Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Lakeway, TX

So you are looking for a therapist and possibly wondering “why should I choose this therapist over any other?” Good question. Once you’ve found a therapist with a solid background in what you want to address, it is all about therapeutic approach and personality fit (the elusive rapport). In our initial introductory conversation (15 minute call) you can tell me about what you are looking for, I'll tell you about myself, and we’ll see if I am a fit.

Hello and welcome to therapy! Emotions such as anxiety, fear, sadness, and anger can keep us stuck in negative situations and from progressing in our career and relationships. The first step to change is awareness. Speaking with a compassionate and competent professional can help you unlock your potential toward a more genuine version of you. I work from a client-centered counseling perspective, meaning that I approach the therapeutic relationship warmly, genuinely, and without judgment. My approach is to team with you to identify goals and help you create meaningful techniques that will assist you in reaching your goals.

I have been successful in the past with all manner of clients through many different settings – male, female, transgender, heterosexual, LGBTQ+, in inpatient, outpatient, technician, assessment, or even consulting settings. I also really enjoy working with teens and adolescents, since early brain-based interventions help everyone succeed even more in their lifetime. I find that my personality and style seem to fit best with clients who feel they are trapped in a negative routine, have no one with which to talk, or no way out of the situation from which they suffer.

Trauma & difficult life issues can spin your life out of control. Have you been cheated on? Does this betrayal feel as if you've experienced a death? Or have you actually experienced the death of a loved one? Are you trying to make sense of what's happened? Or has your worst nightmare come true? You were sexually assaulted and just can't pretend any longer how much pain you're in? Or as a couple have you reached a breaking point. The relationship just isn't working? Or are you feeling hopeless and want to give up on life? Are stress or edginess causing you sleeplessness and lack of focus. Your life has turned upside down.

Accepting NEW clients. I feel privileged that you are reading this to potentially help you, a loved one, or someone you know. I would love to join you on your journey of nurturing your emotional health. Are you the one that has been considering counseling, but keep talking yourself out of it because you have lived with many of these symptoms for so long, and think you can just keep going on with them. My philosophy in counseling is to help others be the best version of themselves, promote healing, reach their potential with their goals, guide them on how to get there while overcoming any barriers.

I’m here to help you feel less overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless or helpless. To help you quiet your brain/body, organize your thoughts, and figure out not just where all this stuff comes from, but what you can do about it. Sometimes I help people find answers inside themselves they already knew, sometimes I help people get outside of themselves and use insights from our fellow humans, from nature, science, spirituality, philosophy, you name it. I’m a straight talker, AND I don’t judge— literally, I can teach you how to use a nonjudgmental stance— and possibly most importantly, I bring some FUN to this process!

My therapy patients tend to be young adults and middle aged individuals. Affording insight in the lifespan is my goal, and I focus on reaching that goal in a number of different ways. Through better insight and goal-oriented purpose, we identify the outcomes to strive for. I have a wide-ranging experience working with young children to adults.

I specialize in treating adults with anxiety and trauma. Most people feel overwhelmed starting therapy, but we'll go at your pace. First, we'll get to know each other, building trust, and developing a plan. Next, we'll work as a team to practice new strategies, based in research, to create the life you want. I'll guide you through a process of change tailored to fit your particular identities and background (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, religious affiliation, US native or non-native, etc.).

Struggling to see the end in sight? Doubting yourself, your choices and who you show the world you are? Together we can make sense of it all. Life has a way of challenging us with experiences and situations were not always prepared for. Growth from adversity isn’t fun but you can do it! I’m here to walk this journey with you! My goal in life is to help others find the best parts of themselves, learn to love an accept all the beautiful scars that have created who you are today! Love working with all ages, individuals, couples and families. Proud member of the LGBTQIA community!

“A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are built for.” -John A. Shedd. Is PTSD or anxiety costing you more and more every day? Has avoidance of distress become your focus, rather than your family, friends, or goals? Are you finding yourself struggling to engage and be present in your own life? If any of these sound like you, are you ready to try something different?

Hi! My name is Dr. Michelle Loper and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and owner of B&L Psychotherapy and Consulting Services. Counseling can be a life-changing event but may bring about some anxiety and fear. People often come to counseling because of events that have happened and maybe they feel that things are not manageable on their own. Sometimes they need someone to talk with that can help them to find direction. It is also possible you have tried counseling before and found it to be beneficial and just need a booster to build back up your skills. If you are here looking, it is likely you may desire some change.

Therapy can transform both our inner and outer worlds by making sense of our stories, releasing what no longer serves us, and living more fully in the present. I do this work best with people who are overly responsible, self-critical, and chronically nervous, tense, or guilty. You might identify as a perfectionist or people-pleaser, and might say you "grew up too fast." Common goals include getting in touch with alienated parts of the self, freedom from self-criticism, healing from emotional abuse and neglect, navigating difficult relationships with family, and relief from symptoms of PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, or depression.

Trauma? Infidelity? Desire personal growth? Letting go of unhealthy or destructive ways of thinking - even when we know they aren't working - can be difficult and hurtful. With support, however, even the most challenging issues can be explored and addressed to help create a clearer path to the life/relationship you choose. Every person comes to therapy with a beautifully unique cultural background and personal history. I celebrate these individual differences. Ask about my specialized training for treating trauma! I am also a Board approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas.
