Therapists in Madison County, TX

In my assessment practice, I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients, including children and teens struggling academically or behaviorally, adults who have suffered a traumatic brain injury, individuals diagnosed with medical conditions that affect the brain, older adults concerned about memory lapses or early cognitive decline, and people with complex psychiatric disorders like severe depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.

You don't have to suffer in siIence anymore. In our fast changing world, finding balance can be difficult and may even seem impossible at times. Feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and the thoughts of giving up make it hard to push forward when you have conflicting goals, objectives, and situations in your life. They can seem to happen all at once, and it feels like they are all demanding our energy, thoughts, and immediate choices in order to progress and change. Anxious or depressing thoughts and feelings accompany the trying times of life, and therapy can be a way to get yourself and/or your family up to optimal functioning.

Change is a part of life, but sometimes, change can cause a great amount of distress, especially when it is sudden and unwelcome. How people cope with change, how they view their situation, and their perceived amount of social support will determine how they will feel emotionally, physically, and mentally. It is not unnatural to be at a loss as to how to cope or where to start. It is during these times that the best thing to do is ask for help.
