I provide a safe and accepting environment to heal from past traumas, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. If you've tried before but things just aren't coming together you know how frustrating it is to not be able to be the real you. At first I'll help you identify where these difficulties come from, followed by learning and practicing ways to manage negative symptoms, and last we work together to resolve these issues at the root so you don't have to worry about them reoccurring. If you are ready, I'd be honored to work with you.

As a therapist, I get excited about the opportunity for change in a person’s life. I take a holistic approach, considering the many factors that affect a client’s mental and emotional state, not just the presenting problem. My goal is to connect with a person in such a way that allows me to understand the influences - family, friends, environment and medication - that contribute to their specific situation. My background as a Licensed Professional Counselor, certified teacher and school counselor, as well as working for 16+ years with at-risk individuals, from four years to adult, allows me to treat a wide range of clients.

Thank you for visiting my profile! I am passionate about mental health. I believe in the importance of coming alongside clients to better their mental and emotional health, which can positively impact behavior and relationships. I can work with children and adolescents with learning disabilities and ADHD, as well as help children and adolescents obtain healthy coping strategies, emotional regulation and social skills. I can also offer career counseling for teens and young adults. I believe that we can work to help children and teens reach their fullest potential. I work under the supervision of Randel Duncan, MA, LPC-S.

“You cannot pour from an empty cup.” You have to take care of yourself before you take care of the rest of your world & I am here to help you do that. I am currently an EMDR trained therapist who has experience working with trauma as well as unresolved emotional experiences. I also use solution-focused approaches, as well as cognitive approaches, to guide individuals to a better understanding of their own patterns of thinking. I have experience working with individuals struggling with stress, anxiety, substance abuse, mood disorders, relationship conflicts, life changes, and adolescents struggling with adjustment.

Horses and nature are the background of our therapy porch and I can't wait to invite you in. Horses provide a mirror to our inner world that at times we don't even see. Engaging with clients in unique ways provides experiences that allow for deeper, more meaningful relationships and self - awareness. Horses remind us to be genuine and guide us on a journey towards our authentic selves.

Are you feeling stuck or lost? Is there something on your mind that you just cant work through alone? Sometimes we need a little help from someone to help us navigate these thoughts and feelings. Having someone you can talk to free from judgment can really make a difference in your day to day life. I want to help get you from point A to point B and work through all the things that are challenging you.

As a LPC, I provide individual, family and group therapy. I specialize in sexual abuse, coping skills, severe mental illness, suicidal ideation and crisis intervention. I have several years experience in Testing and Evaluation and am currently a member of the American Psychological Association. My primary theoretical orientation is Choice Theory, which focuses on supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting and negotiating differences. Validating clients and their experiences is an important part in building the therapeutic process. My primary focus is working with adolescents and adults.

I've worked with adolescence and families for around 25 years in a variety of settings. These settings include being a youth / children's pastor prior to starting my counseling journey. Much of my experience involves working with those that struggle with abuse, depression, relationship conflict, self harming behaviors, legal issues, and behavior problems. Although I am licensed to practice counseling through the State of Texas, I am a Christian and the fundamentals of my practice are in line with traditional Christian faith.

Does life feel like it is too much to handle right now? Life can be hard, stressful, and overwhelming in any given season. Then add a traumatic event and it can seem like game over. Trauma comes in many forms and can wreck havoc on your life and the life of those around you. At times it can feel like chaos is surrounding you. I would love to help you or your loved one to create a safe place for the healing journey to begin. I enjoy working alongside young adults, adolescents, and professionals with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and vicarious/secondary trauma.

Life can be difficult, especially when it's changing. I want to empower you to maximize your potential, build your confidence and effectively navigate through difficult life issues. I work with clients who are affected by challenging situations such as stress, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, behavioral problems, as well as emotional and relationship difficulties. My therapeutic approach consists of client/therapist collaboration integrated with a strengths perspective and evidence-based practices. I look forward to helping you move toward a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

Feeling stuck? Hope and healing are available! I believe in the brain's self-healing capabilities, but sometimes, due to trauma, this mechanism does not function properly, and we get "stuck". I can help you re-process traumas and other upsetting events so that you can move forward.

Our goal here at Landry Therapy Group is to form a bond of trust and commitment with our clients. With the proper support and guidance, we believe people have an inherent ability to persevere through struggles with which they are confronted. Our desire is to cultivate a healthier style of living to ensure the client's future mental well-being. We staff therapists who specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, individuals, couples, family conflict, special needs clients, Christian counseling and LGBT to help them cope with life's daily struggles and/or issues resulting from past trauma or conflict. We can help.

We all have faced difficulties at one time or another. Challenging situations can be a great opportunity for positive change and self-awareness. As a counselor, I strive to offer empathy, compassion and a safe environment to each of my clients as they are working through their pain and walk beside them on their journey towards healing.

I specialize in utilizing play therapy with children and their families. As a RPT (Registered Play Therapist) and CAdPT (Certified Adlerian Play Therapist), I engage clients in creative play (and therapy ponies) to help clients manage a variety of challenges of their past, present, and future. As a TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) Practitioner, I am equipped with techniques designed for children (and their families) who have faced trauma and live with attachment issues. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Family Life Educator.

I believe that all change begins with the determination to make something different in ones life. Feelings often control the choices we make and cause reaction instead of response to situations. Counseling is an opportunity to do self discovery and look at what needs are to be met. I really enjoy helping others to find behaviors that meet their goals and consider responsibility for what they can change. I am a Christian and will guide others with spiritual guidance if preferred.

If you are struggling in your current circumstances, there is hope! Michael Jordan once said "Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." It is my joy and purpose to help others find their way through or around their obstacles. I show hope to others in order to help them through those circumstances that bring them to me. If you are ready to make some changes, I am here for you!

I believe every person is a unique make up of mind, body, and soul. I work to partner with clients to find the best ways to improve each area. I understand that every person is different and hope to tailor a specific treatment plan to help. Please email or call to schedule an initial evaluation if you have experienced any depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, or any other issue you'd like to address.
