Therapists in Medina County, TX

What do you hope would be better about yourself, about your life, about your marriage, about your family? This is my chief focus as a therapist. I get to the heart of what you really want and hope for in the first session, beginning with the end in mind. I believe hope is an essential mechanism for change in human beings. Hope drives us to accomplish the greatest feats in our lives. I have assisted people in striving for hope during my times in ministry, youth work, crisis response and in the counseling setting. I work with individuals, couples and families. I especially enjoy helping couples get back to having a hopeful marriage.

Emotional health difficulties are like a cold, everyone gets them from time to time. However, if the cold goes on for weeks or keeps on getting worse, you should probably see a healthcare professional. This is true for our emotional health as well. If we want to be healthy, we have to take care of ourselves: body, mind and soul. Psychotherapy is medical treatment and care intended to relieve or heal the soul. It is a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, healing and wholeness. I have 20 years of experience supporting and guiding clients in a variety of areas including mental health, health care, disability and family services.

I believe that we are created with potential for balance and harmony, however, life is not always easy, we may struggle at times to reach this balance. When we get "stuck" or face difficult challenges, we must first identify which areas of life need adjusting or strengthening, and then, we set out to make the necessary changes. Whether it is physical, emotional, spiritual or mental unbalance, we can positively impact our lives by starting to work in one area, and, since they are all connected, the rest will follow. The mind-body connection is undeniable, research and science favor an integrated approach to behavioral health.

My name is Mandi and I view our work together as a partnership where we are both equals collaborating to work towards the change you are seeking in your life. Whether we work together in one one-on-one therapy sessions or I support you by sharing other mental health resources through Zessio, you are welcome here. I arrive at our sessions as a curious learner of your inner world. I honor the vulnerability involved in this process and hold this space with you with care. I am socially and culturally conscious, body-affirming, LGBTQ+ allied, and sex-positive. “Y’all” means all, y'all.

Struggling with your adolescent or teenager? It is vital that parents understand their teen's behavior rather than merely react to it. Working with me, your child will learn about themselves. They will discover their obstacles, and develop the inner strength and skills to make changes in themselves, It is immensely important for teens to have a neutral person to vent to, and teach them useful techniques to address their challenges. Teens experience many stressors which can lead to various issues that impact the entire family and many can be treated in therapy.

I have helped couples for 30 years to transform their relationship using Imago Relationship Therapy. I teach couples a communication skill set that foster emotional maturity and respect. This changes relationships. Being in relationship can be challenging during the second stage of relationship when the newness recedes and irritations begins. The Imago model increases consciousness and healing around the origins of conflict. This awareness empowers couples in their ability to change so they are no longer victims to dysfunctional patterns. I incorporate a psycho-spiritual approach in my Imago work as well as individual counseling.

Anxiety is making life feel impossible right now! You spend your nights awake thinking of every worst-case scenario or "what if" thought. Your to-do list keeps growing and you keep avoiding it when that anxious feeling shows up. As a professional woman, you envisioned a life of purpose, but anxiety has become a roadblock. It doesn’t have to be this way! It's time to rewrite your narrative. Regain control, navigate daily stress, and rediscover the life you want. I know what its like to live with anxiety and I want to help you learn to not let it hold you back any longer. Let's work together to change this NOW!

Living with purpose, authenticity, and aligned values is the way out of anxiety, shame, and depression. I want to help you find your way to a more joyful life. I believe in a holistic, human-centered approach that acknowledges the real challenges of the world today, the complexities of each person's experience, and the limited usefulness of one size fits all labels and diagnosis. I believe the therapeutic space should be a safe one, but also one that challenges and encourages growth. Some of my specialties include working with trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, poor boundaries/codependency, and life transitions.

Do you find yourself repeating patterns in your life and/or relationships? Do you feel stuck or powerless to change? Are you in the midst of a huge life transition or is your relationship in crisis? I can help. I believe deeply that change is possible for anyone, and it begins with a safe and accepting environment to explore the barriers to happiness. My approach to therapy is warm, direct, non-threatening and empowering, with a focus on identifying patterns, negative beliefs and/or obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals. You can heal wounds, release resentment, find your voice, and live life more fully.

I am grateful to have had the experience in working with individuals that are struggling with life stressors, anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, relationship issues, family support, and self-injurious behavior. I also have had the opportunity to work with couples, children/adolescence, young adults, and older adults. I am full licensed LPC and I want to acknowledge the courage that you are taking towards healing and self-care. I am available to listen to your goals and what you would like to get out of counseling services. Change does not have to be stressful and with the right support, you might even surprise yourself.

People sometimes struggle with the idea of going to see a counselor. Often it's difficult to know where to begin. Sometimes finding the right counselor can mean finding new hope, new choices--a new life. My task is to create a protected space so that you'll feel comfortable and safe. I listen carefully, objectively, with kindness and humor and without judgment. I respond with training, intuition, insight, honesty, and engage a variety of techniques to meet your presenting issue. I consider it a privilege that clients are willing to share their lives with me and I honor that trust.

It's a good time to let go of patterns that don't work anymore. Maybe you have conflict or pain inside. Whatever the symptoms, you know you're not feeling well emotionally. Maybe you and your partner are not getting along or you may feel embarrassed about what you're going through – these issues are always hard to talk about. I'm here to help you get free of the past, and move into a healthy and happy life with fulfilling and rewarding relationships. I specialize in healing options that are designed to help you deal with emotional pain, relationship issues, family conflicts, lifestyle changes and more.

Do you need someone to talk to and to find solutions to painful emotions and behaviors that are hurting you, your relationships and negatively impacting your quality of life? Call me, I can help. I have experience with most psychological disorders and difficult life circumstances and have helped individuals and families successfully cope with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma recovery, and substance abuse and addiction issues both within self or in the family. I have worked in a variety of settings as a clinician, supervisor, manager and director both before and after starting my own private practice in 2000.

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.

Hi! I’m glad you are here! My name is Rebecca, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I enjoy helping children, teens, couples, and families navigate the stresses of life. The teen years can be a time of uncertainty for both teens and their parents. Family dynamics shift as teens seek more autonomy. My goal is to support parents and teens by using a systemic approach that considers their past experiences as well as providing strategies for better communication leading to a more positive relationship.

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.

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.

Our belief is to establish a therapeutic relationship for each client to feel comfortable & heard, in a caring & judgment-free manner. We are a boutique counseling practice located in the Houston Heights. We understand the importance of being able to treat the entire family. Whether it is giving support and guidance for a parent, teen counseling for a struggling adolescent, or play therapy, we believe in a systems approach to unify the family, build communication, & provide peace and harmony in the home.

I am passionate about breaking the stigma of vulnerability and reframing it as a sign of strength. Therefore, I invite my clients to take a step closer to becoming more comfortable with vulnerability. I understand that, while the past has shaped all of us and helps to explain who each person is today, I believes that each person still has the power to choose how their past experiences can help them thrive in the present and the future, and I am committed to helping my clients do just that. I also help clients build a more secure relationship with themself in order to connect with others in a more purposeful manner.
