Therapists in Lockhart, TX

I work with adults ages 19+. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. I am a trauma based, and focused clinician. As a trauma informed clinician I work well with many groups of individuals that have experienced forms of trauma at different or constant points in their lives. I specialize in working with active military, veterans, first responders, and those with cooccurring disorders. I have experience with diverse populations and am multiculturally informed. I am curious of your lived experience. Although it may be the source of the pain you carry unseen, I believe in it we can also find your place to heal.

Searching for a mental health provider with compassion and experience? I have 15 years of experience treating mental illness in individuals within the inpatient and outpatient settings. Psychiatric symptoms I have treated include depressions, anxieties, mania, psychoses, traumas, grief, chronic physical illnesses and pain, those related to head injuries, behavior disturbances, and problems in relationships. My treatment approaches include supportive therapy, solution-focused therapy, existential therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, trauma-focused therapy, grief therapy, brief strategic family therapy, and psychoeducation.

I view persons as made up of emotions, thoughts, relationships, biology, and our spiritual selves. Consequently, I first help you stabilize by making necessary changes in behavior. Medical or neurological contributions and possible nutritional deficiencies are examined. I address any distorted thinking that is contributing to your emotional pain. If systems in your life (family, work, school) are a factor, they are also addressed. Finally, we work with the larger questions of existence (spiritual issues, issues of purpose/ meaning), which are all vital to mental health. All areas are dealt with from a solid grounding in scientific literature and research.

Do you feel stuck? Stuck in the same patterns of thinking, the same unhealthy habits, the same feelings of worry, distraction, anxiety, and depression. Do you wish there was a natural, non-invasive solution that could help you regain control over your life? Let me introduce you to the groundbreaking world of Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN). MCN is a scientifically proven system that allows your brain to create new patterns and responses to triggers and stressors. It's not just any therapy; it's a transformative experience that retrains your brain's electrical activity, helping you reset your brain and regulate your nervous system.

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

Are you experiencing difficulty in keeping and developing good, solid relationships with those you love? Has anyone in your family deployed to the Middle East only to return with some form of combat stress - and can't seem to shake it? Perhaps you or someone close is feeling anxious or depressed about life and can't seem to come out of it on their own. However, it is more than possible to get past those disturbing thoughts and feelings and enjoy life again. Person of faith? At your request, I can also offer a spiritual perspective along with a warm, personable approach.
