Therapists in Comanche County, TX

Hello! Perhaps you are searching Psychology Today for a loved one or for yourself, or simply to acquaint yourself with counseling. I commend for exploring your options. I have over nine years of experience providing therapy for a variety of issues. When clients begin therapy, many of them are searching for a space to fully express themselves and to process their struggles. Many are looking for a safe person to confide in without feeling judged. My hope is that you find that here and begin to identify ways to move forward.

The Telos Project is a non profit public benefit corporation whose ongoing aim is removing barriers to therapeutic, mental health and community services in the state of Texas. Our ultimate objective is to reduce individual psychological turmoil and empower the communities we serve. We serve clients of any age, gender, or orientation on all aspects of daily life and functioning.

Each morning when I open my eyes, I say to myself: 'I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead; tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.'" ~Groucho Marx. I decided long ago that life is too short to feel miserable or to live in fear. I have since been in recovery for over 10 years! Today, I live my life differently, and, I can tell you, it's worth it. If you're ready to join me on this journey, give me a call.

Being an amazing black female therapist means embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity. It means acknowledging the unique struggles that marginalized communities face and actively working to provide support, understanding, and healing. It means using my platform to advocate for equality, justice, and mental health awareness. My goal is to break down barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health within the black community and to provide accessible and culturally sensitive care.

Veronica focuses on creating a healthy environment where clients can feel cared for, pressure-free and understood. Being able to help clients to find a safe place where they can connect with themselves is her passion and motivation. She decided to become a Licensed Professional Counselor when she realized the need for counseling services for minority populations and vulnerable communities. Veronica desires to help people from different backgrounds, cultural and sexual identities, financial situations, and life experiences.

I am currently offering both telehealth options via a phone or video session, as well as in person counseling. I work with clients of all ages, from those under 12 who need play therapy to those who may be retired. I love the variety of all ages! I see clients struggling with depression, anxiety, anger issues, grief, marital issues, and a number of others. You deserve to live a meaningful and fulfilling life, not just surviving day to day. My hope is to come along side of you on this path we call life and guide you to become your best self!

My practice is geared towards providing counseling services to young children (with a focus on age 2-4), as well as clients recovering from issues related to COMPLEX trauma. (See www.nctsn.org/what-is-child-trauma/trauma-types/complex-trauma). I am a Registered Play Therapist and a Certified Animal-Assisted Play Therapist (accompanied by a therapy dog and a therapy cat.) I am trained in SMART (Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Therapy), developed for children with complex trauma, and I am provisionally certified as a Drumbeat facilitator.

Have you ever felt misunderstood, forgotten, out of place, or like you just weren't being seen or heard? Believe me, I have been where you are and understand what you may be experiencing.
