Therapists Beginning With S in Texas

Counseling is a tool one uses to identify personal shortcomings as well as gaining insight into one's own self-exploration. My approach to counseling begins with establishing a working collaboration with the client. As a therapist, I believe it is my responsibility to demonstrate to each client that they are in a safe, trusting, environment, and to help them understand why they are having difficulties.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and reside in Texas, I am also licensed in Colorado and Florida. I specialize in helping you identify and overcome issues that hinder your day-to-day enjoyment of life and/or interfere with progress towards goals you have set. In thirty years of private practice counseling I have learned to meet clients’ needs not only with continued education and research but also through a multitude of life experiences. I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients. I believe trust is a fundamental element in any relationship. This trust has to be developed and nurtured to remain genuine.

I provide short-term psychotherapy services that are practical and solution focused. I take a collaborative approach in helping clients make the changes they are seeking. Additionally, I am certified in Rapid Resolution Therapy using Clinical Hypnosis, for individuals who have suffered trauma.

Living in an unpredictable world can be traumatizing, especially when you feel like no one is there for you. Experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, isolation, anger, and hopelessness is common to our human nature, but when they become too intense it becomes detrimental to your physical and mental well-being. It feels as though you are in a constant battle in figuring out how to manage these emotions as well as one’s thoughts and behaviors. Counseling can serve as a metaphorical pill that can alleviate these concerns that you may have.

Seeking therapy is a very brave/positive step, although scary. Whether you’re overwhelmed with your emotions, experiencing life transitions, struggling to navigate relationships, anxiety, or depression, or stress, everyone needs somebody to listen to them sometimes. Life can be difficult going through adversities alone and sometimes having extra support is needed and that is okay. My purpose is to create a non-judgmental, safe space for you where you feel heard, validated, and most importantly supported. Mental health is a vital part of your well-being and I am honored to have the ability to offer those services.

Life is messy and complex. Your pain is unique to you. Whether it’s anxiety, depression or your past that weighs you down, we can navigate these issues effectively. Our issues keep us from feeling good about ourselves and have us asking questions like “Am I alone in experiencing this?” There is this myth in life that we must "face our Dragon" to get the gold or the princess. Then we will be able to start “living life” and be “happy.” The truth is you get neither. But once you have done the work that brought you here to begin with you will be able to navigate your life a bit more effectively. And we both know you can live with that.

Have you arrived at a place in life where you are have overwhelming thoughts and/or panic attacks? Are your thoughts disrupting your personal relationships, workplace,and or home life? Lets start the journey with real time strategies to support your mental wellness. Therapy is a safe support space to seek understanding and healing from underlining concerns. Let's talk about.

Real, lasting change can be difficult to come by. It can seem elusive and out of reach for so many of us as we wrestle with the confusion and difficulties of life. I work with client's from all walks of life with the common goal of seeking change, gaining beneficial insight, and a moving towards a style of life marked by resilience, meaning, and joy.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years experience working with children, adolescents, teens and adults in homes, schools, outpatient clinics, churches, nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers and county jails.

Are you drinking or using too much? Do you struggle to know your purpose in life? I'm well-equipped to treat those experiencing substance abuse, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, lack of motivation, loss of identity, feelings of not being "good enough," codependency, communication issues, gender role issues, workplace stress, "daddy issues," mom guilt, overwhelming resentments, and feeling "stuck." I help clients discover the root of their issues in order to help them change their thinking, manage their emotions, and develop new routines and behaviors so they can move forward with a happy, peaceful, and productive life.

I believe that compassion and empathy are essential in understanding others. As a counselor, I am client centered and provide space that is welcoming and open. I take a holistic and individualized approach when working with clients and utilize a variety of interventions based on client needs. I support clients with navigating life’s challenges, while also appreciating their strengths and giving them tools to make change in their life. I have a passion for supporting LGBTQIA+ members and anyone navigating mood and anxiety disorders.

Now accepting new clients! 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 work to create an authentically safe space where you can explore life's obstacles that are preventing you from meeting your goals.

Relationships have the power to both hurt and heal. As a marriage and family therapist it is my goal to provide you with a confidential, honest, empathetic, and warm environment to facilitate healing past or present wounds. In a world which is constantly changing, coping with change can be unsettling. Through our work, you will discover healthy ways to deal with change, to find stability and to navigate through life. Collaboration, communication and resolving conflict are most essential in relationships. You will develop the skills to communicate your needs and wants effectively and clearly with your spouse, children and co-workers.

As a counselor I create a warm and supportive environment in which my clients can move from feeling stuck, isolated, and conflicted in some area of life to feeling more connected, motivated and successful. I specialize in working with children, teenagers and adults who are experiencing relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues. I believe in defining goals with my clients, exploring new ways of thinking about yourself and others and learning better coping strategies. My goal is to help my clients heal from past wounds and achieve their own definition of success.
