Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Driftwood, TX

It is an honor and a privilege to journey alongside you as we work towards understanding the barriers that are preventing you from meeting your goals. I use an integrative approach of empirically based clinical techniques that are client centered. I work to meet you where you are. Together, we will dig deeper and look at the root of the problem. As we journey towards your goals, I will offer support, encouragement, and tools to help facilitate lasting change.

You may find yourself looking for someone to listen, someone to help you work through depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief. It is not always easy to speak to a stranger, and reveal your struggles, however, I am offering a space where we work through this time of learning and healing together. We will learn and understand triggers and how they impact your relationships, work life, home life, etc. Learning and knowing which tools and resources work best can help reduce some of the heaviness you may feel. Having a space where you feel understood is important to me, so I invite you to reach out today.

My focus is on meeting the client from a holistic and integrative approach to therapy. There are many avenues to find motivation to achieve optimal health, as well as maintaining gains through recovery efforts. I find great passion in assisting the client to find their true sense of self (authentic self) through self-actualization, which includes self-image, self-esteem, and the ideal self. There's also a desire for positivity and purpose, healthy balanced thoughts, grounding and breathing through mindfulness, replacement of negative behaviors for positive, identifying strengths/solutions, and rewriting the story of their lives.

**NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Sometimes it can feel like you are stuck in a pattern and can't find your way out. It can seem like you can't stop doing things that will hurt you in the long run. You find yourself saying, "This is just how I am." The story you believe about yourself- about what you deserve - is what will manifest. That narrative will run your life until you dismantle it, & rewrite it. If you aren't running it, it is running you. " The story always wins™ ". My approach is to help you figure out where you learned these things, & discard those that cause you pain & are no longer productive.

I am dedicated to fostering positive change and empowering individuals facing life's challenges. As a compassionate professional, my focus is on supporting clients grappling with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. In our collaborative journey, we will navigate the complexities of your emotions and thoughts, working towards holistic well-being. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based techniques, providing a safe space for self-exploration and growth. Together, we'll uncover personalized strategies to enhance your mental health, cultivate resilience, and build fulfilling connections.

Everyone is on their own path, and everyone's path is their own. I like to think of the client/therapist relationship as "co-travelers." Meaning, we are both on this journey together. I believe in a holistic approach to a person's emotional well-being can make all the difference in the world. I want to help clients to become more aware of how the world around them can have sudden, as well as, long term affects when it comes to therapy. If we can be present with our thoughts and ourselves, we're half way there.

Does it feel as though you and your partner are worlds apart? Do you remember a time when you both felt so in love, and you wonder how you could ever wind up where you are today? Does the idea of getting back to that place seem like such a daunting undertaking you wonder if it's even possible? I've worked with countless couples who have answered "yes" to each of these questions and are now living the relationships and marriages they always wanted. This is a possibility for you too, if you're both willing to do the work to get there.

I specialize in guiding individuals dealing with issues including relationship challenges, setting healthy boundaries, managing anxiety, overcoming perfectionism, shedding people-pleasing tendencies, and adapting to major life changes, as well as adult ADHD. In short, many issues that I am personally, as well as professionally, very familiar with! If you're currently navigating any of these aspects of life, I am confident that we can work together to help you rediscover joy and contentment.

I enjoy working with young adults who are navigating through issues related to personal identity/values, career, and relationships. Our background and past experiences can certainly have an impact on the way we think and feel in the present. Together, we can explore those issues, develop new insights, and take action in order to work towards becoming the best version of yourself. It has truly been a pleasure to witness people grow and improve their quality of life.

I am Angela Farmer, a licensed psychologist with five years of clinical experience. I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults going into adulthood or early into adulthood.

With a deep-rooted passion for understanding the complexities of the human mind, my therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration, recognizing that each individual's journey is unique.

Something that I have experienced personally is the fact that looking for a counseling provider can be one of the most difficult and vulnerable things a person can do. The therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one between client and professional, so finding a provider who is the best fit for you is of the utmost importance. I believe in using empathy and a non-judgmental, non-directive approach to help my clients to alleviate their presenting problems and existential distress.
