Therapists in Brazos County, TX

I believe relationships define each of us and form the foundation for our life. I work from a systemic perspective with couples, individuals, and families to create relationships that define not only who we are, but also who we desire to become. I help clients with their relationships, intimacy, connection, communication, and sexual compatibility. I work with a lot of women who have suffered from Narcissistic abuse in relationships and family of origin. I also help those who are confused in their current relationships. I enjoy helping those who have autoimmune disease and cancer redefine their sexuality, relationships and desire.

How do you want your life to look? Who do you want your future self to be? We will explore this together and create the life you want to live. Whether you have been through abuse, neglect, experience depression and anxious thoughts, I can help you navigate through the difficulty and find hope. If you have experienced hopelessness, feelings of unworthiness, past trauma creeping up, and unable to find the right partner or friends - I can help you find healing. Navigating relationships - especially the one with yourself is how we will build the life you want.

Do things seem overwhelming? Are you uncertain? Do you have doubts? Does your mind torment you? Are you confused or even scared? Suffering? If so, you have found the right person. Things CAN get better. I am here to help you regain a sense of control over your life, build coping skills, and assist you in making the changes you desire. I would be honored to journey with you, offering you a safe space to tell your story and sustained compassion along the way.

I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with overwhelming feelings, rigid and or perfectionist control strategies, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem and a confused sense of self-identity. I focus on healing the impact of childhood and family relational trauma so that individuals can lead an authentic, connected and fulfilling life. I also work with couples who experience difficult transitions, communication breakdowns, trust and intimacy issues or feelings of isolation. I will help you learn to identify where you get stuck the most as a couple and replace the patterns and habits reinforcing the dynamic.

At the heart of my work, I approach therapy from a relational, psychodynamic therapy model, which means I believe the relationship between the client and therapist can be a transformative component in the growth process. I am a LPC combining modern neurobiology with holistic somatic healing, the psychodynamic therapeutic relationship, and body-based practices to create an experiential awakening on a bodily, psychological and emotional level. I work from a somatic-centered therapeutic approach, meaning that I believe that the body tells the stories and narratives. For more information, my website is: www.kellypastori.com

Whether one seeks relief from anxiety, trauma, relational impasses, or life disillusionment, therapy can help. It is unfortunate that insufficiently engaged approaches to therapy, prohibitive rates, and the unconscionable reluctance of most clinicians to accept insurance fail so many clients, who in good faith seek to discover a healing of heart and mind.

I also supervise highly promising interns from NWU available for as low as $15-30 per session.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS across the U.S. (Psypact states). Life can get stressful and hard at times, so can navigating societal, work, and family issues especially if you’re a person of color, immigrant, child of immigrants or LGBTQIA. Life transitions also require us to accept change but sometimes that may be hard and we can feel “stuck”. My priority is to help you achieve YOUR goals in a way that resonates with who you are, your beliefs, and with your values. I have extensive years of clinical, research, and assessment experience and will provide evidence-based treatment in a supportive, accepting, and collaborative relationship.

My approach is collaborative and focused on helping you unravel patterns that are keeping you stuck to create changes that are deep and longstanding. I work with emerging adults, creatives, families and couples interested in exploring their inner worlds in order to heal and thrive.

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.
