AEDP Therapists in Sunset Valley, TX

I love working with individual adults 25+ that identify as Highly Sensitive or Empathic. I love helping people connect deeply to their inner worlds and getting clearer on their own needs, feelings, and somatic cues, which inform everything we do. Do you find yourself in the role of helper, caretaker, or even people pleaser often? Do you want to explore your identity, patterns, and unconscious drivers? I enjoy working with clients that are ready to do a deep dive, who have possibly done some work previously and are ready to move away from the cognitive, talk therapy space, alone, and want to have a new experience in therapy.

Do you feel trapped in patterns that no longer serve you? Do you feel disconnected from yourself, others, or in your relationship? Are there old wounds showing up in the present? Are you struggling with relationships and not quite sure why? When we encounter trauma or adverse experiences, we often find ourselves stuck in unhealthy cycles as a way of shielding ourselves from reliving that pain. Together, we will approach the difficulties you're facing with compassion, fostering lasting transformation. My therapeutic style is characterized by warmth, creating a space where we can explore how you can cultivate a more fulfilling life.

I view treatment as a safe space where healing can occur through the process of unpeeling multiple layers of mental and emotional patterns (conscious and unconscious), leading individuals to discover their strengths, true potential and authentic self. In this process, one can feel empowered and inspired to integrate all parts of self, even those hidden from the conscious mind. This delicate work is only possible when trust and alliance are established between therapist and client. The principles guiding this work are unconditional acceptance, compassion and non-judgment.

Now is the time to embark on a journey of deeper self-discovery, addressing past traumas, relationship patterns, or limiting beliefs. As your therapist, my aim will be to help you improve your relationships, foster deeper connections, and heal lingering wounds from the past. Together, we will create a supportive space for you to open up about your challenges, find new perspectives, and incorporate valuable insights. Through this process, we will work towards improving your overall well-being and helping you attain the inner peace you desire.

Our emotions, behaviors and relationships can be overwhelming to make sense of. Having the support of an unbiased perspective can help as we grow beyond the things that cause us discomfort. As a systems therapist, I understand the issues brought into the therapy in relation to the school, work, relational, societal and intergenerational systems involved. Yes, that does mean talking about your parents and how the messages you received in your family have shaped you. It also means talking about the ways culture, race, sexuality, work environments and history affect the ways we feel and behave.

Here's what I want you to know: It really is as bad as you think. What brought you here is worth your time and energy or it's doubtful you would be here now. My name is Steven Wright, I have bipolar and borderline personality disorder. I am a LCSW centered out of Georgetown, Texas but I presently serve the Nevada and Texas area remotely. I take a Solutions Focused, Postmodern approach, utilizing my familiarity with ACT, DBT, IFS and AEDP to create a life worth living. If you seek a companion who navigates unconventionally and want someone to help you process what is going on in your life, Book a Session with me!

My approach is based first and foremost on offering you a safe, supportive space in which you can feel free to explore, change and heal. By examining your direct experience, we can observe the habitual reactions, limitations, and outdated stories that prevent you from feeling the full richness of life. Engaging your moment to moment experience will allow you to develop a full appreciation of who you are, and move you toward the life you want to live.

We all long to feel connected, known, and loved. And when we don’t, it can create tremendous suffering. In response to our pain, we adapt and learn ways to cope- ultimately seeking to make intolerable feelings tolerable. But our coping strategies disconnect us from who we truly are and come at a high cost. I offer a therapeutic lifeline that empowers you to claim your inherent worth and inner knowing. I deeply respect and want to nurture the wisdom you hold inside yourself. You may worry that you are too flawed, but together we can rediscover your worthiness and the inherent beauty within you.

I help adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, ADHD and painful experiences heal and make needed changes. Life is messy, complicated, and hectic. It's normal to have times when you feel stuck, overwhelmed or like you don't measure up. You may have tried to make changes on your own and keep hitting the same stumbling blocks in relationships, work or school. With sensitivity and compassion, I can help you tap into your inner resources and healing ability so you can work through stuck points and feel more at peace and in control.

Are you looking to feel more joy, connection and authenticity in your life? Have you struggled to connect with your sense of agency, power and efficacy? Serving individuals and couples who seek to establish healthier relationship dynamics with themselves and others is a true gift. My passion for this work is rooted in my genuine appreciation and respect for anyone who embarks on the journey of self discovery.

Currently accepting new clients. I offer individual therapy for adults ages 18 and beyond, with an expertise in developmental trauma recovery.

Every person has the potential to live with more freedom, joy, ease, and love, and therapy supports us to realize this potential. Therapy allows the root of suffering to be explored so you can live with more peace and acceptance, increased resilience in the face of difficulty, a greater sense of autonomy, meaning, and confidence, and improved intimacy with loved ones. I specialize in working with individuals who feel stuck, restless, or dissatisfied with their lives. Some people come to me for support around specific stressors or issues, while others seek to reflect on the deeper meaning and purpose of life.

Are you overwhelmed? Anxious? Lonely? In emotional or even physical pain? Working hard to care for everyone else and coming up empty within yourself? Feeling isolated in the close relationship you care about most? Therapy offers a safe and confidential place to get some help to develop or perhaps rekindle a lively connection to yourself and your own dreams. If your relationship is suffering, it can help you regain the closeness and intimacy you once had and if you are parents help you nurture your own marriage while raising secure children.

Evening Appointments Available! Do you feel overwhelmed by work, your relationships, or changes in your life? Do you ever find yourself wondering “Why do others look like they have their lives together and I’m struggling to just be me”? It can sometimes feel too painful to explore these questions alone and even scarier to let someone else be there to explore them with you. I understand that struggle and would be honored to work with you at your pace to figure out what it takes for you to feel satisfied and fulfilled.

I collaborate with clients to resolve problems in living, to promote emotional growth and to facilitate personal and professional success. My therapeutic style is warm, direct and interactive. I believe that each of us can make mindful choices to create a gratifying life, to care for ourselves, our families and relationships. We can practice skillfully and create meaning in the difficulties and catastrophes that can complicate our course.

Let's face it... LIFE. IS. HARD. You are out here giving it your all, yet often find yourself feeling exhausted, anxious, lost, and overwhelmed. Meanwhile, everyone else seems like they've got it all figured out. Well, here's the thing: you are not alone in feeling this way, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you because of it. In fact, discovering this truth is at the heart of therapy.

Calling all overwrought individuals; you do not have to feel this way anymore. You CAN feel happy again. Whether you're a caregiver, parent, partner, entrepreneur, the perfect child or BFF to all, if you feel like YOU have gotten lost in everyone else's story, I can help you find YOUR story again. I help people reclaim their lives. Together we will identify beliefs and behaviors that may be leading you away from your best self and begin to rebuild new ways to manage your life that will help you regain self-compassion, confidence, and strength.
