Self Esteem Therapists in Abilene, TX

Welcome! I'm excited that you are looking into taking care of You! Sometimes our thoughts and emotions are too tangled to understand by ourselves. I am here to help you unravel those knots. I am ready to work with you on your stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other distressing life events. Let's find where we need to grow and heal.

Asking for help is not always an easy step, but I believe it is the first and most courageous step you can take when wanting to make changes in your life and relationships. I am committed to helping you achieve the changes that you decide are best for you. While therapy may seem scary at first, I am passionate about making the conversation comfortable and empowering. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families and children of all ages. I have helped clients with anxiety, depression, marital conflict, suicidal ideation, self esteem and many other issues.

Are you trying to regain control and self-confidence in your life? Do parts of your life feel difficult to open up about? Are there aspects of your life that you would like to improve, process, and/or find healing in? Seeking therapy can be an incredibly vulnerable and scary decision, which is why it is important for me to create a space for my clients to be their most authentic self. I strive to ensure trust and support is at the root of all sessions. Healing is a unique process for everyone, I work to find what healing can look like for you.

Your path to self-discovery starts with clear goals and techniques to tackle any obstacles. Relationship conflicts can affect every area of your life and fuel depression and anxiety. Finding a renewed self-esteem can help you create healthier partnerships, friendships, and families. My work focuses on challenging negative self talk and ineffective behaviors through positive communication, behavioral interventions, and improved self-care. I believe in working collaboratively to help patients build on their personal strengths and find their path to meaningful relationships and happiness.

I am a therapist, life coach and self-published author that is passionate about mental health awareness, especially within the African-American community! I am a fully Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) for the state of Texas and a Board Certified Professional Chrisitan Counselor (BCPCC) through the International Board of Christian Care. I recently began offering Christian Counseling services and hope to be able help bridge the gap between faith and psychology. I am also an advocate for Mental Health awareness and volunteer with the National Association for Mental Illness (NAMI) and Potter's House Church in my spare time.

Taking the first step into therapy can bring upon many different thoughts and emotions. I understand this which is why I believe a genuine trust and relationship with your therapist can bring healing and peace. Whether you are faced with something that occurred 2 days ago or 20 years ago, allow me to provide you with a safe place to share your struggles, your stories and your strengths.

I believe a person can change and grow throughout their life. Counseling is a tool like a shovel and a dump truck are tools. You can utilize counseling tools to improve your life, it's not a sign of weakness to use tools to feel better. I will work with you to set treatment goals and identify areas where change is possible.

My hope is to offer a space for people to experience life changing therapy where mind, body, and soul meet. A safe, comfortable space that fosters an atmosphere free of judgment and shame, where growth and transformation can happen. In an ever changing, uncertain world, there is comfort in having a sure place, and an objective voice. I wish to work with you to find the greatest version of you.

Life's challenges can be overwhelming. Are you experiencing sleepless nights and worrying about how best to navigate past traumas, current stress and an uncertain future? Are you transitioning from one phase of life to another? Does it feel like your relationships are slipping through your hands? Are you tired of being tired? Asking for help and going where you have never been is incredibly brave.

I applaud you, the first steps in seeking help can be really tough, and you did it! I worked with a variety of clients where I saw depression, anxiety, trauma, and abandonment. Together we worked to find healthy coping skills, and ways to express our emotions healthfully. Each step you want to make, I will be right there with you. Navigating through those emotions that arise can be hard, but it can be possible. I look forward to hearing from you as you start your journey.

The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines turning point as, “a point at which a significant change occurs.” I am here to help encourage and join you along your journey of turning points, healing, and growth. My passion is people. I strive to provide a warm environment for individuals to feel valued and safe so they can overcome obstacles.

Hello-my name is Rachel and I want to thank you for visiting my site! Asking for help is difficult and it takes courage to take the first step in making the changes you want for your journey; that is why my first goal in therapy is to create a safe and welcoming space where you are able to share your story while being heard and valued. My second goal is to ensure that your goals are tailored to meet your specific needs. When working with individuals, couples or families, my approach is client-focused, strengths-based, and relationship-centered.

Welcome to my site. Chances are you are experiencing some life challenges that have sent you searching for guidance and help. We all face difficulties in life, and sometimes we need professional guidance to help us move forward and grow. Strength is seen when we reach out to others for help, and I commend you for taking that step. From anxiety and depression, marital problems, parenting challenges, extended family issues, or other relational matters, I will work with you to help you grow and enhance your life and relationships.

Therapy is about change. Many clients come because they are ready to explore how to make necessary or desired changes in their lives. Others reach out because they are experiencing change and need help navigating it. Ideally, clients come to the process open to seeing, thinking and doing things differently. People come to therapy usually because they have done everything they know how to do and they need a different perspective. Anxiety and depression are the most common issues that plague most clients, but everyone has unique ways that they handle their situation, their emotions and their relationships.

Life is about change and growth. I believe our ability to connect with self allows for deeper connection with the important people in one's life.
