Adults Therapists in Highland Village, TX

It's important to find a therapist that is a good fit for you; someone who you feel comfortable with and takes your concerns seriously. I look forward to developing a collaborative relationship with you to address the things you would like to change in your life. Everyone gets stuck repeating patterns throughout their life. Through our relationship you can start to become aware of the things that are keeping you stuck and focus on your strengths to make changes and move forward. I maintain a challenging, yet warm and supportive presence in our work.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed? Not like your usual self? Maybe you are going through a difficult time in your life and are needing support? Perhaps you have been suffering for quite a while? Therapy can help you find clarity, hope, and relief. My goal is to support you through challenges, provide professional perspective, and assist you in developing strategies to move toward a more satisfying life. Clients can expect me to be genuine, encouraging, deeply interested, and accepting.

My passion as a therapist centers around creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment in which my clients feel fully accepted and free to explore. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or simply want to live a more fulfilling life, I am here to offer you a holistic therapeutic approach that is tailored to your unique needs. Struggling alone or in silence can make you feel isolated and stuck. Through the collaborative process of therapy you will learn specific tools to create lasting and positive changes.

You are not alone. In a society of unattainable standards it can appear that everyone has it together. From relationships to careers, parenting or happiness, we can be illusioned to others living a blissfully smooth life without fear, sadness or conflict. At some point in our lives, each of us may feel anxious, isolated, depressed or lonely and need help dealing with life's challenges. You are not alone. Problems with marriage or relationships, family situations, substance abuse, loss of a job, burnout, or parenting issues life can be overwhelming or debilitating, and at times beyond our ability to manage alone.

My ideal client is one who is ready to learn who they are as an individual. My primary focus is adults who struggle with alcohol and/or drug addiction. Through this focus, I have experience helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, shame-talk, grief, apathy, and stress. These emotions and thoughts can create "stuck points" in life. My ideal client is an individual who has found themselves in one of these points, and is desperately looking for a way out. With this desperation, the client and I can create goals to ascertain their needs. In turn, finding and obtaining their needs resolve the presenting issues.

I believe everyone encounters struggles and challenges in their lives and that everyone has personal strengths and the abilities to overcome life's obstacles. I see my role as a therapist to be one that provides support, education, play, collaboration, listening, and assists with intervention toward attaining personal growth. I have extensive experience counseling those struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, school problems, abuse, trauma, family conflict, divorce, self-esteem, substance use and emotional or behavioral disorders. I possess a holistic perspective to therapy that focuses on building healthy relationships and boundaries, both with self and others.

I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of healthy relationships, not only with those we love, but with ourselves. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples build healthy coping strategies, effective communication skills, and identify and pursue personal growth. I believe we all have areas for growth and I work collaboratively with client's using effective counseling techniques to dispute faulty beliefs that are hindering ability for growth, happiness, and success.

I believe counseling is a supportive environment within which all persons can seek both understanding and acceptance. Within my counseling work, I emphasize the importance of a trusting, therapeutic relationship with each and every client in order to allow for healthy growth and change. My passion lies with working with children, adolescents, and families in a safe, non-judgmental environment. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, teens, parents, and adults dealing with various mental health issues.

Adolescence and young adulthood is a time of great transition both mentally and physically. At NextGen Counseling, support is provided for teens and adults to help navigate the seemingly overwhelming emotions they are experiencing from the world around them. In a society where teens and adults are bombarded with contradictory messages on how they should act, think, and feel, therapy provides a "safe zone" for them to voice their concerns and be understood.

I work with clients in an interactive, supportive, and solution focused approach. I believe that clients benefit from learning about their own existing strengths, as well as the different approaches which can help them achieve their goals. This applies whether I'm working with adults , couples, adolescents, sexual abuse survivors, individuals with depression, grief, anxiety, PTSD, self-harm, or addiction issues. I always try to be straightforward, honest, and down-to-earth. I emphasize that everybody sometimes experiences stress and problems in daily life, and that most of these issues can be worked through.

I have 18 years of clinical experience working with adults and teens, and 15 years providing EMDR therapy (a modality that can swiftly address anxiety, grief and trauma). In my years of practice I have seen individuals discover their strengths, heal themselves and create a life worth living. I aim to establish a therapeutic relationship that allows clients to grow and change in a safe and supportive environment. I believe it is important to honor clients' values, unique experiences, and complex journeys.

I believe we all possess the potential to meet our challenges and find a fulfilling life. I look forward to accompanying you along this important journey. Through exploration of your experiences and through creative and courageous responses in your relationships, new pathways emerge.

I started off helping people as clinical psychologist in Brazil, before becoming licensed in the US. I am passionate about diversity; working with individuals, couples and families.

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with years of experience in working with children, teens, and adults with diverse issues- specifically trauma. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and fully trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Finding a therapist that you are comfortable with is important. You need to feel confident that you are being truly heard and your concerns are being addressed. I look forward to developing a productive and encouraging relationship with you as we work together to positively impact your goals. It can be difficult to admit you need help, and I imagine there have been many attempts to solve your problems before you considered seeking a professional. I applaud your courage and will be committed to helping you find solutions to your challenges.

It is my belief that everyone has innate value and purpose to offer the world and that we all have the power within us to be who we want to be. Oftentimes, obstacles in life keep us from getting a clear vision of how to identify what we want and to achieve our goals. I love helping clients to process through their difficult life experiences identify how these experiences can help propel them forward. I often work with teens and adults who are struggling with Anxiety, Depression, identity, career, or finding purpose in their lives. I also have 18 years of experience as a competitive gymnast and love working with athletes.

Your emotional safety and our therapeutic relationship are important to me. I prioritize creating an environment that is safe, confidential, free of judgment, genuine, empathetic, and compassionate. I believe that it is important that we connect and you feel safe. My educational training is as a generalist, which provides me the skills to implement many different evidence based interventions and treat most issues that bring people to therapy. My expertise is in working with adults who have experienced trauma, particularly interpersonal abuse such as sexual abuse/assault, relationship abuse, etc.

I believe that looking holistically at clients' lives can enhance the therapeutic experience and broaden opportunities for healing. I explore creative and innovative ways to incorporate client's passions into the counseling process. My goal is always to make sure my client's leave my office more aware and hopefully more confident that their lives are evolving toward more helpful and connected ways of living. I challenge my clients to examine their habits, lifestyle, and consistency of positive self regard.
