Therapists Beginning With P in Texas

I am a practicum/intern student who is a pre-licensed professional. I am in the process of completing my hours needed to graduate with a Master's degree in Counseling from the University of West Texas A&M.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, or difficulty in relationships? Have you tried therapy, but not gotten the results you desire? Do you have childhood experiences that you know you need to work through, but you just don’t know if you can open that box by yourself? The cause could be past unresolved trauma that is blocking your ability to move forward. Trauma changes the nervous system and brain; therefore, treatment needs to be able to address the body and mind.

I believe no matter what happens in our lives, our ability to improve our circumstances is within reach. I work with children, teens, adults, and seniors struggling with issues stemming from trauma, anxiety, pervasive sadness, professional burnout, life transitions, and unfulfilling relationships. These problems can make life seem unmanageable, chaotic, and sometimes even hopeless. Yet, we are not alone and can always regain our power no matter how vulnerable and lost we feel.

To accomplish the change you want, will require bravery and vulnerability. Asking for help takes courage you are worth it!

My passion is helping you actualize your authentic self, focused on your values, disempowering stories we tell ourselves to truly accomplish your ultimate goals and a life worth living.

It is my belief that struggles come from not being able to reach our true potential. It is my goal to honor you and your potential, and help you do the same. When we feel nurtured, safe, and supported, we begin to become who we truly can be. I find that resolving one area of difficulty often leads to other difficulties resolving.

Are you losing sleep, noticing a change in your appetite, in your ability to concentrate on important decisions? Maybe you have noticed a change in your relationships, or are having difficulty making connections and feeling supported? Many people face difficulties in their life related to life transitions, including experiences such as moving, whether to a new country, a new job, school, or neighborhood. People face career and school challenges, relationship changes, grief and loss, and everyday life stressors. This can feel like a heavy weight is upon us, making it difficult to move forward or cause us to panic, and lose control.

When we are in pain, we often hold a belief that we are broken. One of my goals as a therapist is to redefine broken and help my clients develop greater self-understanding and acceptance. Much of our emotional distress can result from feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Therapy can promote connection and personal growth by fostering healthy relationships, developing self-awareness, accepting unpleasant emotions, and cultivating a real sense of hope that we can turn our negative experiences into positive change and transformation.

Hi there & Welcome! Great news for you, I am here to help you! And you are making the first step toward helping yourself! Do you feel like you are struggling to handle all that life can throw at you, and desire some type of change but don't know exactly how to achieve it? There are times where change seems scary or our goals seem out of reach, and sometimes we need a little bit of guidance to lead us to the ever-lasting change we envision for ourselves.

Hey you. Yes, you! Have you ever had thoughts of being “stuck” thinking “what is the point” or even just struggling to get out of bed each day? Well, I know I have, as a survivor of a traumatic accident that resulted in life long physical limitations, I went through these same thoughts often. I believe that sometimes life gets the best of us, and we get stuck in unhealthy patterns, from depression, anxiety, trauma, or anything else you may have going on. I would love to help guide you through this difficult part of your life as you learn about yourself and process through your difficult situations.

Welcome! My name is Abril and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of in the state of Texas. I’m most passionate about providing therapy to children, families, and supporting parents in need of skills and techniques to handle tough child behaviors in a warm & caring way. The primary difficulties I address with PCIT include oppositional behaviors/attitudes, tantrums, aggressive behaviors, anxiety (separation/selective mutism), ADHD, and distant parent-child relationships. A CBT approach is used with older children to address symptoms related to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and anger control difficulties.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your child’s misbehaviors, are unsure of how to support your child with emotional needs, or you've been getting phone calls from school about your child's behavior, I can teach you a set of skills effective in improving child behaviors, increasing child self-esteem, compliance, and that lead to more positive child interactions with parents, siblings, and peers. My approach centers on addressing difficulties related to oppositional defiance, tantrums, aggressive behaviors, anxiety (separation/selective mutism), ADHD symptoms, and distant parent-child relationships.
