Therapists in Madisonville, TX

I am passionate about helping individuals and families reach their unique, personal goals. I believe a client grows best when there is a positive therapeutic relationship built in a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere. Those who want to build interpersonal insight, increase self-awareness, and are willing to implement new skills will benefit most from therapy. The ability to visualize their desired outcome is an important part of the therapeutic journey for clients and is key in the redevelopment of their personal identity.

When seeking professional therapy services, you owe it to yourself to make an informed decision. At Stone Creek Psychotherapy, I assist individuals, couples, and families in creating strategies for positive change. While I've completed advanced training in various therapeutic techniques, I know that no single approach works every time for everyone. I provide experiences where together we can understand the issues at hand and what is needed in your specific situation for change to occur. In addition to discussion and exploration of issues contributing to your struggles, we may use assessments and interest surveys to increase understanding and awareness.

Someone once asked me, "Ashley, what is the number one thing that brings people to counseling?" I laughed and answered, "PEOPLE. People bring people to therapy!" We've all heard that adage: "People go to therapy for the people in their life that WON’T go to therapy”, and it's funny because it's absolutely true! As a professional counselor, I have never met someone who didn't have a story. Everyone has PEOPLE! Everyone has family struggles and relationship issues. Everyone has trouble processing emotions when they feel overwhelmed. Everyone needs someone to confide in and feel safe with, and that's what therapy can be for you.

Have you been lacking the support you need, support without judgement or criticism, and the support you likely have not gotten in the past? I work with my clients using my whole heart as you are likely seeking help due to suffering from adverse childhood experiences, large or small, that continue to impact you today. Trauma rears itself in our daily lives. It becomes the template to which we experience the world. You no longer have to live that way. Let me walk with you.

Reaching out for help can be terrifying especially when we're hurting. Throughout the past decade I've worked with University of Houston's Graduate College of Social Work, Menninger Clinic, The Council on Recovery and Montrose Center. I have specific interest in working with men and couples who are looking to deepen intimacy within themselves and in their relationships. As an educator and clinical supervisor, I offer guidance to students as they establish and fine-tune their love for this work. I commit myself to co-creating a therapeutic environment where safety and growth are of top priority. We are in this together.

Everyone has experienced a sleepless night where the burdens and worries of our lives have kept us tossing and turning. Many times those closest to us are the very ones we cannot turn to for help. This is all part of life. But when the tossing and the turning become a constant companion, and when family and close personal relationships become more stressful than supportive, we need a safe place to unburden our inner thoughts, worries and fears. This safe haven is where you can uncover new direction for your life and begin to move into wholeness, free of feeling fragmented.

With over seven years of experience working with patients in the medical field, children/families in child welfare and mental health institutions, you'll be attended to with the most up to date evidence based practice tools and methods.

Less than 16% of therapists in Texas are male, which may very well be why so many men don’t go to therapy. I specialize in men’s issues including fatherhood, life transitions and stigma. Additionally, families often need support when raising their children. I work with families and children through difficult transitional times, such as grief, school anxiety, college transitions, and family communication.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS across the U.S. (Psypact states). Life can get stressful and hard at times, so can navigating societal, work, and family issues especially if you’re a person of color, immigrant, child of immigrants or LGBTQIA. Life transitions also require us to accept change but sometimes that may be hard and we can feel “stuck”. My priority is to help you achieve YOUR goals in a way that resonates with who you are, your beliefs, and with your values. I have extensive years of clinical, research, and assessment experience and will provide evidence-based treatment in a supportive, accepting, and collaborative relationship.

When life becomes overwhelming and confusing, reaching out for help takes courage but this is the first step to a happier life. I can help you sort through the confusion by working with you to achieve success and reach your goals. You do not have to go through this alone. My style of therapy is interactive and focused on helping you effectively respond to challenging situations.

Life can sometimes be complicated. Workplace stress, relationship challenges, financial difficulty and complicated family issues can become overwhelming, especially when you feel fatiqued, anxious, depressed, confused or alone. You may even begin to lose hope for the possibility of ever getting what you want and living a happy, productive life. A counselor can help you identify the root of the problems and develop steps toward their resolution. There is no reason to struggle through another day alone. Reach out for the support you need and we will work together to move you towards living the life you want to live.

You may have a goal of living a meaningful life in all its richness and seeking help with interpersonal or mental health symptom related concerns? Depression, anxiety, history of trauma? Are you, your family or relations journeying through life transitions or in need of support related to medical-health concerns? There are times in life when it feels like you are barely keeping your head above water. Not a fun feeling! More importantly, I work with compassion, empathy, and am non-judgmental, while creating a safe space for you to explore and understand.
