Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists in Idalou, TX

Hello, I'm Vanessa Faulkner, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. My areas of expertise include trauma, geriatric neurocognitive disorders, & couples counseling. I approach each session with empathy and dedication, committed to guiding clients-individuals & couples alike-towards healing, better understanding, & stronger, healthier relationships. My passion lies in promoting mental well-being & personal growth, helping clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience. I am deeply invested in understanding the human mind & fostering a sense of self-awareness & interpersonal harmony.

We all want to be the best versions of ourselves but sometimes encounter challenges in life. Whether it be a life transition, a relationship issue, a brief or ongoing issue, the counseling process can provide you tools and strategies to be your best self. I believe that everyone has it within themselves to find solutions to their challenges. We will work together in a supportive, nonjudgmental space to transform your life to meet your goals and dreams.

Do you feel like you have no power in your life? Do you take responsibility for things out of your control? You don't have to do this alone. I want to help. I work with people from all walks of life on concerns ranging from adjustment and self-discovery to severe trauma and depression and everything in between. I use support, insight, and perspective to empower you to make positive changes in your life. Whether it is helping you to find new ways to cope with old pain, gain awareness of and alter destructive patterns, or getting a new perspective, I can help. You deserve happiness.

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.

Welcome, fellow earth wanderers to my therapy page. If you've made it this far, you are at the point of knowing something isn't quite right in your world. That means you're above and beyond the others walking through life thinking, "it's fine. I'm fine. We're fine". I'm an empathetic, open minded veteran who also will likely have a cat join in for session. I have many...let's call them therapy animals. I offer a safe, inclusive, affirming safe space. Although I'm a white male, I have years of experience working within LGBTQIA+ and POC populations and am committed to exploring unconscious bias and working in an anti racist way.

Do you have chronic pain and wonder if you can enjoy life again? Does your family struggle with addiction? Interested in reducing symptoms from a traumatic event? Trying to stop tobacco for health or prior to a surgery? Adjusting to mental illness/long term health condition and feel lost? It's my passion to guide you to a life that is as full as possible! I have been treating these issues, mood disorders, ADD/other adjustment disorders for 8+ years. My typical clients are young adults to Seniors. I see children/adults age 10 and over for chronic pain.

Currently accepting new patients in our Lubbock office and will be offering video/online therapy in 2019 for Texas residents. My goal is to help you uncover your potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Together, we will find your strengths and create the structure that allows you to function at your best. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through challenging situations, or ready to move in a new direction, I will work with you to help you achieve your goals.

Self-love and compassion are foundational to our well-being and you are as deserving of love and kindness as anyone else. As a therapist, I help clients to navigate through places in their lives where they encounter challenges or feel overwhelmed. Using empathy and maintaining a non-judgmental stance, I create a safe-haven where clients can discover their own resilience, enabling them to address and overcome obstacles that block them from a vibrant and fulfilling life. My perspective on therapy is this: Healing is not forgetting or ignoring past pain, but from gaining insight from it.

Are you searching for calm and peace in your life? Perhaps, you feel stuck or are having a difficult time moving on. Are you interested in a therapist that will work alongside you? My goal as a therapist, is to foster a safe space for you to talk openly and understand what is preventing you from reaching your goals. Our work will help you deepen your understanding of yourself and help you reach a place where you can choose how you want to exist, possibly without guilt, shame, or judgement.

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. Whether it is unresolved issues in the past or challenges of everyday life, it can feel overwhelming. Therapy is helpful to process the past or current challenges, explore and alleviate unwanted symptoms, increase awareness, discover your strength and resiliency, learn effective coping tools, and meet your goals of personal growth and healthier life. Despite obstacles, I believe that all people have the strength and ability to make empowered decisions. My goal is to provide professional, compassionate, and respectful services.
