Reality Therapy in Bonham, TX

Life can throw many curves and sometimes you don't know how to respond. Sometimes communication can be a struggle, and you need help knowing how to do it effectively. There are times when what you normally do is no longer working and figuring it out can be a struggle. We provide therapy that helps lead to healthy behaviors to improve relationships, express emotions better, think more positively, and do better at school and/or work.

My philosophy supports the notion that mental health is the biggest investment a person can make for themselves. As people, we need to be able to recognize the things you can control, and the things you can't control. I believe if you always maintain a purposeful and positive mindset, no one can stop your journey to happiness, and overall significant wellness. As your counselor, I will do my best to help you find your inner best.

My passion for counseling was rooted in my experience with at risk youth from my childhood to my career in education. I saw the importance of being seen and heard and addressing the individual's needs to attain success versus expecting rote societal compliance. Transitioning to being a therapist from a school based educator was a direct response to understanding that we must first address our lived experience and individual needs to see how that informs our present circumstances and future goals; so that we can achieve our goals while also having autonomy regarding the pathway we choose to get there.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to entirely escape your past. Even during moments of joy and elation, there’s still a darkness that clings to you and casts a shadow over everything you do.Part of you wants to explore these past wounds so that you can finally process and get over them. But you’re terrified to open the floodgates of that pain. Besides, you’ve lived with it for this long, and while it’s not ideal, at least it’s a pain you’re familiar with. However, you’re starting to realize that the longer you allow unresolved issues to fester, the more harmful and complex they become. Something needs to change.

Hi there, I'm Vanessa. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor living in the state of Texas. Often reducing depression, anxiety, and stress are common goals I have assisted in attaining. Also, grief processing and improving family communication skills are needs I have addressed. For my approach I choose Reality Therapy. I also find Cognitive/Behavioral techniques useful.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with adult populations. I offer treatment for individual, couple, throuple, poly, complex/open relationships, or family therapy. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationships, sexuality (LGBT issues, coming out, HIV/AIDS, and more). I want you to know that I understand and am comfortable exploring the complexities of modern relationships. I strive to provide a safe environment where I will work with you to provide structure, encouragement and support in a non-judgmental atmosphere where we can collaborate to identify and work toward your growth goals.

I am a firm believer of meeting people where they are in life. My therapeutic process focuses on working collaboratively to address issues and find solutions that work best for the individual. My goal is to establish a safe relationship, instill hope, and empower individuals by emphasizing the power of doing what is in their control.

I specialize in addictions (both adult and adolescent) and parent child relationships with teenagers. I work with young adults in helping them transition from high school to college to adult life. I have also had a great deal of experience working with victims of sexual abuse (both adult and adolescent). I believe in helping people define what they want and help them figure out a plan to work towards that goal. As a therapist who has formerly worked in full time ministry I also enjoy working with people who are dealing with religious issues whether it is deconstruction or helping them develop the spiritual life they want.

I help women build resilience to weather the storms of life with grace and strength. I know the importance of being able to bounce back from loss, disappointment, or crisis. As a therapist who works with women stung and damaged by all sorts of life events, I believe that resilience is one of the single most important qualities that enables us to bounce back from the edge. Resilience allows us to find our strength in adverse circumstances. It requires a willingness to fall apart for a time and get in touch with our pain. There is much healing that can be accomplished by getting to know yourself at your rawest and darkest times.

Many people struggle with stress, depression, anxiety, grief, parenting dilemmas, relationship/separation/divorce, trauma, self-esteem, or spiritual issues. Many also need to heal unresolved pain, guilt, or their past. These are all excellent reasons to seek therapy. I have helped many clients through teletherapy within the comfort of their own homes and offices. I would love to partner with you to help you rediscover joy and fulfillment if you live anywhere in Texas.
