The Integrative approach I take works on multiple levels, mind, body & spirit, that provide alternative ways of responding to your environment without getting stuck in the habits of the past that hold you back.
My name is Dr. Cheryl Paulhus. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, coping with grief and loss, life transitions and pain management. I work with each client to experience lasting and meaningful healing in different ways, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I have a compassionate and approachable demeanor and collaborate with each client to assist them in identifying the areas they need to focus on in their own way, in their own time.

You’ve arrived at a crossroads in life. As you look out at the path in front of you, you see a multitude of possibilities and outcomes. You know there must be some way forward that seamlessly blends the threads of culture, emotion, and self-discovery that are important to you. But the fact is, you’re too scared to move in any direction – the self-doubt, confusion, and fear of making the wrong choice paralyze you. If only you had the confidence to embark on this journey you know you need and deserve. But it feels impossible. So instead, you wait, hoping that the choice will become clearer or taken out of your hands entirely.

My hope in therapy is that I might help you find a position of personal power, where you begin to face and conquer anxieties that may have kept you from fully enjoying life.

The most common phrase I hear when I ask new clients to describe themselves is "not good enough." As a result of invalidating life experiences, many of us come to believe that we are unworthy of acceptance. In order to avoid potential rejection, we hide aspects of our identities that others might view as unacceptable, and we present a fragmented or incomplete version of ourselves to the world. While this can be advantageous in some environments, it also can become a barrier to intimacy. Many of my clients struggle to be vulnerable and find it challenging to embrace their full, authentic selves.

Integrative Therapists

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.

How does integrative therapy work?

Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.

How long does integrative therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.

How effective is integrative therapy?

There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
