Therapists in McDade, TX

I am licensed in Texas with 5 years of professional counseling experience. I like to get to know my clients and understand the barriers they are experiencing and the outcomes they wish to manifest in their lives. I listen carefully about their experiences and look to help find positive solutions to their different life challenges. I am open to exploring any topics without passing judgement and implementing the most person-centered techniques that will lead to positive outcomes.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in clinical neuropsychology for children, adults, and seniors. I bring a compassionate, yet scientifically-based, approach to the assessment of intellectual, academic,sports, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. I specialize in traumatic brain injury, stroke, post concussion care, ADHD, PTSD, and cognitive learning disorders.

In my assessment practice, I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients, including children and teens struggling academically or behaviorally, adults who have suffered a traumatic brain injury, individuals diagnosed with medical conditions that affect the brain, older adults concerned about memory lapses or early cognitive decline, and people with complex psychiatric disorders like severe depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.

I am a therapist passionate about therapy being accessible to anyone who wants to pursue it. I believe therapy can help us better understand ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Our environments and culture profoundly impact us, and sometimes understanding ourselves means unpacking that impact. I am an LGBTQ+ friendly and disability affirming therapist that works with young adults and adults. I work with individuals that have experienced medical trauma, chronic illness, ADHD, Autism, Acquired and Traumatic Brain Injury, stroke survivors, anxiety, mood disorders, and psychosis.

You're probably reading this because you're considering counseling. I think that's a great first step. No matter who you choose, I hope you meet with someone. Here's a litte about me; I hope this makes your job of selecting someone a little easier.

Dealing with life’s challenges? We all are, but not everyone needs a diagnosis when going through a solvable situation. You can beat the fear! Working with me, we can identify your strengths, what's frightening you and how to overcome it. Sometimes you just need to sit down with a counselor that respects and wants to work with you based on your strengths. I know how to work with people negotiating complicated times successfully,

I believe in meeting my clients where they are and helping them to move in the direction they dream of being. No two people are alike, so I treat the individual as an individual without judgment. This therapy allows the client to navigate their treatment better since they are doing the work; I am just here to facilitate their progress. After all, we only get one turn on this rock we call earth. We should all be able to enjoy it to the fullest.

Patients very often say "I wish I had started my treatment years ago". The harsh reality is that emotional struggles to this day continue to be stigmatized and shamed. The brain is an organ, and like any other physiological system it may require some fine tuning from time to time. Whether you or a loved one have been under the grips of anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, or simply sub-optimal functioning, we can have an open, honest discussion about whether medication is the right answer. Throughout my 15 years in psychiatry, I've had no greater joy than to see my patients improve. It's never too late to get help.

I see both therapy and coaching as personal training for the psyche. My ideal client is one that is motivated to talk and work with me to develop deeper understandings of themselves and others and create positive changes within themselves and the systems within which they interact. I am also very excited to have added dating coaching to my list of services offered and would love to discuss with you all that dating coaching is and all that it can potentially do for you! Recently added Generating Possibility, Together! to the practice, check out this great group!

Your PEACE doesn't have to be limited. The devastation of betrayal, abandonment, divorce, disease, or death can change you instantly. Perhaps resentment, depression and anxiety are interfering with the quality of your life. Is addiction keeping you in bondage? Is Post-Acute Withdrawal limiting your day to day functioning?Trauma keeping you from experiencing life? If anything is preventing you from getting to a healthy place, maybe it's time to examine what your next steps will be. Don't allow fear, work, and life's hustle to keep you from having peace. FIND PEACE REGARDLESS OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. Life can get better!

As a therapist, I am strength-based. I am comitted to creating hope and change by helping my clients focus on the positive, the effective, and the reasonable solutions that are available. Thus, I believe that it is my job to ensure that the therapy session balances problems with solutions and percieved faults with percieved strengths.

I have experience working with a wide variety of life problems and mental health disorders, but my primary interests include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), academic issues, panic/phobias, anger management, addiction, couples, marriage, and family relationship issues.

There are no ideal clients that I am able to describe because all clients are all different. I don't treat one client the same as I treat the next, but all clients need a different treatment but will always receive the same genuine approach. Your goals and treatment goals can only work with the transcribing of the clients needs and the needs of the clients; which are my main focus.
