Therapists in Mclennan County, TX

I am a psychologist in Waco and I love what I do. I work with many concerns such as anxiety, depression, life adjustments, grief, relational conflict, women's issues, and identity formation. I have particular interest in working with folx presenting with sexual dysfunction, arousal and desire concerns, sexual identity formation, and intimacy distress. I am currently taking new clients who are seeking healing and restoration in their sexual functioning. In addition, I have a personal and professional investment in social issues and am intentional about promoting hope and justice in the work that I do.

I work with adults who are struggling with a depressed and/or anxious mood to experience a more hopeful and purposeful life. Former clients who had a background of trauma, grief/loss, mood disorder, or had become stuck during a time of transition say that through therapy they were able to regain a balanced and satisfying life. Counseling involves digging deep, learning new ways of thinking, challenging old behaviors, and being courageous enough to believe that you can change and grow no matter where you are in your life journey.

Have you been struggling with anxiety or depression? Have you and your spouse been in constant conflict? Maybe you're struggling to feel that you are valued. Or is there another mental disorder you've been dealing with? Whatever your struggle, we're here to help at Archer Counseling Group. All of our counselors specialize in Anxiety, Depression, and Relationships. In addition, each counselor also has their own personal list of specialties.

You may have experienced a traumatic event or traumatic relationship, either recently or in the past, and are wondering when you are ever going to feel like yourself again. You may even be experiencing anxiety, grief, depression or trouble sleeping on a daily basis. Or maybe you aren't here for yourself. Perhaps you are looking to find help for your child who is struggling making friends, dealing with a trauma themselves, or living with a disability. Well, I am glad you are here!

I aim to assist clients in improving symptoms related to anxiety disorders, depression, suicidal ideations, grief, family and relationship issues, personality disorders, career concerns, school concerns, fear of death and dying in elderly clients, stress management relating to school, trauma history, domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex education. My goal is to develop a treatment plan for the client to reach their goals to improve their interpersonal relationships, self-love, emotional language, communication skills, and more.

There is no "ideal" client in my books; we are all different and are in need of differing approaches. My role is to meet that need. It is helpful when clients come to therapy motivated for change and open to feedback. Although my specialty is chronic illnesses; I welcome anyone into my practice. I strive to create an inclusive and safe space for my clients.

My client is someone seeking help for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to changes in his/her life. (S)He may have been triggered and is now experiencing nightmares, or feeling overwhelmed. (S)He has come to realize that perhaps there have been things in the past that (s)he thought were resolved but are once more affecting him/her. My client is having difficulty sleeping, there is decreased appetite, there are times that perhaps (s)he is dealing with anger or irritability. The thoughts keep coming and (s)he cannot control them. It's hard to concentrate and the thoughts are keeping him/her up at night. Life is difficult.

Taylor’s passion is in performance psychology. She has been working towards certification in performance coaching. She also has experience treating and working with grief, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and peri/post partum depression and anxiety. Taylor loves helping those who feel as though the world is throwing everything at them except for positivity. Often, these situations can be from things that are out of our own control and it’s easy to get into a habit of negative feelings and destructive self-talk. Everyone has a story.

Sara’s goal is to give you time to take a deep breath and be yourself. In an age of social media and technology, she wants you to be able to have an open and honest conversation about whatever has brought you to seek counseling. Sara offers daytime and evening appointments via online counseling or in the Waco office.

Have you discovered that you are lacking in motivation? Confused or completely lost when it comes to your own personal purpose in life? The number one symptom I have noticed in the past few years is that people lack motivation and purpose. That might be because of trauma, grief, personal issues, or any number of events and relationships. The goal of therapy with my clients is to increase awareness, renew motivation, and rediscover purpose that aims at a better, more authentic future.

Whatever problems or challenges you are currently facing, my name is Grant and I would like to help. I primarily work with people who are diagnosed with PTSD but have worked with a wide variety of clients over the course of my career. I believe in a multifaceted and holistic approach to counseling that prioritizes the relationship between the therapist and the client while utilizing CBT, mindfulness techniques, and coping skills to improve the client's ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life.

I serve a variety of ages covering a diverse range of mental health and emotional concerns. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents between the ages of 10-17, including those in the foster care/adoption and juvenile justice systems. These concerns range anywhere from adjustment difficulties to the effects of abuse and neglect, including, but not limited to parental conflict, anger management, depression, bullying, homelessness, drug abuse, grief and loss, and anxiety. My work with adults (18+) is very similar, but also includes marriage struggles, life transitions, and faith, to name just a few.

I work with adults (21+) whose presenting concerns are most often related to anxiety, depression, grief, spirituality, "deconstruction," "purity culture," "reconstruction," sexuality, and relationships. My guiding therapeutic modalities are attachment-focused and trauma-informed (active training in Somatic Experiencing). I am also trained in ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (and EFIT), and the Gottman Method for couples. While I am most familiar with Christianity, my practice is open to people of every religious tradition and people with no religious affiliation. I welcome married and unmarried couples into couple therapy.
