Therapists in Wolfforth, TX

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in clinical neuropsychology for children, adults, and seniors. I bring a compassionate, yet scientifically-based, approach to the assessment of intellectual, academic,sports, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. I specialize in traumatic brain injury, stroke, post concussion care, ADHD, PTSD, and cognitive learning disorders.

Trauma and its aftershocks suck. Trauma wounds the mind, body and spirit. It's confusing and debilitating, and it leaves you wondering whether life will get better. Trauma can make you feel, and believe, that there is something wrong with you, that you are going crazy, or that you are broken or stupid. But none of it is true. The truth is this: trauma is healable.

I am a faith-based counselor, which means that I invite clients to integrate their faith into the counseling process. I help clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, couples issues, relationship issues, pre-marital counseling, and life-span issues.

I specialize in marriage, trauma, and addiction counseling. I help couples with communication, conflict resolution, building trust, intimacy, and emotional connection. I am also trained specifically to help couples where trauma or betrayal has occurred in the relationship or in their past and how that affects marriages. I help with past trauma by processing in a SAFE environment, achieve emotional healing, coping strategies, and reduce symptoms. This can improve everyday functioning and prevent re-traumatization. I am trained to help clients take steps to achieve life long sobriety through honesty, support, and understanding.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist associate working under supervision. In my three years as a clinician I have served couples, families, and individuals experiencing problems from depression and anxiety to trauma or compulsive behaviors. I have worked in private practice, residential treatment, college mental health, and community therapy locations. My educational focus has been in sexuality, trauma, and relationship-aware therapy. I listen to your stories and problems and partner with you in healing, reimagining, and renewing your life. I use therapy modalities that emphasize the strengths you already possess.

Connection, compassion, hope, and change are the guiding principles of Every Story Counseling, private practice of Dr. Greg Johnston housed within the Playroom Lubbock. Greg practices from the belief that importance should be given to the client's current story, but that most importantly hope exists for everyone to write new pages and chapters.

**I am in Lubbock but am not accepting new clients** Are you looking to discover solutions and to make changes in your life to feel better? There are times when life becomes difficult and I believe that asking for help is a sign of strength and bravery. It takes a lot of courage to change your life. Therapy is a collaborative process where you should feel safe to express, explore, and challenge your perceptions and experiences. I approach each client with empathy and genuineness. Feeling safe and trustful of the therapy relationship is important for you to explore emotions and thoughts that may have never been shared before this.

EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, AAMFT Approved Clinical Supervisor, and Associate Professor with over 20 years of clinical experience. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families facing a variety of issues. I work from a strength based relational perspective and have helped clients with a wide range of concerns, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, domestic violence, child behavior problems, family/couple communication, grief, and other mental health concerns.

Do you have stress and anxiety related to a pending divorce, infidelity, pornography addiction, drugs/alcohol, or violence? Often these "adult" issues become problematic in households where children are involved. Are your children caught in the middle? Poor grades and oppositional/defiant behaviors can result from differing parenting styles or other conflicts between adults in the home. I understand the difficulty of seeking help in situations where feelings of embarrassment, guilt, anger, fear, or shame are involved, and assist my clients in resolving them.

It is my belief that we all need help at times in our lives, but reaching out can be difficult. Issues around addiction, trauma, communication within a relationship, and Autism can seem overwhelming. I have a strong belief that clients have the ability to resolve their own problems with some assistance. I believe that through a strong empathic working relationship, clients are capable of finding clarity and contentment in their lives. It is my job to help you through difficult times and provide you with the tools necessary to move on in your lives in a healthy way.

My goal is to create a supportive and safe environment where clients can freely explore the things in their life that are inhibiting them from personal growth and happiness. I believe therapy can help people find hope, healing, and answers. Together we will identify the issue(s), develop a treatment plan, and set guidelines to reach solutions to achieve your goals. As your therapist, I will guide you to find solutions to help overcome issues that hold you back from becoming the person you want to be and live life to your fullest extent.

After twenty years of practice, I continue to find that people are best served by a counselor who is emotionally and psychologically available to them in a time of need. I have enjoyed strong effectiveness working with depression, relationship conflict, grief, and anger management. I work with couples, older adults, teens, and children. These experiences have inspired me to incorporate multiple approaches that fit the personalities, interests and needs that people bring to my practice.

I have worked with individuals and couples for over 35 years. Some of the problems I have helped clients to solve are: communication, infidelity, trouble with relatives, "falling out of love," selecting a mate, lack of commitment, parenting, pornography, verbal abuse, and blended families. I help individuals and couples to increase intimacy, build trust, and improve satisfaction with their relationships. I also see clients for mental health issues, such as: bipolar, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD (child & adult), and OCD. I describe myself as a Christian Counselor. PersonalIy, I seek to live a biblical lifestyle through faith in Jesus Christ.

It takes a lot of guts to begin the process of your healing journey. I commend you on your courage to seek help. Here, you will be the guide to your own treatment plan.

I'm an experienced therapist with a masters degree in psychology and a doctorate in marriage and family therapy. I provide counseling for individuals, couples, and families struggling with relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, stress, decision-making, and life adjustments. I work with clients on relationship enhancement, personal growth, communication, conflict resolution, intimacy, and goal-setting. I also assist families with relationship struggles, behavioral/emotional issues, and blended/step families. In addition to seeing clients in Lubbock, Texas, I provide confidential online video therapy for clients in Nevada.

Searching for hope and healing from experiencing the trauma of betrayal, infidelity, compulsive sexual behavior, or relationship distress? Lasting, long-term recovery requires expert guidance. Individually, are you experiencing anxiety or depression? With a focus on your context, experience, and emotion, I specialize in deconstructing your presenting issues to clarify specific problems that you desire to change or respond to. I offer services by video conferencing, phone, and in-person. With similarly qualified colleagues, we offer collaborating therapists for each partner and for the relationship.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) my job is to work with clients, couples, and families to help them understand and overcome the breakdown of communication, emotional and behavioral challenges that can lead to problems in family units. As an MFT, my ultimate goal is to strive to help families understand the root causes of family systems breakdowns. As a husband, father, partner, and military veteran, I have extensive experience working with diverse cultures. My background includes working with Veterans with PTSD and their family members, as well as individuals, couples, and families to overcome temporary disagreements.
