Out of Network Therapists in Montgomery County, TX

Release, Heal, and Transform Your Life...Are you or your loved ones struggling to get through the day (and night)? Grappling with anxiety or depression? Reliving painful events over and over again? Wrestling with insomnia or craving a good night’s sleep? Having brain fog or difficulty focusing and completing tasks? Experiencing outbursts, irritability, or impulse control problems? Feeling stuck, lost, or not your best? But no medication or quick fix seems to do the trick. So what can you do? Where do you start ? I offer in-person therapy in Montgomery, TX, and telehealth throughout Texas, Florida and South Carolina.

There are countless benefits when engaging in psychotherapy with the right practitioner for you. Deep and lasting change can occur in various areas of your life, and I am honored to help my clients reach their desired goals. Some of my clients simply want to feel less anxious while others may want to continue their journey of healing from trauma. I provide a safe space for clients to explore their truthful thoughts and feelings and also provide strategies to use outside of sessions. Additionally, I have a great deal of experience working with couples who report success toward their goals. My training is extensive and ongoing.

Do you struggle with the pressure of being seen as the “strong” one? Does this cause you to prioritize others' needs over your own? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others, often causing you to wonder, “is this all there is to life?” Now, more than ever, the feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, and uncertainty are present in day-to-day life and relationships. I offer a custom approach to each of my clients. We begin with understanding your current state of being and current life stressors. Then, we collaboratively create a plan to help you move closer to your desired outcome, and we celebrate your successes along the way.

Have you come to a point where you want things to be different, but are unsure how to get there or if it is even possible? You probably had expectations for how motherhood, your pregnancy, or birth might be like, but nothing is going how you thought. Maybe you don't feel yourself anymore and you are wondering how you got to this place. Reaching out for help can be one of the hardest first steps and prioritizing your mental health and well being takes courage. As a mom, I get it. The chaos, the unknown, questioning if we are doing a good enough job, worrying about mistakes we may make as a parent.

There are basic truths of human psychology that most people understand intuitively. We do not fully know ourselves; the things we do not know can cause suffering. There is a benefit to self-awareness. I will support you as you develop your innate capacity to be with your own life, just as it is, and assist as you develop more effective strategies for living joyfully and with compassion for yourself as well as others. As we bring together your sense of yourself in past, present and future states, feelings of organization and coherence develop. Choice is restored.

Marriage, family, friendships: Relationships can bring us meaning, but also pain, confusion, and sadness. You may feel you have to “hold it together” and keep your struggles under the surface. Maybe you strive to achieve and please, but never have the opportunity to honor your own needs. Are you accomplished, but still feel empty, lost, or lonely? Many individuals and couples come to me to renew and rework their relationships and to feel happier and healthier as a result. You too can successfully move past trauma, conflict, and stressful changes and emerge living a more intentional, satisfying life with better relationships.

Our daily lives can be hectic and challenging. They can even lead to feelings of overwhelm and exhaustion. Trauma, poor self-image, depression, and anxiety can make maneuvering life's circumstances overwhelming. Even more so when attempting to face the battle all alone. Together, we can find your sense of purpose, repair past hurts, develop successful & authentic relationships, and create a life that is more of what you want it to be. Together, we can work to help you find healing, wholeness, and meet your full potential.

I believe that therapy is an experience. It can be rocky, hard, and emotional but it has the final outcome of feeling better or stronger. Therapy to me is the authentic, honest process of finding alternatives, looking at options and building internal strength. I can't 'fix it' for you but I would gladly work with you on this, support you, listen and encourage. I think you can do it!

Is your family going through a challenging legal situation that is affecting you and your children? Are you dealing with painful dynamics related to divorce, custody dispute, or parental alienation? Many therapists avoid potential court involvement at any cost, but not me! I am a forensic child and adolescent psychologist. This means that not only am I very well-trained in helping kids, adolescents and their families with a range of mental health concerns but also that I am completely comfortable meeting with attorneys/mediators and even going to court if you need me to testify. The legal stuff won't interfere with me helping YOU.

