Therapists in Bertram, TX

Join me in taking your first steps into counseling. I want to walk with you as you discover your strengths and work through difficulties that brought you here. I am a mindfulness and somatic based counselor who believes that our trauma and stress can be held within the body. Processing it in mindful ways aids us to moving on to greater things. Working at all stages of life, we face different demands and struggles. I work with families, couples and individuals based on their needs of the moment. I am also passionate about working within the LGBTQ+ community and helping others find a safe haven to feel better understood.

I help you gain control over difficult issues QUICKLY to feel happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. First, we need the right understanding of the issue ... then I use research-based approaches to maximize benefit in as few sessions as possible. Many of my clients are high-functioning, working professionals who are experiencing symptoms they just can't shake - we work together to solve that and get you back to feeling good in your life. Even just 1 session of good therapy should feel very helpful.

I believe that we are influenced by social and biological forces, but our life is not fixed because of them. Together we will explore and discover skills and a mindset to cope, resolve, and/or transition into the new chapter that waits. Through our work together, my hope is that you will find meaning and grow from there, not allowing fences that others – or ones you have placed around yourself - to hold you back.

I am extremely passionate about guiding people to a better understanding of themselves and "why we do the things that we do". Our perspective dictates our emotional reactions to situations and therefore it affects our behavior; let me help you gain control of your reactions and change your thoughts! I am especially skilled with Depression/Anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse/addiction, sports psychology, relationships/communication, childhood issues, improving self-esteem, grief/loss, identity development and issues related to the child-to-adult transition. Please see my website and blog for more information.

Hello, I have 25 years of experience having worked with various populations and issues. I believe that life is a journey that presents to us constant experiences for learning and growth to become your best self, whatever that means to you. Change is challenging as one becomes comfortable in the uncomfortable. But as you become aware of the routines and patterns that you continue with that are not working for you, you will be moving toward making lifelong changes that not only affect you positively but also your relationships with others. Change is possible, anxiety and depression are manageable and you are well worth your time.

I believe that all people have the ability to grow and heal. As a counselor, I work with individuals, couples, and families, tailoring my approach to address clients’ specific needs in order to develop a safe, non-judgmental environment in which clients feel empowered to make positive changes. In our sessions, I’ll help you identify and address behavioral patterns and underlying issues to create lasting change. To ensure your needs are being met, we’ll work together to state your needs clearly and create healthy boundaries.

Hi there! My name is Dr. Ana Alicia Potthast, DSW, LCSW, LCDC.

You don't have to suffer in siIence anymore. In our fast changing world, finding balance can be difficult and may even seem impossible at times. Feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and the thoughts of giving up make it hard to push forward when you have conflicting goals, objectives, and situations in your life. They can seem to happen all at once, and it feels like they are all demanding our energy, thoughts, and immediate choices in order to progress and change. Anxious or depressing thoughts and feelings accompany the trying times of life, and therapy can be a way to get yourself and/or your family up to optimal functioning.

I work with individuals/couples/families seeking to restore balance and connection within their lives and interpersonal relationships. Unhealthy relationships can cause both emotional and physical stress, whereas healthy relationships can enhance and improve overall well-being. I have trained in a range of modalities in order to provide tailored treatment plan that can be integrated into your daily lives. I provide a non-judgmental, compassionate and supportive environment in which you can safely explore and work through emotions, thoughts and beliefs that may be keeping you from moving forward and living a fulfilling life.

You've always been the strong one; but, right now you don’t feel so strong. You’d like to let your guard down for a second and catch your breath. But you don’t think you can. It would be better to just keep going, pushing, harder, longer. Right? That's what you're used to. It has worked in the past. But, THAT thing that you keep thinking about, have nightmares about and can't stop remembering is starting to wear on you. Your usual methods of coping isn't cutting it, and you're thinking about talking to a psychologist.

Life can be hard. Whether it is transitioning from one phase of life to another or financial and work stressors there is always something that we have to learn to cope with and it can be very easy to start feeling overwhelmed and stuck.

Failure, conflict or ending a relationship isn't meant to break us but to provide valuable lessons for us to learn, grow, gain insight, become stronger and live happier. I can support and guide you in your search for inner strength needed to regain your sense of control, purpose and joy.

Couple issues? Family problems? Children or Adolescents with issues? An individual struggling with problems? No matter the stage in your life or relationship there can be bumps in the road at times. Sometimes no matter how hard you may try, you may find you are struggling. Sometimes we find that despite our best efforts we may need help with certain aspects of life. Perhaps we need help leaving old unhealthy behaviors behind, or maybe we need help learning better ways of communicating with our loved ones.

You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?
