Therapists in Fredericksburg, TX

When you were young, did you ever promise yourself that your long-term relationship wasn't going to end up like the ones you saw in your family? You didn't want to have to argue all of the time, you wanted open and vulnerable communication where you and your partner could be yourself, and you definitely did not want any heated arguments, loneliness, or resentment. You thought if you married your best friend, asked the right questions, figured out your careers and values, and communicated enough, you could avoid the discontent you saw in other couples. And now you are here, despite your best efforts.

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.

When you are struggling, one of the most difficult things to do is ask for help. It takes courage, faith, and trust to reach out when life feels unmanageable or overwhelming. Yet taking that one step is often the very best thing you can do for yourself and those you love. I provide compassionate, competent counseling to teens and adults in individual, and family/group settings. I use individualized talk, play, and EMDR techniques to help clients set therapeutic goals and reach them.

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 served in the nonprofit world for years prior to my work with repeat offenders. I have coordinated groups for those struggling with substance use and anger management. I have worked in a correctional facility, where I had much exposure to those in crisis and with acute mental illness. Now, I mostly work with adults addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, and everyday stress. I am very family-oriented and have always prioritized the importance of relationships. As a licensed professional counselor, I provide a safe place for you to work on the most important relationship- the one you have with yourself.

I love what I do! I am a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and caring individual who has gone through painful life experiences myself and have likewise experienced the freedom and peace of healing. I am an experienced, skillful clinician who treats adults, adolescents, and children who are experiencing anxiety, insecurity, nightmares, depression, emotional reactions to trauma, stress, grief, guilt, and/or anger. I diagnose and treat children's' issues including ADHD, separation anxiety, divorce issues, anxiety, depressive disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, behavioral, social, school, or academic problems. I teach parents to implement structure & behavioral techniques that really work!

I am a therapist who will make myself available to you. My approach to therapy is simple . . . person (you) centered, though I use others (cognitive behavioral, eclectic, reality/choice, brief solution, etc.) based upon the need of the client. I have a proven track record of success in helping clients from a variety of backgrounds. My main goal is helping you and or your family find effective solutions. Know that I bring an attitude of providing impeccable person centered therapy to each every client and session.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to take that first step in beginning to understand your story. Let me help you take that first step in discovering who you are. In life, we are faced with many challenges that impact all areas of our lives and those challenges can leave us at a loss in knowing how to navigate the next step. Whether the next step is for yourself, your marriage, or your family, you do not have to walk it alone.

I often work with individuals who utilize externals to numb their feelings (whether that be drugs, alcohol, relationships), and people who may have been taught to ignore their own wants and needs in order to fulfill their role of taking care of others. This disconnect from your emotional experience has the ability to isolate you from those around you, often leading to misunderstanding and conflict in relationships. My goal is to help you gain insight into your own internal experience in order to better understand yourself, and to be better understood by those around you.

If you're someone with a unique identity who is navigating anxiety and life transitions, and wanting to work with a therapist who understands your story - I'm here to help! Through our work together, I can help you redefine who you are - not just who other people want you to be. You might be a good fit to work with me: if you are exploring your identity as a 2SLGBTQ+ person. If you are a third culture kid or part of an immigrant family. If you're a perfectionist or people-pleaser. If you're reclaiming your sense of self. This is the place for you!

Being a human is hard. Therapy and finding a good fit in a counselor is hard. You deserve a space that recognizes your unique story, journey, and needs. My counseling is holistic, compassion-focused, trauma-informed, and attachment based. I believe gaining trust for yourself and for your cultivated relationships is a stop on the path towards wellness. Showing up to counseling takes strength, so I trust your feedback in session. I love forming a strong, safe therapeutic relationship with clients that is full of authenticity.

My focus is to work on what you want to work on. I trust that you know yourself better than I do and as a result my job is to help you get to where you are going or want to be. My job is to provide you the psychoeducation, coping skills and encouragement to meet your goals. I tell all my clients that I am not around forever but just for right now. And there will come a point where you have the tools necessary to no longer need professional assistance.

My name is Elise Manning and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I know life happens in ways that are not always kind to us. As a result, I hope to help you better understand how you show up as you move through whatever is happening in life while also finding new ways of doing so. My style takes a humanistic approach and utilizes a variety of different techniques to help you spark change.

I completed my Master's Degree in Agency Counseling from the University of Nebraska in Kearney in 1987. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas.
