Therapists in Bertram, TX

It feels like your teen is living life through a screen and you don't know what to do. You used to set screen time limits and watch what your child did online. They became a teenager, and it got harder. Then the pandemic happened, and they had to be on a screen all the time. As things have gotten safer and are back to “normal”, you noticed your teen’s screen habits have remained the same. They spend more and more time online and less and less time in person with family or friends. You don’t know what to do. Whenever you try to restrict their time online it doesn't lead to them leaving the house or making friends.

Do you feel your ideal self when you see your reflection? Do you have those thoughts of feeling stuck? Are you struggling with moving forward from a past event, or maybe you know what you want, but feel it is unattainable? I can help by listening to your needs and goals and providing evidence based treatment, education and tools to help you “unstuck” yourself. Together we will dive into identifying the culprit or culprits and work towards finding balance.

Hey friend, I see you. I see your desire to get after your goals that have been living inside your head for a while now. Analysis paralysis plagues you, resulting in feeling stuck where your feet lie. I see the mental load you carry day in and day out. I see all the things you strive hard for; the endless pursuit to do better for yourself or in your relationship. Yet somehow, the daily grind overtakes the strides toward the success you so desperately long for. I get it. I deeply do. I am here to bring the awareness that you have the choice to change your current situation. You can choose to rewrite your story.

I work from the belief that the human body and mind work together and constantly strive to find an inner peace and balance through self-healing. My role as a counselor is to help you create self-awareness, to facilitate the healing process, and to support you on your journey to finding your inner peace and life satisfaction. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and adolescents, addressing a wide range of challenges. 

At times, life can feel so heavy that it feels difficult to breath. It’s times like this when we’re overwhelmed with emotion and/or a negative internal voice and often feel alone. You deserve to be heard and seen in a safe, collaborative space. I provide a compassionate place to rest your heart and mind to help you process your feelings. Together, we identify your intentions while honoring your struggles with authenticity and compassionately explore what gets in way of what you would like for yourself. I look forward to connecting with you!

My practice is focused on working with young adults to navigate this stage of life's challenges, including identity exploration, higher education & career, relationships, and family changes. With so many unique changes and choices, our stress and emotions can become difficult to handle on our own. You may be feeling in need of new coping skills, a deeper understanding of and healing from past experiences, or more clarity on who you are and what you want your life to look like.

Hi, and welcome! My name is Ann and I'm a Licensed Master of Social Work or LMSW. I support children, teens, couples, and pregnant and postpartum people in navigating through life transitions. Therapy is a creative process that empowers us to be the authors of our stories. I collaborate with my clients to write new narratives as we explore overwhelming thoughts and feelings, conflict and relationships, and grief and traumatic loss. You are the expert of your experiences. We'll work together to discover what works best for you and your family.

Grief is something we all face in life, but each person experiences it differently. Sometimes it’s due to the death of a loved one. Other times, however, it’s due to the loss of your country, your health, your plans for a family, or another important pillar of your life. You may be finding that this feels much different than you expected it to—rather than just feeling sad, you feel angry, impatient, constantly on edge. You’re tired of people telling you “they know how you feel” (they don’t) or that you’re “so strong” (you don’t feel that way). Your world has been permanently changed, and you’re not sure how to move forward.

If you are experiencing difficulty in communicating with those who matter most to you, you’ve come to the right place. I will provide you with a safe space and a non-judgmental environment. Regardless of how new or old these painful experiences are, I am here to help you and assure quality treatment so that your journey through life will be lighter and a more positive experience. I enjoy working with clients experiencing addiction, shame, grief, trauma, and familial abuse, families coping with new or existing illness, and clients in substance abuse recovery.

Your relationship with yourself and others cause you to suffer in ways that your friends can't fully comprehend. Feelings of failure, insecurity, anxiety and depression have left you feeling like a stranger in your own life. You question yourself, wondering if you've done something wrong... whether there's something you should be doing differently. Friends and family are trying to be helpful with their advice, but it often leaves you feeling worse. Some days you have hope and others you feel you are in true despair. You are desperate to make sense of it all, and you don't know where to turn.

Hi there. First, I'd like to wish you well -- especially as you work with a psychotherapist. In the 10+ years that I've been practicing, I've learned that each person and each relationship is unique, so I've developed a variety of ways to approach psychotherapy and relationship therapy that help individuals to heal and help couples to relate. By working with thoughts and feelings, with mind and with heart, people can move through what is in the way, blocking them from feeling better and being better. I'm absolutely honored to help with that movement.

You deserve a therapist who can not only make you feel safe and heard but who you get along with. I see clients for issues such as anxiety, family conflict, relationships, and trauma, and I specialize in working with religious trauma and cult recovery. Lets work together to help you get what you want out of this short life.

I am a licensed psychologist in the Central Austin area. I have vast experience counseling adolescent and adult clients in individual, couples and family therapy. This experience has shown me that individuals can learn to cope with life's problems more efficiently and effectively. Therapy is a life-enriching process that often helps people become more attuned to themselves, others and the environment such that life feels more meaningful and coherent.

You crave balance and joy in your career and your family. You worry about whether you are "doing it right," this balancing act of motherhood, relationships, and career growth. Expectations of yourself and others sometimes create unbearable stress and pressure.

Truth be told: "You matter. I'm here to listen & help. It's ok to speak your truth, and seek ways to feel better. Your story is yours to tell/change/pause/continue.

Colin, MFT, MA, LPC, an experienced psychotherapist, & mental health practitioner. well-prepared, to provide counseling therapy services & supportive assistance in a non-judgmental, open-minded, tolerant way.

People who face serious life transitions, developmental hurdles, and a dark night of the soul, are those who I would love to work with. If you are trying to find the motivation and energy to heal and grow, our work in counseling could be just the thing to get you moving in a healthier direction. I have a deep interest in the phenomenon of addiction and recovery, whether to substances or process (behavioral) addictions. I can also attend to those who have been affected by addiction in family of origin, or their loved ones, past and current.

"ITS OKAY TO BE SCARED, BEING SCARED MEANS YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY BRAVE." Mandy Hale. Sometimes people struggle with the idea of going to see a therapist and finding the one that is right for them. Having rapport with your counselor is the most important thing. Once there is rapport with your counselor, the conversations will not feel forced/coerced ...you get to be in the present and work on why you came to therapy to begin with. Each person is unique, so I will use a variety of techniques to meet your presenting issue.
