Find a Therapist in Temple, Texas.

Psychotherapy is a general term that involves a counseling modality. My approach to counseling is very personalized and specific to the needs of the client. Sometimes it is important to go back through past history to help identify the experiences that may have led us off our course. Other times it's important to stay in the present and focus on solutions. My approach is to listen to my clients and craft a healing modality that best matches their needs. I have many tools to draw from to meet the client where he/she is.

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.

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 over assume 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.

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.

Psychotherapy is a word used to distinguish from other therapies such as Occupational or Physical therapy. Psychotherapy is counseling to help the psyche. I provide both traditional talk psychotherapy as well as creative interventions in therapy. You often hear psychotherapists referred to as a Shrink. I like to think of myself as an "Un Shrink". I like to help you turn your internal thought processes around so that you can live more fully and authentically rather than shrunken. Feeling shrunk hurts and leads to feeling the need for therapy. Feeling full, complete and good enough (i.e. un-shrunk) leads to healthy living.

This private practice is focused on helping clients create a balanced and joyful life. Everyone can discover the way that works best for him or her. It appears that we tend to focus way too much time and energy on "right vs. wrong." This seems to only cause more confusion, indecisiveness, and other insecurities. Seeking outside guidance in times of struggle can be powerful and transformative. One of the goals of this practice is to help clients discover a deeper sense of self and acceptance. Another intention of this practice practice is to help clients build and maintain the necessary tools they already have existing within themselves, and lead clients to new discoveries of living life in a more balanced and enjoyable way.
