With 34 years of experience working with children, adults, couples and families, I can help you and those you love navigate the journey of growth and self-discovery, develop and prioritize strategies for achieving your goals and find balance. I start by performing a solution-focused interview to identify and build upon your unique strengths and resources. I have faith in the perseverance of the human spirit, given the right amount of time, support and the necessary tools.

As we go through life, we can experience difficulties and challenges. Reaching out to someone for help can be difficult so I commend you for doing so. As a therapist, I am here to listen and provide a safe space in which to share those concerns. Every person is unique so I take time to develop a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust while tailoring the therapy to each person. -Kristina Walters, MA, LPC

I often get asked, “What’s a good reason to seek counseling?” Or “Why do people go to counseling?” And the short answer is, “For lots of reasons.” If you’re feeling stuck, have experiences you’re wanting to sort through with someone, wanting to re-learn how to have healthy relationships with others or yourself, have experienced significant grief, trauma, or impacting experiences, or simply want to better understand what has shaped your life and desire to live a more integrated and full life, then I’d say come check it out. Emailing me is the best way to get a hold of me.
