Therapists in Wichita Falls, TX

Are you stuck in an endless loop in your life and feel there is no way out? Your self-esteem is shot, dealing with insecurities, and anxious about what to do next in your life. You turn to drinking, overeating, the internet, or binge watch Netflix to escape the internal and external stressors. You have tried so many different things to change your life, but nothing seems to work. You believe you are not enough and are afraid to ask for help. I am here to help you. I believe therapy can change people's lives because therapy changed my life 30 years ago.

Are you stressed, overwhelmed and having trouble finding the positives around you or seeing your own strengths? Maybe you are struggling with current or past relationships or life transitions? Do you have a kiddo who is struggling behaviorally? Taking the leap to begin therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I enjoy the privilege of helping people find healing and hope through counseling. My goal is to provide a caring, accepting environment for my clients to feel safe, valued, and heard.

I have extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and adults across a range of settings. I believe in the clients ability to change and in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate healing. Areas of interest include depression, anxiety, men's issues, lifespan issues, coping skills, grief and loss, self-esteem, stress management, high functioning autism, and assisting clients in phases of ambiguity and transition. I work with individuals, couples, and families. My approach is empathic and individualistic. I use my strengths well with adults 18+, adolescents, and children 10+.

Are you a perfectionist? Do you have repeated distressing thoughts that are difficult to get rid of? Maybe you have flashbacks or triggers that stop you from doing what you once enjoyed? Hypervigilant and not feeling safe? Do you feel hollow, numb, or like you're going through the motions? High-functioning anxiety taking over? Or shame suffocating you? Maybe you've seen too much [it's just part of the job] and you find yourself thinking about it all the time? Talking may not be your thing, we can still process and reduce your symptoms.

How often do you find yourself saying "I’m fine?" Are you in a career field that requires you to be "on" all the time? Does reaching out for help feel shameful or equals weakness? Maybe you can’t share what goes on in your day-to-day because you see and hear the worst of it. You don’t enjoy the activities you once did and snap with irritation at the slightest request. Perhaps you've survived the unimaginable, but now you really want to live. I imagine it took a significant amount of courage to get to this point. I'll honor your bravery in reaching out and give you the tools to be an active participant in your life.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Anxious? Unsure? I believe relationships can be our greatest source of healing but they may need help to achieve that point. I work with individuals and couples who do not feel understood, are questioning themselves, and do not know where they are headed. Have you experienced a past trauma that you are struggling to heal from? Are you having difficulties in areas of your life that you feel should be easy? My goal is to empower my clients and meet the client where they are. I strive to make therapy a source of support in my clients' life to help them heal, grow, and thrive. I will meet you where you are.

How long have you been struggling? Trying to make sense of it all. Worried, stuck, and confused hoping things will get better. My guess is you've probably been feeling this way for a while. Rarely is help sought immediately. Most of us try to fix "it" ourselves. Keeping our feelings and thoughts hidden in the dark, afraid of what people will think. Not wanting to be a burden or even worse, weak. It doesn't have to be this way. Life doesn't have to be a struggle. You have the ability to change and I can help you.

Do you have a child or teen struggling with daily stressors or having difficulty dealing with big feelings appropriately? Are you feeling lost as a parent and wondering what to do next? Trying to find the right person for your child can be overwhelming and difficult. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate with experience in working with all ages; with a focus on ages 6-18. Some common concerns include ADHD, anger, anxiety, depression, divorce, self-esteem, stress, and social/school issues. As a counselor my style is warm, fun, hopeful, and collaborative.

Have you had enough of dealing with issues that aren't getting better? Have you tried various solutions and not receiving results? It could be time to focus on effective interventions that could help your overall well-being. I can help you address various issues that you are dealing with in life. I'm passionate about helping those struggling with various areas in life that could stem from parenting issues, grief, adhd, trauma, to autism.

Does it feel like it’s your job to please, rescue, or care for the people around you? Do you have a career that requires you to employ your ‘mind over matter’ skills and put your own needs aside to literally save lives? Maybe you can usually ‘keep it all together’ but when you unravel it feels like you’re losing control. Seeking answers can be challenging; after all, you’re the helper not the one that needs help, right? The truth is you are worthy of care as well, and I am so proud you are here and I am honored by your curiosity.

*My practice is online with no in-person service options*. Do you find yourself struggling more days than not? Is there something that happened in your past that is still affecting you today? Are your relationships with your partner, children, or parents unhealthy? Maybe you don't feel like you have a handle on your mood, stress, or ability to cope with changes in your life. Do you find yourself thinking "I'm not good enough" or other unhelpful thoughts? You might find that you have anxiety that comes at the worst moments, making it hard to thrive. What can you do when even your best support and coping isn't helping?

Perhaps you are tired of just surviving and know you need to do something different but don’t know where to start. Maybe you want to understand yourself, your relationships, and your patterns of behavior better. Having a safe space to discuss these issues is the first step towards healing and growth. If you are motivated for change and willing to trust the process, then counseling is for you.

If you are feeling lost, unsure of where you want your life to go, or just in need of a space free of judgment to process current or past struggles, my office may be the space for you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, and my aim is to provide a safe and accepting space for you to process and work through depression, anxiety, trauma, struggles caused by learning disabilities, physical disabilities, or simply the struggles of living day-to-day in a fast-paced society that does not allow most of us the breathing room we deserve.

The mood swings, stress, anxiety, disruptive thoughts, sense of hopelessness, or general frustration with the way life is going (or not going) can be overwhelming. I believe that together we can address these symptoms as well as root causes to establish or restore a sense of peace, stability, and cultivate your success. Your goals will be my goals. I am here to help. Best of luck on your wellness journey.

Counseling is often about you changing the perception of yourself and seeing your true value. Many times we cannot see all of the positives in our life because of mental obstacles surfacing from our past or from a current situation. I see the value in everyone and help guide clients to become aware of the value within themselves. I am a father of 6 children, a military combat veteran and would be honored to help with overcoming obstacles and barriers to happiness.

Do you find yourself struggling with motivation to complete small tasks or lack interest in previously enjoyable activities? Maybe you find it difficult to reach your goals due to feeling overwhelmed or unsure of yourself? Even with support from family and friends, you may not be able to move past these feelings. Together we can explore your strengths, learn how to cope with negative feelings, and identify goals to help you succeed and thrive in all aspects of your life.

My style is best described as one blending gratitude, realism and compassion. Similarly, with certifications in both DBT and EMDR, I find working with others to be an enriching process as well as learning how to be resilient in the face of change. I have also completed Level 1 Clinician Training in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy in order to help couples become better at communicating with one another and bridging those gaps which often occur in relationships.

My name is Angela Kaiser and I landed in Marriage and Family Therapy because I see the world through a systemic lens. Basically, the people we are surrounded by influence us and we have an influence on the people around us. I am a firm believer that you are never stuck, that you don’t have to live life feeling exhausted, that you are capable of overcoming the thing that’s keeping you down. You are not broken. What I have to offer you as a therapist is a safe space to be heard, a place to heal, and help you reach your goals. I approach therapy believing you are the expert in your own life, and I get to offer an outside perspective.

There is no shame in needing some help to get over humps, to work through current issues that may be hindering you from seeing the good things in life, or even to work through years of painful experiences or trauma. We are all human and at many points throughout life need to reach out to someone for help, whether it is from friends, family, or professionals. Reaching out can be difficult and a bit scary, but rest assured you are making the right choice and taking a huge step in the right direction. We will walk through this journey together.