Before you read on, take a moment to breathe. Inhale slowly, breathing in through your nose, filling your chest with air. Notice your chest rise, expanding until it feels tight. Now hold that breath; hold it for just a few beats… And release. Release all that air in one long slow breath out through your mouth. Notice your shoulders droop and your mind clear, ever so slightly. This might the first full breath you’ve taken in a long time. And it’s no wonder why: life can overwhelm us with so much worry, anger, doubt, shame, and sadness that we feel breathless.

Are you or your children struggling with deeply distressing or disturbing experiences known as trauma? Is the pain from your past impacting your life and relationships? Are you having a hard time managing your anxieties, worries or depression? We all face challenges, struggles and need help sometimes. I am here to listen and help you work through it. At first it can feel uncomfortable to talk to someone you do not know, but it can also be freeing once you do. Making that first phone call is the biggest step to beginning your new pathway to a happier, more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Treatment for ADULTS and TEENS struggling with some of the effects of TRAUMA like RELATIONSHIP DIFFICULTIES, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, ANGER MANAGEMENT, and ADDICTION. Ultimately, people come to me in pain or they bring someone to me in pain. Understanding that your pain, your reactions, and your responses to it make sense is a key to finding relief from suffering. If you or someone you love received something unexpected from their life experience and struggle with a "I don't even know where to start." or a "what now?", I am here for you.

Hi! Looking for help but don't know where to start? I’m Kat, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate at supervised by Lisa Grubbs, Ph.D., LPC-S. As your therapist, I'm here to be your number 1 supporter in your journey toward self-discovery and growth. I like helping clients increase self-awareness, foster self-compassion, and identify/meet their needs. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, Latine/Hispanic folx, and bilingual individuals (English/Spanish).

Accepting new clients with immediate availability! You may be feeling unseen, unheard, like no one understands what it is like to be you. You may get frustrated with all that is going on and feel like nothing you have tried is helping. I work with kids, teens, adults and families feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, alone, or confused. We will work to help you better understand and express yourself. I find that building a strong working relationship with my clients is the most effective way to allow for change.

I started Summit Counseling in 2015 with the goal to help more individuals, families and couples face life's struggles. With experience in both Child Protective Services and Education, I blend a unique approach to people seeking services. Over the last several years, I have helped many families in crisis, adolescents struggling with their own development and couples facing the challenges of raising children and maintaining a loving family.

This past year has brought struggles for many people. Job insecurity, anxiety, and wondering if we are doing the right thing for our families are just some of the challenges we face everyday. If you have been dealing with these thoughts and more, reaching out to a counselor may be a way to help. Trying to find our place in the chaos of pressures that we have from the world and the internal demands we place on ourselves can wear us out. This may be causing you to interact, communicate, and react to your family/friends in ways you never did before.

I work to empower clients to identify and utilize their strengths, connections, and values to challenge and overcome their personal obstacles. I believe we all have inherent gifts and attributes that are often overlooked and forgotten in times of stress and dysfunction. In therapy, we will explore what things are no longer serving you and access the things that can move you closer to your goals. By reconnecting with and utilizing our strengths and challenging and replacing unhelpful behaviors and thoughts, we can heal. I utilize human connection, humor, and upfront communication to connect with clients & create a space of healing.

Dealing with life's daily issues and maladaptive behaviors can be a challenge. Achieving balance with self, family, and life's challenges are difficult when personal and emotional needs are "out of sorts." However, it is possible to live a fulfilling and joy filled life even if you have been struggling with mental health and stressful issues. Counseling can provide the outlet needed to talk or discover issues and concerns causing conflict/dilemas for you and/or family members. Let's begin the journey to deal with the issues now. It can be a challenge but you can do it! You can live a positive quality of life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have always known that helping people was what I wanted to do. I believe that we all do the best that we can with what is presented to us but can get stuck trying to manage life's challenges and dealing with past, impactful experiences. I believe that, with a willingness to reflect on self and to try new skills, anyone can change and regain control of his or her life. I really enjoy helping clients work through traumatic experiences but also work with general anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and everyday stress.
