Find a Therapist in Shady Shores, Texas.

The pursuit of happiness can sometimes seem to be a non-reality to individuals with extenuating circumstances in life. Adverse childhood experiences many times have a negative impact on how we view the world. We develop anxious attachments, avoidant attachments, and a combination of both. Our subconscious thoughts of what we experience in our childhood are usually the culprit of our low self-esteem, lack of assertiveness. and overall pessimism of the world. We give our clients the opportunity to explore these past realities with a listening professional ear. We process through these experiences then provide a professional psychoanalysis. From there, we work together to improve your outlook.

I create a safe environment for clients to be open and process their emotions. I will walk with you to identify experiences that may impede your sense of self. Many clients I see are working through issues related to family of origin. Once these issues are identified we begin to understand the underlying cause of our behaviors. The pain of childhood wounds, traumas, and old patterns and beliefs can negatively affect all aspects of life. I believe everyone has an inner knowing and the ability to heal. I will assist you to understand the dynamics of your family of origin so you can move forward in your life with courage.

James Hillman once said, "we've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we overassume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

My psychotherapy approach is dedicated to supporting individuals navigating a spectrum of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Beyond symptom relief, it focuses on identifying psychological root causes, fostering enhanced emotional well-being and holistic healing. Psychotherapy proves beneficial for diverse conditions, including managing stress, coping with trauma, addressing the impact of medical illness or loss, such as the death of a loved one, and treating specific mental health issues like depression or anxiety. Given the range of psychotherapies available, each may be tailored to specific clinical situations, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan.

On occasion a situation in life can come up that exceeds your ability to cope. When this occurs, turning to a counselor for assistance is just as necessary as turning to your doctor for help when you have the flu. Through counseling you can gain the tools, resources, and knowledge necessary to help you through your difficult time. Your counselor will work with you to establish a helping relationship which offers emotional safety facilitated by a non-judging and unbiased ear. Through counseling you will be more prepared to take on whatever life has thrown your way, and when you leave you will take with you new insight and new coping skills that you can use throughout your lifetime.

I use two modalities in my practice: restoration therapy and biblical principles. Restoration therapy addresses the root causes of emotional and mental health issues, restoring relationships with God, self, and others. Biblical principles provide guidance and insight for my clients, helping them find hope, healing, and direction through their faith. Together, these two modalities provide a comprehensive approach to promoting personal growth and healing.

You don't have to be crazy to benefit from therapy. Whether your particular challenge is mild or severe therapy will provide you with a compassionate and confidential place to examine and normalize your situation. I will help you understand the source of your stress or conflict and help you develop solutions. Help is available. Change is possible. Hope is a reality.

Psychotherapy can provide a setting for you to sit, talk, think, and feel. As you do so in a supportive and understanding space, you will be able to develop more mature conclusions about your circumstances. For example, you might begin to see areas where you have relinquished your power and in so doing, reclaim your power. Psychotherapy provides a unique opportunity to identify your patterns, develop self-awareness, and make new choices.

I am a strong believer in the power of talk therapy. While counseling can be an incredible step towards positive change, it also needs to be accompanied by action outside the counseling session. I will help you navigate through the mental fog, anxiety, depression, addiction, communication issues and more, and will be a collaborator in the exploration of the source of these issues as well as ways of dealing with them and having a better quality of life.

The goal of therapy is to stop the behaviors that have had devastating effects on you and those around you and to create more of what you do want in your life; healthy relationships, meaningful time with family and friends, increased productivity at work, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and sustained peace of mind.

Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers general psychotherapy via the narrative perspective of externalization from the problem. Additional subconscious processing with EMDR can facilitate cognitive narrative connections that allow for new, adaptive perspectives to emerge. While past experiences cannot be changed, the story we tell ourselves can always evolve.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and active listening. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in depth. Through a client-centered and integrative approach, clients will benefit from tailored interventions and techniques that address their unique needs and goals. I strive to empower clients to gain self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and facilitate personal growth.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.
