Therapists in Bryan, TX

****Currently Accepting New Clients May 2024**** Meeting the Clients where they are… Searching out and seeking help from a mental health professional can be scary and overwhelming. I believe the key to building a strong therapeutic alliance is meeting the client where they are. As a therapist my role is to provide non-judgmental unconditional positive regard, to help my client with exploring and overcoming life’s challenges. The therapeutic process is meant to be an empowering and enlightening experience. As a therapist, I meet my client in a dark, confusing place and we journey together to a place of peace and inner well-being.

Feeling “Stuck” can feel and look like a lot of things. I understand the stress and overwhelm that can well up from searching for language to articulate your emotional turmoil. Stress tends to invade our daily routines, disrupt our sleep patterns, strain relationships, and compromise our overall sense of wellbeing.

"Reaching out for professional help with personal problems can be a difficult thing to do for many people. I commend you for taking that first step by looking here. Every therapist has their own approach to therapy, so I encourage you to explore your options and find a therapist you feel comfortable and confident with. As a therapist, I take the approach that every person is unique and therefore have unique needs. I like to get to know my patient and tailor therapy to best fit each client." - Amanda Gray, MA, LPCS

As a mother of three, and a counselor for over 20 years, I know how difficult it is to grow up in this world today. Therapy provides a safe space to work through those things in our lives that are difficult. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults. I use play therapy, art therapy and talk therapy with my clients. I strive to offer hope and solutions to families with children dealing with such issues as trauma, grief, loss, abuse, depression, anxiety, suicide ideation, self harm, and much more. My clients are also those that need solutions for navigating behavior, peer relations, ADHD, ODD or autism.

I am 67 years young. I have been a clinical social worker/psychotherapist in the Brazos Valley since 1988. I have a good "grapevine" of local professionals, so I often help clients with information/referral to resources for on-going support beyond therapy. I welcome questions you may have. I can be reached by text at 979-255-7004 or email at ruthhelpertnunez@gmail.com. Also, please check out my Facebook page. I accept new clients as I have time slots available. I offer some evening appointments, as well as afternoon appointments, but no weekends. I will be semi-retiring in 2024, but will continue to maintain a small practice.

Under the Supervision of Andrea Boldt, MA, LPC-S. As a therapist, my goal to make you feel heard, valued, and understood from the moment you walk in. I value getting to know each of my clients and their unique life story. I am a strong Christian, and enjoy bringing those values into sessions. My goal is to walk with my clients as they navigate the hardships of this world and usher in deep, lasting healing. I believe that healing goes beyond symptom management and into the heart.

I have hope that everyone is capable of growth and change. I would like to help you in whatever challenges you are facing. Learning about myself and others has helped me grow. Life at best is always moving and changing, we must learn how to adapt and grow from the process.

Currently Accepting New Clients. I am an interpersonal process/person-centered therapist. I believe that many clients experience mental health concerns that are interpersonal in nature. This could include relationships with spouse/partner, family, siblings, co-workers, employers, God and/or SELF. Within relationships we experience our emotions and our therapeutic relationship becomes a tool for addressing these concerns. I tend to be a direct therapist and share my feelings, thoughts and reactions. I use a lot of metaphor and narrative in therapy and expect clients to come prepared to talk about things in therapy.

If you are looking for a holistic, integrative, and personal approach to your mental health and well-being, then you have found your place. Our therapists respect your individual journey and the challenges you may face or are facing. We strive to help you find your own place of healing by acknowledging, embracing, and allowing you to come to understand yourself as a unique and wonderfully made spiritual being. There is not a "one size fits all' answer or fix for the issues you may be experiencing, so we creatively integrate different modalities as needed.

*If you are unable to reach me by phone, please contact me by email* Life sometimes presents us with challenges that seem too big to face on our own. If you have experienced a situation that feels too big to handle and you are reaching out for help, I commend you for taking this brave step! I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families that have experienced the trauma of sexual abuse or family violence. It is my passion to help my clients find hope and healing in seemingly hopeless situations. I work from a trauma-informed perspective and am able to provide support for many difficult life circumstances.

Welcome to my practice! We all have unique challenges that warrant a warm, compassionate approach. I am prepared to walk beside clients as they work through trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transition issues. Additionally, as lifelong athlete, I also specialize in sport psychology consulting work for high school through professional athletes. Regardless of client background, I strive to form a unique relationship with each individual I work with and am passionate about helping others develop the tools to overcome their difficulties; life, health, and sport-related (when applicable); and become their best selves possible.

Stress is a natural result of facing life's challenges and necessary for growth. Finding balance allows us to manage stress. With 34 years of experience working with children, adults, couples and families, I can help you and those you love navigate the journey of growth and self-discovery, develop and prioritize strategies for achieving your goals and find balance. I start by performing a solution-focused interview to identify and build upon your unique strengths and resources. I have faith in the perseverance of the human spirit, given the right amount of time, support and the necessary tools.

As a practicing psychologist my role is to use my training and experience to assist the client with making changes that will improve their personal satisfaction with everyday life. I work in a collaborative manner to help individuals clarify their difficulties and set reasonable goals to achieve problem resolution. Each client brings their own unique circumstances to the counseling session. Relationships, depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, communication, family conflict, and addictive behaviors are some of the common themes that are addressed in counseling.

My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons such as trauma, anxiety, depression, or hyperactivity. Building trust between client and counselor is the most important first step. Every client is unique, so together we explore effective ways to work through each issue and set realistic goals.

I would love to help you and/or your child as you work through issues that arise. From current behavioral issues to a history of abuse/neglect to anxiety or depression, I am here to help you reach for the life you envision.
