Therapists in Copperas Cove, TX

"Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations."- Brené Brown. Counseling can feel intimidating, nerve-racking, and desperate; I get it. And the reality is we cannot live life alone and we cannot heal alone. We need each other for support, encouragement, empowerment and restoration. My role as a counselor is to partner with you in your journey toward integrated wholeness and health and to provide you a safe space to be vulnerable, courageous, real and imperfect; for you to come as you are and to just be.

I am a fully bilingual (English/Spanish) mental health and rehabilitative therapist offering individual, family, and couples counseling with culturally competent care. I have experience working with adolescents and adults whom have tried all they know to improve mood and decrease maladaptive behaviors. With psychotherapy and psycho-education I will introduce coping skills to improve your positive self-talk and communication with others to feel empowered and problem solve.

My passion is working with people struggling with some of the many challenges that life brings.

Since 2018, I have utilized person-centered and strength-based practices to promote the "Power of Self." These practices empower individuals to direct their therapeutic process.

I also provide therapy services to individuals exploring their sexuality; sexually fluent; and those that are experiencing a decrease or increase in sexual functioning.

Stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and drama...We have all encountered them! But, you don't have to face these common life difficulties alone. I am here to help. With extensive training and experience, I provide a compassionate, confidential, and non-judgmental environment that is safe for you. Though it is sometimes necessary to look at history, I believe that time and energy are better spent focusing on where you're going rather than where you've been. No, we cannot re-write your past but we can work together to write the future you want. Let's begin your next chapter!

I'm here to help people needing support in navigating through life's difficult situations. Do you need help with personal growth, or guidance to feel more like your true self. My aim is to provide a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings to reach your goals. Sometimes talking or seeing things from a different point of view helps ideas fall into place. Natural supplements and coping skills assist with sleeping, pain, and emotional duress. Relationship problems tend to be eased by talking things through and using adapted materials in session and/or homework.

Hello, my name is Lisa Parker. I work with individuals, couples, and families. My approach to counseling is warm and friendly. I believe in person-centered therapy. This means that together, we work through whatever you bring to the session.

Counseling is a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. Through counseling, the therapist and client work together to explore the client's inner world. The goal is to increase self-awareness and facilitate change in the client's life. Effective therapy requires that the counselor exhibits respect, authenticity, genuineness, empathy, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard. These qualities are at the heart of therapy and facilitate a healthy connection that allows true healing to occur. I believe the counselor must look at the client through a holistic healing frame of reference.
