Therapists in Pflugerville, TX

Most of my experience has been with people who are still suffering a lot even though they have tried a lot of therapy and medications. I want you to know I recognize the pain of feeling like nothing can help, and respect the wisdom and willingness it takes to keep trying despite everything you have been through. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, painful or unsatisfying relationships, the impact of trauma, or unhelpful patterns in how you try to cope with overwhelming pain, I want to support you.

Now accepting NEW clients! Hi! My name is Tim Shreve and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have over 15 years of experience working with children and families from the child welfare system, to the hospital/clinical setting, and recently providing teletherapy services to local schools and residences. During those varied experiences I have worked with people with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, trauma, self-esteem issues, bullying, chronic illness, failure to cope with a diagnosis, peer pressure, substance abuse, gender identity issues, and more!

Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges, let trauma control us, or be anxious, sad, or angry all the time. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be your authentic self and have someone walk along side you in this journey. Addressing mental health and substance use concerns can be difficult even if it's not new to you. Whether you are a parent looking for help for your adolescent, a first responder being impacted by your job, or someone wanting relief, I am here to help!

We all have experiences in life that are beyond our ability to cope. Following such events, many people feel distress for weeks, months, or years after. Are you "stuck" with the thoughts and feelings brought about by one or more traumatic experiences? Have you noticed a change in your mood, relationships, or work-life following a traumatic event? If you're interested in taking steps to change your relationship to your trauma, then we may be a good fit.

Looking to feel more whole? To address inner conflict and live with greater joy and integrity despite the challenges and viscitudes of life? Together, we will help you find greater connection with your own inner guidance and resources, develop more skillful boundaries and more productive habits and awaken a deeper capacity for relational intimacy with this Life flowing in and around you. Trauma and loss, depression and anxiety, relational conflict, past mistakes and addictions don't have to create a lifelong sentence limiting your life's unique potential. I'm here to assist in your journey from Victim to Survivor to Thriving.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, a survivor of religious trauma, and someone who suffers from a chronic physical illness, I know that life is full of ups and downs. These ups and downs shape us into who we are, for better or worse, but that doesn't mean you can't make positive changes. In the past couple years I had the privilege to work with a therapist who helped me work through the best and worst parts of who I am and become proud of who I am. That is why I want to be your therapist. I want to be able to provide you with the opportunity that I had, the opportunity to become the best and most authentic person you can be.

Pain, mental suffering, and relational anguish are a part of life. The question is, what are these experiences saying for you? Desire might be inhibited, hidden by anxiety, or revealed through a symptom, but living without it seems impossible. Psychoanalysis is the process of finding out how to live with what cannot be lived without.

I work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood issues. I help persons and families address communication problems, unhealthy patterns, and rebuilding trust as well as relationship problems including infidelity and blended families and co-parenting. I work with and am welcoming of LGBTQ+ relationships, hetero relationships, poly relationships, kink, BDSM, and sex workers. Additional areas addressed include religious shame surrounding sexuality. I have completed graduate studies in religion and theology and assist persons in dealing with toxic religious wounds.

I have dedicated my life to pursuing knowledge that empowers client's to move away from both past and current sufferings. Life is challenging, please afford me the opportunity to help you navigate and heal your sufferings. Restore peace and tranquility to both your heart and your mind!

I tend to say that I am a Marine who likes Little House on the Prairie. Integrity and Honor, I strive for Mastery of Character. Character is the ability to apply the strengths of your design. Character is behavior..., but so are Vices. Relationship disorder, Self-esteem disorder, Depression, Grief, Anxiety, Trauma, [Substance] use/abuse and Addiction (Anybody can be addicted to anything), are at their core, Adjustment Disorders that just want to be resolved... With Mastery of Character..., Thinking creates Commitment; Commitments create Behaviors; And Behaviors..., create Outcomes...! Character, produces a life, that is yours...!
