UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Colleyville, TX

I have worked with individuals with many struggles such as depression, substance use, anxiety, trauma, and bipolar disorder. My niche is in issues such as life transitions, cultural identity, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and self-compassion.

These are individuals such as military kids, children of diplomats, emigrants, and refugees.

Does it feel like you or your child lack motivation or self confidence? Does it feel like you or your child are anxious almost all day? Does it feel like you and your child do not communicate? Feeling this way can impact how we feel about ourselves and how we navigate our daily life. Let's work together to overcome these feelings and change this internal dialogue. You should feel comfortable to share these experiences when and how you are ready, I believe the client is the expert in their own life and take this approach in therapy.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at emotionally and helping them and their parents reach their goals.

With insight the child and therapist can collaborate to reduce the child's current stressors possibly leading to problematic behaviors.
