Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Brady, TX

I offer somatic psychotherapy (touch and tablework) for people who are working on trauma, relationship and attachment issues. This work may also bring up family of origin issues that may also be unresolved. I combine somatic, IFS, and attachment modalities. My somatic training also provides expertise in helping those with chronic illness or pain and how this is related to mental health. Somatic work also is for those with after-effects of surgeries or accidents.

If you've been in therapy before and still struggle with unresolved issues, a more comprehensive approach may help. I am a strong proponent of working with the whole body to address emotional difficulties. Research has shown that present day mental health challenges which originate from early life experiences very often require intervention with the parts of our system which hold pre-verbal memories and conditioning. Using both cognitive (brain-focused) AND somatic (body-focused) interventions ensures that all parts of our body are integrated into the healing process.

I believe I can help you as your therapist because I have walked through my own struggles and emerged with a deep understanding of the human experience. My journey has taught me the power of resilience, empathy, and the healing potential of holistic therapy. I am passionate about guiding others through their own paths of self-discovery and growth, offering a safe haven where you can be seen, heard, and supported without reservation. I honor all faiths and offer biblical based therapy for those who desire a Christ centered approach.

My ideal client is not limited to a specific issue, need, or goals. I am open to any client and will adjust the therapy sessions to suit their needs. I enjoy working with families, couples, and individuals of all ages.

I assist people in addressing their relationships, creating stability, building purpose, healing relationship pain, breaking negative cycles, and starting new. My passion lies in helping couples connect on a deeper level and achieve long-lasting change in their relationships. As a relational therapist, I understand that every relationship is unique and requires a personalized approach. To that end, I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Satir, Experiential, Relational Life Therapy, Internal Family Systems, SFT, and Gottman. I help people identify and address their core issues while building strong foundations.

I believe in the wholeness that lives in us all and that counseling is not about “fixing” a person but remembering who we were first. I am a depth oriented psychotherapist with a warm yet direct approach. I am influenced by existential and Jungian psychology and in working with me you will feel these theoretical approach echo in our conversations together. I also include metaphor and narrative therapy.

Are you making decisions that don't align with your needs and goals? Are you struggling with shame and feeling like you aren't enough? Do you feel like you are ruminating on the same choices and mistakes and struggling to connect to your identity and your feelings? I would be honored to help walk this path with you to identify and meet your own needs, increase your healthy coping skills and help unravel the unhealthy thinking patterns effecting your regulation and capacity to connect with self and others.

"Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations."- Brené Brown. Counseling can feel intimidating, nerve-racking, and desperate; I get it. And the reality is we cannot live life alone and we cannot heal alone. We need each other for support, encouragement, empowerment and restoration. My role as a counselor is to partner with you in your journey toward integrated wholeness and health and to provide you a safe space to be vulnerable, courageous, real and imperfect; for you to come as you are and to just be.

My passion is working with family members of those struggling with addiction. Whether you are a spouse, child or parent, your life has been deeply impacted by your family member's addictive disease. As loved ones, we have often focused on our sick family member so long that we have lost ourselves. It takes support, education and courage to find balance. I have found that when loved ones get help for themselves, their family member often gets healthier. I also have deep compassion for parents, particularly d mothers, who are working to rebuild relationships with their children after battling their own addiction.

It is time to heal the split. Red vs Blue. Autonomy vs Community. Masculine vs Feminine. Mind vs Body. Earth vs. Human. Rationality vs Intuition. Science vs Spirit. All of these divisions have created monstrous cracks in our collective and inner landscapes, which have been making us sick psychologically, physically, and spiritually. However, for those who are willing to slow down and step into these cracks, therein lies the space and possibility for something new and more beautiful to emerge. We have become fractured and fragmented by a misunderstood myth of separation.

Hi there! My name is Amy Swetnam and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas with over 38 years of clinical experience. I work with individuals and couples in areas such as relationship issues, trauma, abuse, grief, and depression, amongst others. My clinical approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

Overwhelmed? Tired of the same old patterns in your life? Doubting yourself or your decisions? Lost hope? Feeling disconnected from others and your goals? Let me be your guide through life's intersections. I believe we all can benefit from professional support at some point in our lives. Why not start now? My approach is supportive, empathetic, direct, and collaborative. I tailor my counseling to your needs. I welcome traditional and nontraditional individuals, and anyone who feels marginalized, isolated, or undervalued. Together, we'll work on building connections and finding solutions, one step at a time.

My main forms of therapy tend to be solution focused, cognitive behavioral therapy and person centered with a priority in making changes in behavior and thinking. However, all forms of therapy are used in my practice including but not limited to narrative, reality, mindfulness, play therapy, some art therapy, and sand tray therapy to explore all facets of the self. I will use whatever works best for you. I believe that therapy is a place to explore uncomfortable emotions, issues, and trauma, as well as explore who you are, who you have been and what you want for your future with a focus on your strengths, resilience, and balance.

My goal as a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern is to walk alongside you in your journey towards your personal, relationship, and family goals. Psychotherapy, by nature, is a relationship-based treatment. It is two or more people interacting with the purpose of bringing about some kind of relief and healing for the client. The treatment itself is embedded in the relationship you have with your counselor.

Eating Disorders , Addiction Recovery (SUDS) , Trauma IOPs are available here. We are not your traditional treatment center. Our Intensive Outpatient Programs and Center is owned by therapists and run by therapists. Our priority is the client and their wellness. Located on ten acres outside of Killeen, Texas, we use an integrative approach with numerous evidence-based therapies designed specifically for the individual's success. The incoming IOP client needs a higher level of care than someone attending therapy weekly. We offer 12-15 hours a week of intense treatments while the client lives at home. The family system is included.

It is normal to have challenges in life, and there should be no stigma attached to asking for help. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my goal is to listen and gently help guide individuals through any turbulent situations that they are currently experiencing or that are unsettled from the past. I believe that challenges offer individuals an opportunity to learn more about themselves, an opportunity to become more authentic, and an opportunity to become more grounded.
