Therapists in Comfort, TX

Life can and will have its challenging seasons. I am here to provide a safe space and listening ear. I have experience working with clients who are processing a wide variety of different issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, emotional/physical abuse, behavior issues, grief and loss, and trauma.

I have over 25 years experience in treating mental health needs. I work with clients of all ages. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma but work with a variety of other issues as well. I utilize an integrative approach tailored to each client including utilizing play therapy with children. I have experience in individual, family, and group therapy.

You are so close to feeling better! I am highly trained and experienced in treating eating disorders, exercise addiction, poor body image, body dysmorphia, and poor self-esteem. Clients appreciate my strengths-based and client-centered approach. I often work from interpersonal, family systems, and culturally-informed perspectives. Clients find me genuine, attentive, and compassionate, and I thoroughly enjoy building a relationship with my clients through engaged listening, authentic connection, and hospitable warmth. Clients often mention that I provide a sense of trust and security through my attenuation and depth of conversation.

Change is inevitable. Pain is probable. Suffering is optional. Many of us already have the strength to manage change but need a little help finding the courage and confidence. That is why I take a collaborative, flexible, transformational, dynamic, and strength-based approach to empower clients to face life’s circumstances. I could help equip you with just tools to tackle your personal and professional obstacles or I can work alongside you and through dialogue help you to develop your own tools for long term sustainable strategies and an independent and purposeful life.

The path forward. That's how we think of therapy at Discovery Counseling. We're here to help you navigate the highs and lows. The challenges and triumphs. That means the hard stuff and the big transitions. The persistent issues and the seemingly small stuff too. Experience tells us that you've got all the skills and smarts you need to thrive. So we'll help you find your path and we'll follow it alongside you. Whether you're searching for mental health, career aspirations, family healing or nutrition counseling, we're here to help tap into your inner wisdom and set out on the next phase of your journey.

Telehealth only. Dr. Stephanie Torres is a bilingual (Spanish) licensed psychologist who provides individual, couple, family, and group therapy. Her approach is inclusive, synergetic, and trauma-informed. She strives to create a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment where everyone is treated with respect, uniqueness, egalitarianism, and anti-racism. She aims to help clients promote personal growth, overcome challenges, transitions, and difficulties in life, and facilitate the emotional and healing process.

I already know you are worthy of a life full of joy. You are innately deserving of love and compassion, though you may have learned that you’re not enough. While you’re doing your best with the tools you have now, with nonjudgmental support and guidance, you can grow and flourish. Together, we will develop a healing partnership where you can feel safe when vulnerable, comforted in your struggles, and encouraged as you are guided toward what you need to feel more secure in the world. Empowering and personalized therapy is where we start.

Feeling overwhelmed? The stress of relationships, family, finances, and work can often reduce our ability to enjoy life. These stresses and experiences can leave us drained and feeling helpless. You can experience a healthier, happier life. Together we can create a healthy balance.

A sense of belonging. Feeling seen and understood. Feeling comfortable with your actions and responses to loved ones, co-workers, and acquaintances. To make meaning of how your life has gone so far and, perhaps, find some peace within your story. Sometimes these real, human desires can feel daunting without some support... My approach is extremely genuine, compassionate, and ... real. I have many years of experience working with clients who have encountered challenges in life transitions, identity/sexuality, relationships, historical family trauma, depression/anxiety, and questioning what it means to live their truth in life.

When you need help with life's challenges, whether it be parenting, relationships, children's behavior problems or issues holding you back from you or your family's full potential, please give me a call. I can help you learn how to cope with life's challenges and the feelings and behaviors that accompany them. Together, I can help you understand the issues and offer ideas to balance your life and restore relationships effected by your challenges. I can offer insight and ideas for resiliency for you and your family.

Whether one seeks relief from anxiety, trauma, relational impasses, or life disillusionment, therapy can help. It is unfortunate that insufficiently engaged approaches to therapy, prohibitive rates, and the unconscionable reluctance of most clinicians to accept insurance fail so many clients, who in good faith seek to discover a healing of heart and mind. As a psychodynamic therapist, I view my role as an empathic change agent employed to help bring about a fuller knowledge of self and a more liberated experience of life and relationship. I also supervise highly promising interns from NWU available for as low as $15-30 per session.

Are you and your partner stuck in the negative loop of repeatedly fighting about the same issues without ever resolving anything? Do you believe if your partner just changed x, y &/or z... you would finally be happy? Has your relationship 'gone off in the ditch' and you need some help getting it back on the road? I specialize in teaching concrete and practical skills that are easily applied to every day life - skills needed to create and maintain a healthy relationship based on mature love and respect. If you want a lasting, loving relationship let's get started today!

I believe that people change when we feel safe.  Through a genuine and trust-centered therapy relationship, my job is to create room for exploration and self-acceptance so that my clients’ lives can improve. Many of my clients have difficult family relationships, struggle with boundaries, and are working on finding love from within, rather than externally. I help them discover how to create a life with more love, patience, and peace.

Have you tried everything to understand or fix a problem, but it just keeps showing up? I believe complicated problems require complex understanding. I aim to help every client gain greater insight into themselves and the dynamics at play in their life, relationships, and experience. Insight alone can have a powerful and significant impact on progress and is at the heart of my work. However, lasting change often also requires learning and trying new ways of interacting with the world. I offer information, suggestions, and encouragement to assist you in feeling, thinking, and, ultimately, living better.

We all go through complicated situations, some of which we don’t feel adequately prepared to handle. Most of us were never taught how to navigate these difficult struggles in healthy, constructive ways. That's why we are here. My clinical team works with a diverse variety of clientele to provide affordable counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. We want to work with you to help you overcome obstacles that you are facing, improve on aspects in your current life situation, and provide a sense of strength and hope during times that you may feel lost. Please call us for a free phone consultation.

Life is a journey, taking us on a path that is unique as we are. This path can be truly inspiring, fulfilling, and meaningful. However, when we encounter challenges that bring stress, anxiety, depression, and conflict, we can feel overwhelmed. Courageously facing these internal and external obstacles with the help of a caring professional can help us feel confident again that we are progressing on life's journey in the ways that matter most. I specialize in helping families, couples, and individuals clarify their goals, increase awareness, and improve the skills required to create the life they desire.

I specialize in working with teens and young adults around the issues of trauma, adoption, substance use, depression, self-harm, family conflict, and life transitions. I know these time periods in life are especially challenging, and no problem is too big or too small for therapy. I am here as a resource to handle the extreme life events, or if you simply need to process. If you are feeling like you don't know what could possibly make life more manageable or how to stop behaviors that are no longer helpful, I can be of help. Teens and young adults are my passion, and I have seen I am able to deeply connect with them.

Are you looking to feel more joy, connection and authenticity in your life? Have you struggled to connect with your sense of agency, power and efficacy? Serving individuals and couples who seek to establish healthier relationship dynamics with themselves and others is a true gift. My passion for this work is rooted in my genuine appreciation and respect for anyone who embarks on the journey of self discovery. In addition to my work with individuals and couples, I offer consultations with parents & caregivers looking to increase harmony and decrease difficult behaviors in their homes with their children.

I'm a Kink Aware Professional and believe that relationships and sex are building blocks to our lives no matter in what form they come. I have experience working with a variety of sexual and relational issues and have worked with people from varying backgrounds, from BDSM to open marriage.
