Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 76209

I am a bilingual therapist, and provide therapy in both Spanish and English. It is a privilege to be able to provide therapeutic services in a language that is more comfortable to you. I have experience working with teens and adults, some of who have endured complex trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and more.

Are you struggling to make sense of what you are experiencing & why? Maybe you are overwhelmed by your challenges (unaddressed trauma, substance use, etc.) and need help sorting out its complexities. I know that trauma can change your life in the hardest of ways AND I believe in your ability to heal from it. I believe in the importance of addressing underlying trauma that may be contributing to current difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationship/codependency issues, substance use, anger, perfectionism, and more. I am trained in EMDR and use it frequently in the treatment of distressing symptoms for both teens and adults.

My interaction with clients is collaborative and empowering. I believe that we humans are intended to lead fulfilling lives, and that inside each of us is a "wise counselor", access to which is often blocked by obscured wounds. I believe that symptoms of those wounds show up in our lives as addictions, eating disorders, co-dependency, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and/or a sense of "restricted" living. I believe that my own "journey" is useful in helping people find clarity around their wounds, and discover new and increasing levels of personal choice and freedom of expression.

My goal as a Counselor is to help you let go of the resistance that keeps you stuck, whether it's from PTSD, depression, anxiety, limiting beliefs/behaviors, or a bad relationship; stuck in ways that are destructive to you and/or your family. I believe in taking time to focus on communication skills and the many dynamics of "relationship", relationship to self, partner, family, and coworkers. This includes learning self care as well as setting healthy boundaries with others. You are someone ready to make some changes and do things differently.

I am a mixed race (black and white) clinician and feel this gives me a unique perspective to mental health. Life can be mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting. Trauma (racial, religious, or anywhere in between), work stress, marital strife, parenting woes and the like can at times feel magnified and the weight feels heavy, but I see you. Life is full of ups and downs and mental health can keep us feeling great or wanting to crawl into a dark hole. Sometimes we need to vent and have someone quietly listen, feel seen and validated, get practical advice or be taught practical ways to manage our emotions in real time.

Growing up as an only child in two culturally different households was tough. It feels like you’re always shape shifting to make everyone else more comfortable. Never getting a chance to relax into yourself. This left me on high alert, constantly second guessing all of my decisions. I didn’t know who I was, I was stuck feeling depleted and anxious to make any moves for fear I would seem foolish, or worse, fail. I became a therapist to help people who feel lost, whip those nagging voices in their head into shape. I'll help you challenge the unhealthy patterns you’ve gotten into because of doubt, shame, and believing the haters.

You are feeling unfulfilled, lost, and hopeless. Life's meaning and purpose seems elusive to you, if not completely unknown. Your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about yourself are extremely painful and despite the part of you that knows that it's not right, you cannot shake the feeling that they are true. The truth is that there is nothing wrong with you. The truth is that you have been hurt and still have wounds that have never been properly addressed with nurturing and love. I can help you learn to love wisely. My clients find that my compassionate, gentle, and direct conversational style helps them feel safe and at ease.

She believes you were created with a purpose and that your future is unwritten.

"I believe the difficulties in managing chronic illness are more than most of us can manage alone. Example: diabetes is managed best when an involved/informed patient works with doctors, adjunct professionals, & has family support. In my view, the similarities in treating the difficult diseases of diabetes and addiction are remarkable; few of us can go it alone. My experience has taught me that with informed patient motivation & support from family, peers & professionals, the "dis-ease" of addiction can be treated successfully. Recovery can lead to greater joy, serenity, & intimacy than anyone in the grip of active addiction might imagine."

Are you or your child struggling with depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem? Do you find it difficult to maintain healthy relationships? Could you benefit from learning healthy boundary-setting, and appropriate coping skills? I can help!

Tonya Lott is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who has been practicing since 2020. Tonya believes that validation is key to creating a foundation from which to begin recovering from mental health challenges. If you do not feel validated, you will continue to suffer, often times in silence. She also believes in being her true authentic self with clients in hopes that this will inspire them to do the same. The important thing for Tonya is that she can meet you where you are and empower you to start making the changes you would like to see. "The good life is a process, not a state of being.

I work with people to assist them in understanding themselves and why they do what they do. Struggles with depression and anxiety may lead people to solutions that may complicate their lives rather than truly solve the problems they are faced with. In therapy, I help people understand the core reasons for their struggles and explore new ways of coping in a non-judgmental, accepting, and confidential atmosphere.
