I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor specializing in children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I work with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, and life transitions. I utilize play therapy with children, solution-focused techniques, supportive therapy, family systems, and other techniques that match the client I am working with. If you have a high deductible or copay, I can accept private pay to lower your cost. Licensed in NC, TN and TX. Currently working on more insurance plans in NC, TN and TX. Owner of Tripod Ridge Counseling, PLLC.
Also accepting post-graduate LPC-Associates for supervision in Texas and Tennessee. Offering individual and group sessions. Call or text today (512) 694-6233.
What do you have to lose? Accept your mental health problem and talk to someone. Don't wait. Help is just a phone call or text away. I am here for you and want to help.
