Therapists in Manchaca, TX

Holistic Psychotherapy, Psychedelic Integration and Coaching addressing Mental Health and Substance Use Issues.

Do you feel like you swing between constant worry and overthinking to periods of extreme exhaustion, numbness, and shutdown? For many of us, this state of constant survival has become part of our daily lives. For valid reasons, we can become masters at under or over-responding to our body’s distress signals. If you are reading this, you are already becoming aware this is an unsustainable relationship. You know on a deeper level it is time to make changes that lead to a life beyond survival. I help individuals understand the connection between their bodies, emotions, beliefs and how each influence overall wellbeing.

I am a counselor, author, meditation teacher, bodyworker, energy healer and intuitive. My specialties include therapy for highly sensitive people, recovery from abusive relationships and therapy for perinatal mental health. I love working with adults and children and including creative interventions such as art and music. My path to becoming a counselor started with my own trauma recovery journey where I learned so much about mind-body psychology, holistic healing, and developed many healing practices including breathwork, kundalini and vinyasa yoga, and sound healing.

I bring 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist and 20 years as a meditation practitioner/teacher to my work with clients. My approach is both intuitive and practical. I help clients to untangle complicated feelings, decrease stress and anxiety, and work through self-limiting beliefs and patterns. I am committed to helping my clients live more fully, embracing all the parts of themselves. My approach is integrative and incorporates yoga, mindfulness, and other trauma-informed methods to support clients in developing a deep experience of feeling safe, connected and open to life unfolding in a positive direction.

As human beings, we are hard-wired for two things: to survive and to connect. I whole-heartedly believe that in order to survive (and thrive!) in life, we need connection. We all want to feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted; these are the basic ingredients in order for us to feel safe in our relationships, and what I strive to bring to you as your therapist. I am equipped to support adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress, and parents facing behavioral and relational challenges with children under the age of 7. I also specialize in perinatal mental health and lactation.

You might be dealing with some intense circumstances, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. Having a nonjudgmental guide help sort through current and past pain can help make that process more manageable. As that guide, I am excited to help you turn down the volume of life's busyness, tune in to your inner self, and uncover unmet emotional needs. As you enter the safe haven of therapy each week, you will gain a freedom to be authentically you, learn how to better handle distress, and find ways to heal from past wounds that bog you down in current relationships.

My work focuses on addressing the following areas: healthy relationship boundaries, improving interpersonal communication, holistic health needs, expression of self, mastering emotional regulation, promoting self-development, and managing chronic mental health issues. I assist clients in seeking to cultivate well-being by creating meaning and context around their experiences, realizing that by improving our relationship with ourselves, we are better equipped to navigate life.

Hi, I'm Coral! I am a holistic healer that incorporates both tradition and non-traditional techniques to help treat the individual as a whole. My approach integrates spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being. My goal is to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves on all these levels. I want to help you think bigger than your problems and help you heal the past so that you can break the patterns that are holding you back from your next level. I enjoy working with individuals, including teens and young adults, and I also work with couples and families who want to improve their communication.

I am warm, direct and non-pathologizing, helping clients seek practical solutions in the present to deal with challenging problems. My focus is to seek the deeper meaning inherent in problems using humor and honesty. I have strong belief in the strength of human beings and their ability to change and heal. The majority of my clients complete their work in ten sessions. For persons with more complex histories, e.g., trauma, we will work until we are done.

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.

What do I want to create most in my life? What do I need to be at peace with? How do I improve the connection in my relationships? All of these questions are an invitation to personally grow, and in this spirit, I enjoy helping individuals creatively face the hard questions life is asking of them.

Imagine coming to therapy, where you can unpack all your concerns, and be met with genuine care and zero judgment. Life sometimes seems like an exhausting or impossible challenge, especially when we face issues with mood, relationships, betrayal, trauma, health, transitions, addiction, grief and identity/faith crises. Sometimes, we don’t even know why we are struggling so much. If you feel like you are stuck in the past, fearful about the future, or simply overwhelmed, you have come to the right place. You don’t have to live this way! Hope, joy, peace and healthier relationships are potentially just around the corner!

Did you think you had this handled but it keeps coming up? Learning new coping strategies to change your behavior is often temporary but there is a better solution - change your brain. Recent research shows that the brain is flexible, it changed as you adapted to traumatic events and it can change again to recover original potentials. You can change your history.

Things that happened to us in childhood create how we see ourselves and how we show up in relationships. Whether through neglect or abuse, we give up on our feelings, needs, vulnerability, and human connection. And as a result, as adults we feel alone, anxious, or hopeless.

I have master level training to help you find personal freedom from the past and live your best days now. You can make shifts that are life changing and long term!
