Therapists in Stephenville, TX

您好，我是一名华人心理咨询师。我毕业于基督教大学Hardin-Simmons University心理咨询专业，并于2019年取得执照开始咨询。我在北京出生长大，在18岁时，来到德州开始学习生活工作，所以我十分理解中西方文化差异会造成的压力，不认同，以及迷茫。我曾很荣幸的为美国意义治疗协会主席Dr. Robert Barnes工作，学习四年，期间我了解到意义治疗在帮助人们找寻自己人生的意义以及价值从而伴随人们克服克服人的至暗时刻。 “人所拥有的任何东西，都可以被剥夺，唯独人性最后的自由，也就是在任何境遇中选择自己态度和生活方式的自由不能被剥夺。”— 维克多·弗兰克

我是在台灣的教育環境中成長的，因此可以親身理解體會，在華人社會的價值觀下成長和社會化的經歷中，負面的情緒往往是不被允許的。生氣被視為不講理，難過被視為不知足，而負面情緒就會被冠上了臭名，總被認為是一些“不應該有”的行為。許多人只要遇到這種情況，避而不談，選擇讓時間來消化，而就漸漸的不知道該如何處理這些情緒，甚至無法理解自己的情緒。所謂“情緒”，不應被區分正負面，它們都是好的，都是對我們有幫助的，重要的是我們怎麼去面對。我相信所有人都是最了解自己的人，因為只有你經歷過你人生大小的事。希望我能有這份榮幸，成為您心理旅程的嚮導及夥伴，互相學習，並且互相扶持。

您好，我是一名有大陆背景的心理咨询师，目前在美国德州做个人执业，很荣幸能够被您预选成为您的咨询师。在中国，很多人认为寻求专业心理咨询师的帮助是一件令人感到难堪甚至羞耻的事情，这一想法遗憾的让很多急需帮助的人在他们人生的困难阶段止步，我对这一现象既痛惜又难过。我切切的理解，当您迈出这一步来到网站上，试探性的寻求帮助时怀有何等的心情，而我深感肩上责任之重，也感恩于能够见证您此刻的勇气与坚韧。我希望您知道，此时此刻您并不孤单，我愿意，也期待着，陪伴您共同度过生命中的低谷，也一起见证那之后的彩虹。

厌烦了工作或家庭生活中一些不快或矛盾一而再再而三地发生却不知道如何改变吗？想要在关系或个人情绪方面有一些正面的改变吗？ Lydia作为一位专业咨询师， 很擅长在咨询室内给她的来访者创造一个安全放松的环境：暂停生活中各样的压力， 聊聊他／她们所处的境况，️工作生活中遇到的事情。 她认为咨询的一个重要的方面是给来访者一个被倾听，理解和接纳的机会；因为在这样的安全环境中蕴藏着很多宝贵的可能性：痛苦情绪得以释放，更加理解自己，做回最出色版本的自己， 和获得最佳的生活质量等等。

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (TX# 62590), Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, counseling educator, and a pastor. I specialize in individual counseling, couple counseling, group counseling, and supervision in counseling. I work well with clients who are challenged by low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma, and relationship problems. I also provide bilingual counseling services to Asians, Asian Americans, and international students who speak Mandarin and Taiwanese. For LPC-Interns who are seeking for supervision under a LPC-Supervisior, I am the one.

“Shame dies when stories are told in a safe environment”. I believe that building a safe and genuine relationship with clients is essential in facilitating healing. Relating to others in an empathetic and genuine way has always been my nature, and I bring these to my counseling sessions. I believe that when we help our clients recognize their own strength and resiliency, they discover a new potential within themselves. I feel a special connection working with clients who identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). I am excited to use my knowledge and experience to help them work through their unique struggles.

I learned an invaluable lesson from one of my educators, he told me "no one has the right to minimize your feelings. To one person, failing their algebra test might be the worst day of their lives, to another it might be losing their grandfather. No matter what others may say or think, no one has the authority to tell you how you should feel." These are the words I live by and bring into every session. I lend an empathetic ear to those whose voices and feelings are neglected.

Are you trapped by experiences from the past? Feel anxious or depressed in your present situation? Don't have much hope for the future? Maybe all three? Perhaps you don't know how to get from where you are to a more positive state of mind. I believe that the purpose of therapy is to achieve greater satisfaction with your past, present and future. The goals of therapy are to better understand how your problems affect you, and to develop effective coping strategies as you evolve a more positive sense of self and strengthen your relationships with others.

Life is difficult. I work especially with young adults diagnosed with ADHD. You are motivated and ready for change. In our sessions, we work collaboratively together. We practice acceptance, mindfulness and value-based, intentional behaviors. We develop emotional regulation and flexibility skills to enhance your ability to navigate the many challenges associated with ADHD, and life in general. Together, we will move towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life, one step at a time.

Have you been struggling with anxious or negative thoughts and are unsure how to break out of them? Do you feel anxious or depressed most days than not but are not quite sure what that might be about? Or perhaps you feel “out of control” and notice that it is spilling into other aspects of your life? I help adults make sense of their struggles in order to live a more enthusiastic and confident life, and to improve their relationships both within and with others.

I tailor my treatment approach to the individual, couple or family that I work with. Each person is different and has different needs in the therapeutic setting. By using a variety of evidence-based approaches, I aim to help each person recognize and utilize their strengths to more effectively cope and eventually be content with where they are in life. I am experienced in working with clients across many diverse backgrounds of religion, ethnicities, and diagnoses. I'm also confident in navigating through one's past to help them be comfortable in the present.

Hello and welcome! My name is Amy, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFT-A) supervised by Tanya Alexander (LMFT-S). I offer couples therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy in Fort Worth, Texas. I aim to create a collaborative experience and will encourage your personal values to guide our journey to new insights.

Seasons change and people change. Regardless of age, gender, and status, we all encounter challenges and difficulties throughout different stages in life. I help clients re-discover who they are, reclaim their lives, rebuild relationships that are meaningful to them, restore balance and satisfaction in life, reach insight and problem solve, or get to where they want to be. You determine the nature and amount of change you wish to make. I believe that helping people recognize and hone in their strengths can create new possibilities for action and new directions in life.
