Person-Centered Therapists in Flint, TX

If you are reading this, know that I am proud of you for taking this important step in your healing journey to search for a counselor you feel would be a good fit. Life and relationships can be hard to navigate! Sometimes, we need someone to walk beside us through difficult times in a trusting environment that allows space for gaining strength and insight. You aren't alone. I currenly see clients struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, boundary issues, navigating confusing or difficult life situations, and trauma. I also see clients wanting EMDR therapy.

Welcome! I’m so happy that you have taken this step to create change in your life. Due to negative experiences, many times we learn unhelpful behaviors and beliefs over time. I believe that healing takes place when you have someone to walk alongside to create space where you can safely deal with what concerns you without shame and without judgement. My goal is to create that space and to be that person who will walk with you as you confront what is no longer serving you and develop lasting change.

I welcome people from different backgrounds and political leanings, unique religious or spiritual beliefs, all kinds of relationship dynamics/combinations, stressful careers, and traumatic experiences. The types that have learned how to “fake it till you make it”. The survivor living off of caffeine and sheer determination. The tired, overlooked and underappreciated human being still carrying the baggage of their last relationship, tough childhood or draining job. Fighters who have lost their spark, but are somehow able to keep everyone else’s flame burning. I see you struggling… silently slipping below the surface. I want to help.

Are you ready for relief from fear, anxiety, and shame; for a life filled with meaningful identity and intentional relationships? Have you been struggling with taking the next steps in recovering from adverse life experiences? Beginning to heal from conditions like trauma and addiction can be difficult but I am here to help you navigate through these areas and more. I am here to help you begin this journey of healing and re-discovery. My passion is assisting clients in finding release from a range of mental health difficulties including trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression.

I bring a perspective into session that you deserve happiness, laughter, to be loved, and to be treated with respect. I want to assist in adding a sense of empowerment to your life and to your decisions! I've worked with ages 15-77 dealing with anxiety, depression, and adjusting through life changes. I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, a CACREP accredited program. I am under the supervision of Jenifer Martin, LPC-S. I am a National Certified Counselor by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). LGBTQ+ friendly.

Hello! My name is Monica Terpening. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, having graduated from The University of Louisiana with my master's degree in Social work with a concentration in Mental Health. I am trauma trained and have worked with clients to help address trauma, grief, anxiety, attachment and adjustment/ life transitions. I enjoy helping equip clients with a wide skill set that will help them effectively navigate their lives as well as address trauma they have endured. I am taking new clients at this time; the best way to get in contact with me to schedule an appointment is via email.

Life can be difficult—full of struggles, challenges, changes, and the unexpected. We keep these events in our minds, whether at the front to consciously influence all of our decisions, or packed away in a box in a corner, to be dealt with ‘in the future’. When your box begins to overflow or you realize that it is time to open it, I’m here to help you unpack, sort, and re-pack the box. My goal is to help you regain control of the box, so that the box no longer controls you.

My areas of clinical work include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transition, and substance use issues. I am also passionate about supporting clients with borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. Whether children, adolescents, or adults I am dedicated to helping clients establish boundaries, create healthy coping skills, and build resilience. Ultimately, my desire is to help my clients become more grounded and experience life to the full.

I counsel professional women 25+ who are struggling to survive narcissistic relationships or post-partum depression and anxiety. If you've lost your sense of self and you’re experiencing high levels of chaos, confusion, anxiety, stress, or desperation, and wish the relationship/family system/work environment weren't so controlling OR if you're depressed and fighting to find yourself and a new normal after having a baby, please call. I offer a warm, person-centered approach that will likely include attachment and trauma work and psycho-education through talk, EMDR, and Sandtray therapies. Let's find you again so you can thrive.

Life can be challenging at times and taking that first step of deciding to begin counseling can be intimidating. Kudos to you for beginning that process by looking into finding a counselor! Whether it be anxiety, depression, or just a general feeling of overwhelm that you are battling, I invite you to take that next step toward healing. One small step in the right direction can make all the difference. It is my aim to foster a supportive and safe environment in which pain, challenges, and fears can be safely explored.

Becoming a parent often brings up a wide range of emotions. Sometimes it is the long awaited reward after struggling with infertility, or bearing the grief of miscarriage and loss. Sometimes it is the excitement of adding to a growing family. Sometimes it is the fear of reliving physical, emotional, or mental pain and hardship. Sometimes it is grappling with the societal and cultural expectations of parenting. The experiences that arise for parents during conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenting deserve a space for specialized care and attention. This specialized care is what I offer in support of your goals.

For many of us, working on emotional and relational issues is something we tend to put off until life gets too painful to manage on our own. We struggle to get back to what life used to be, but we cannot seem to find our way. Marriages dissolve, relationships crumble, routine tasks seem overwhelming, and the life for which God made us appears to be permanently out of reach. Perhaps you are reading this now because you are looking for a change. Your new beginning is one step away, and I would be honored to take that journey with you.

I am so happy that you're taking some time to explore psychotherapy. I offer online and in person sessions. Deciding to start therapy can be hard. But, continuing to struggle with the challenges, a life that hasn't quite gone the way it should, and hurts in life is so much harder. Together we will work to make sense of the emotional, spiritual and physical struggles that are going on.
