Elders (65+) Therapists in Lockhart, TX

You feel alone and it seems everyone is managing life well. You may be asking yourself "what is wrong with me?". Your life feels unfulfilling and you often feel depressed, worried, or anxious. You may be struggling with painful memories or nightmares from past events, struggling to maintain healthy relationships with your spouse, your children, and your friends, even struggling to manage your work and professional responsibilities due to your high level of stress and anxiety. It feels like life should be easier and more rewarding.

I believe that all individuals, couples and families are capable of working towards positive change. I respect and appreciate the unique nature of my clients' circumstances in life. As a therapist, I bring a very creative approach into the sessions. In the first session with clients, a unique plan of development begins to emerge.

With 20+ years of professional and clinical experience, I value compassion and respect for clients as fundamental tools in accomplishing meaningful changes. I enjoy working with adults, including those intentionally exploring more meaning in their lives. Work is based on assessment, goals, and plan of action developed through a shared process. Certified as an EMDR therapist, I use EMDR to help clients address past disturbances and traumas. With 14 years as a mindfulness practitioner and five years teaching meditation, I include mindfulness in psychotherapy. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, as well.

You are feeling depressed or anxious, maybe overwhelmed and at a loss for finding direction and purpose. You are struggling to feel empowered and are often making unhealthy decisions. Your life feels out of control and your relationships are not satisfying. You may be struggling to manage school or work responsibilities due to stress or anxiety. It feels like life is so very hard and it feels impossible to have compassion for yourself or to feel connected to others in a healthy way.

You are struggling more than others, it seems. You feel lonely and isolated, and life isn’t going as you planned. You are harder on yourself than anyone else ever could be, struggling with self-compassion, relationships, and navigating life's challenges. You find yourself experiencing depression and anxiety, turning to unhealthy coping skills, distractions, and maybe even misusing substances for relief. You don’t feel empowered to create change and the life you desire.

My primary specialty is working with college students and teenagers with difficulties with adjustment, family problems, behavioral disorders and sexual abuse.

At Springer Counseling, each client is unique. You are the real expert about you. Our work together will reflect your individuality, your unique life experience, and the self-knowledge you already possess. Sessions are accessible and convenient at my office in San Marcos, Texas.

Hello! My name is Rachel. You don’t have to deal with your struggles alone. I am here to listen to your story.

Life is difficult. Things happen and traumas come up. Talking to others can feel like placing a weight or a burden on them. Sometimes judgement prevents these conversations from even happening. Everyone deserves a safe space to openly express how they feel and find any available lessons in life's trials. In some cases, validation and acceptance can be the first step to overcome a senseless trauma. Life can be full after trauma, disability, or changes in health.

Life is a Journey with many ups and downs. We never know what will happen even though we spend time trying to plan away our pain and control everything and everyone around us. If you find that your life's Journey is not where you want it to be or, you are experiencing stress and facing the pain of past traumas, I am here to help. If you want to work toward a life that brings you joy and fulfillment, I can assist you in finding your inner peace.

We have therapists who specialize in different age groups (kids, teens, young adults, middle age, and elderly), constellations (individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy), and targets (pastors & missionaries, EMDR, affair recovery, blended families, veterans, grief & loss, play therapy, etc.). If a client requests to incorporate Christian spirituality into counseling, our therapists are well trained to do so. However, we are incredibly respectful of our clients’ faith beliefs, including those who profess faith and those who do not.
