Therapists in Baytown, TX

As the parent of a struggling teen, you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help them feel better. You feel like you've tried everything, but nothing seems to be working--at least not for long. No matter what you do, you just can't seem to reach them. Their personality has changed, and sometimes you worry that things could get worse. You know they have so much potential, but where did it go? Reaching out to a therapist can be scary because you want someone who can truly connect with your teen, and you want someone who will keep you informed on their progress.

Are you afraid that things will never change? Do you avoid hurt or pain? Do you keep secrets that cause you to feel shame or guilt? Do you use alcohol or pornography to numb out? If you find yourself unable to identify your life’s purpose, it may be time to consult with a professional. Seeking help is a sign of inner strength and wisdom.

I specialize in treating symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression in children, adolescents, and adults. I am also trained to assist parents deal with behavioral problems such as acting out, disrespect, hyperactivity/attention-deficits, lack of focus/motivation, and non-compliance. My approach is very strengths-based and person-centered with a strong emphasis on adjusting the environment for optimal mental health and family functioning. My practice is on the southwest side near the intersection of Houston / Sugar Land / Stafford / Missouri City.
