Therapists for Teens in 77005

Are you struggling with making sense of the things life has thrown at you? Do you feel isolated, anxious or confused over things that have happened recently or years ago? Do you have a history of complex trauma? I believe each client is unique with purpose and gifts and in therapy, we work to make sense of your past, improve your present and move you toward a future that feels hopeful for you. My specialization is treating trauma, PTDS, anxiety disorders, complex grief and parents of children with special needs. I have extensive experience in treating addictions, mood disorders, life transitions, spirituality, and women's issues.

Our lives can be filled with authentic joy and I believe counseling can help individuals accomplish that goal. My role as counselor is to create an authentic environment of trust, understanding, and consistent with the client's goals. I believe in a therapeutic process that promotes change for the betterment of the client, challenging and confronting irrational thoughts and beliefs, and encouraging lived experiences and cultural lenses to be an important part of counseling. As a former dual sport college athlete, I understand the unique success and challenges that come with being an athlete at any age and any level.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling to manage the challenges and transitions in your life? Your challenges may be depression or anxiety, trauma history, relationship conflict, family/parent-child conflict, family of origin issues, health issues, caregiver stress, work/life imbalance, or a loved one with a mental illness; your transitions might be marriage, divorce, blended families, changing life stages of you/your children, aging parents, grief/loss, illness, graduation/career change, or job loss. I'd like to help you develop better coping skills, and build on the strengths and resources you already have.

I am Dr. Shyra Jones and have been fully licensed in the state of Texas since 2011. My license number is 66025. I have worked with individuals between the ages of 5 to 80 and inn a variety of settings. I like to work to develop a treatment plan that may include techniques to manage negative self-talk, limit habits that no longer work, identify strengths, and help process trauma in order to put it appropriately behind my clients. This may do through the use of expressive arts, getting in touch with the body, and “talk therapy.”

I want to help you be your most successful, healthy, and authentic self, and am here to support and empower you as a guide to overcoming your personal struggles.

I also push clients out of their comfort zones by challenging their existing thought processes and patterns.

I believe in a client-centered approach to therapy. My focus is meeting you where you are in your life's journey, and I specialize in working with couples, adolescents, young adults, and our military; as well as those suffering from PTSD, bipolar, depression, anxiety, and all of life’s stressors.

I teach healthy coping skills to address a wide range of symptoms.

I specialize in ADHD, grief work, & women's issues around anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and relationships. Through my work with young and adult women (16+), I've found that by modeling genuine self-acceptance and self-compassion, my clients are more receptive to extending grace and kindness to themselves, not just to others.

I love helping people with OCD, athletes under pressure to perform, and men whose lives and relationships are unraveling because of video games. Each of these areas resonate with me in different ways, and I have so much compassion for people going through these challenges. As someone who has personally experienced OCD, I understand, in a very real sense, how debilitating it can be. I know what it’s like to have a part of your brain whispering to you, “I can’t feel this way…I must do something to make the feeling go away, or something bad will happen.” I also know what it is like to go through treatment and get better!

There are reasons why we are the way we are and react to the world around us. Whether it be how we were raised, our school or work environment, or significant life events, we are impacted by systems and events around us. Though we try to make changes on our own, it can be challenging and feel hopeless. You have done the best you can with what you had in front of you, and this strength has led you to taking a huge step, asking for support. Through individual, couple, or family therapy, we will work together to explore how you, you and your loved one, and/ or family have been impacted.
