As a LPC, I have been gifted to operate as a Counselor and I do not take my gift lightly. My goal is to be the voice for those that have never been allowed to speak up for themselves, those that have never realized the beauty they possess and especially those that have never realized their full potential in life. It is a wonderful thing when an individual realizes their worth and begins to walk in it; that is the beauty of Pearl's of Wisdom seeing the metamorphosis of the client base. Being able to observe a client walk into their destiny is fulfilling and what I strive for on a daily basis.

Welcome! My name is Amber Semidey, LCSW and my practice is called Discover You Therapy, PLLC. I provide individual psychotherapy services to Texas adults via virtual sessions. It's not an easy thing to realize you need help. We tell ourselves to "be strong" and "figure it out". What happens though when this is no longer effective? Sometimes, we need outside intervention because life gets chaotic, complex and confusing. When this happens, it's not only ok but completely normal as this is a part of the human experience. After all, we aren't robots!

My primary goal in entering the field of mental health over 21 years ago was to assist others in enduring and ultimately healing from the emotional injuries that are often a natural part of living in a complicated world. As I have grown professionally and personally, this basic goal has turned into a firm commitment to provide a safe, nurturing environment for persons of all ages, genders, and ethnicities to speak freely and feel understood. Exploring destructive behavioral patterns, unsatisfying relationships, worrisome thoughts, and other problematic aspects of life can be a rewarding and productive experience.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
