Child Therapists in Heath, TX
As a former teacher and school counselor, my focus is on helping children and adolescents navigate the sometimes difficult and painful challenges they face. Childhood issues such as trauma, divorce, loss, anxiety, and behavioral concerns are just a handful of tough issues our children encounter. To help them find their voices and work through struggles, talk, play and expressive arts therapy are utilized in counseling sessions.

Having worked in the school setting the last 10 years, I know that times are really tough for our kids.
Working as a Crisis Intervention Counselor for an urban school district, I have extensive experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidality, self esteem and other issues. I am trained in Play Therapy and have been coined the Tween/ Teen Whisperer. These are challenging ages, so if your child or teen is struggling, I am your girl!

When children are challenged, the entire family is challenged.
While I enjoy working with clients of all ages, I have a particular passion for working with children. With 20 years' experience working with children and families, I use a strengths-based approach to help families navigate life's challenges. Also certified in trauma-focused CBT and trained in EMDR, I am able to provide calm in times of uncertainty.

I am licensed in Texas, Pennsylvania, and Washington, and accept patients in those states.

Anxiety, depression, and relationship issues take a toll on everyday life. They can lead to counter-productive coping strategies such as substance use and may even further complicate your interactions with others. While these concerns have become all too familiar in our society, the experience is uniquely personal. Symptoms vary widely from persistent stress and worry, mindless habits (i.e., endlessly scrolling the internet), trouble sleeping, lack of motivation, irritability, fatigue, and loss of interest. Fortunately, there is hope as these types of issues are treatable—change is possible.

I conduct a private practice with a main purpose of providing an environment in which individuals feel empowered to change the quality of their lives in regards to communication, relationships, and mental health. I have had a variety of experiences with adolescents, inpatient mental health hospitals, mobile psychological evaluations, intensive inpatient and outpatient assessments, marriage & family therapy, in-home counseling, and residential treatment centers. I also provide christian based counseling where there is a need. It is my counseling goal to help provide the skills needed to achieve full body wellness.

I enjoy walking with individuals of all ages toward their goal of a healthy self and believe that even children as young as 3 can benefit from a safe place to process their worlds.
Life is often difficult and unexpected. Relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and all sorts of other stressful situations can distract and disorient us from the healthy, joyful, and full lives we desire. Being with clients of all ages through seasons of difficulty, major life changes, depression, anxiety, and stress is one of my greatest honors. Sometimes, you need an unbiased person in your life to offer a safe place to process and equip you with tools to help ease your stressors. You want tools to feel better and make sense of what is going on. I want to help provide that.

For more than 25 years, I’ve been supporting children, teens, and adults as they move through anxiety, depression, grief, and the everyday stressors that can make life feel heavy.
For adults, therapy offers a chance to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most. Teens often come to me during times of transition, stress, or self-doubt. I specialize in play therapy for children, giving kids a safe and nurturing place to express big feelings in the way they naturally communicate—through play.

Weeknights In-office Available. Are you seeking personal growth, healing, and lasting change? Perhaps you are in unknown spaces of your life, where transitions or change are calling you to shed what no longer serves you. Shame, anxiety, self-sabotage, and depression are often huge blocks in our lives.

I offer a safe therapeutic space to illuminate the pathway to authenticity and healing. I also offer a deep understanding of emotional and narcissistic abuse.

What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
