Therapists in Sachse, TX

Life has a tendency to throw unexpected situations, problems, and experiences at us. During these times, it is wise to seek guidance for our personal lives, marriages, families, and professional situations. Together, we will examine your current life situation, what is achievable, and how to move forward. Characteristics of narcissism, controlling behaviors, and problematic situations can affect one's mental health significantly. I work both with the person who struggles with these problems as well as those who are in relationships with that person. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

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 goal is always to create a space free from judgment where you can explore who you are, who you want to be, and how you can get there!

Change can be difficult for people but wanting to feel better is a start. I believe that change is possible and that people can adjust and live up to their fullest potential. As a licensed professional counselor-supervisor (LPC-S), I believe that providing a non-judgmental, supportive environment for clients to fully express and explore their feelings, thoughts, and struggles is essential. Typically, I use a range of counseling approaches, including trying new coping skills, such as emotion regulation, to identifying and processing your thoughts to see how they may affect your feelings to exploring acceptance and how that may fit into your life.

Currently Accepting new clients. I believe the mind, body, and spirit are all involved in being in a healthy place mentally. I strive for my therapy sessions with you to be a safe place where you can talk freely and feel comfortable. I focus on cognitive behavioral therapy but also draw from mindfulness, meditation, strengths perspective, DBT, and more. Our goal is to figure out any trauma (when you are ready), discover coping skills that work for you, and change your whole perspective on yourself and life - in a good way. I accept insurance from major insurance companies, and also private pay.

Do you find that you have dissatisfaction with your life? Are your relationships strained? Is something wrong but you can't place what it is? Do you know what is wrong but just don't know how to fix it? Are your relationships not where you want them? Is your sex life not where you want it? Are you struggling with sexuality and/or gender issues? If find that you identify with any of these questions, Realistic Expectations, PLLC, can help you.

Have you looked in the mirror and asked yourself, "How did I get here?" “Who can I trust?” “How did my life change so quickly that I can't even recognize myself anymore?" "Am I Crazy?" "I Want to be Happy?" Problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Real problems start and end with the mirror image we see daily. Often the mirror image is silent but dying to speak and live life again. Issues in life start with the inability to be heard, believed in, and understood. I believe the best way to find you again, is to find your voice.

A person is a person, no matter how small.- Dr. Seuss Speaking your truth is difficult when your first language is play, or you find it difficult to share your thoughts because of anxiety, grief or depression.

Counseling is about working together in a nonjudgmental and caring environment to meet your goals, bring balance back into your life, and help you harness your own abilities in the healing process. I believe in empowering you to lead and guide your own personal growth within an accepting and trusting counseling relationship. I understand that every person is an individual, with specific emotional issues, life views and wants. I focus on how you are experiencing life in the present moment and what we can do together to provide self exploration, self understanding, and an avenue of balance along your life path.

You are not alone. In a society of unattainable standards it can appear that everyone has it together. From relationships to careers, parenting or happiness, we can be illusioned to others living a blissfully smooth life without fear, sadness or conflict. At some point in our lives, each of us may feel anxious, isolated, depressed or lonely and need help dealing with life's challenges. You are not alone. Problems with marriage or relationships, family situations, substance abuse, loss of a job, burnout, or parenting issues life can be overwhelming or debilitating, and at times beyond our ability to manage alone.
