Therapists for Teens in Abilene, TX

Do you feel exhausted always chasing the next milestone, but it never feeling like enough? Do you feel burned out and ready to quit but still wanting to achieve your goals? or maybe a sense of self-doubt with the pressure to always perform at your absolute best? Are your relationships suffering because you prioritize your goals over your loved ones? Do you feel like something is missing or unsure of who you are outside of what you can accomplish?

Being an amazing black female therapist means embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity. It means acknowledging the unique struggles that marginalized communities face and actively working to provide support, understanding, and healing. It means using my platform to advocate for equality, justice, and mental health awareness. My goal is to break down barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health within the black community and to provide accessible and culturally sensitive care.

My orientation toward therapy is grounded in a humanistic perspective that holds individuals are inherently motivated toward well-being and self-actualization. Given a safe and supportive environment, I believe, most individuals embrace opportunities and insight to work toward changing negative patterns in their lives and to find hope and healing. From an advocacy orientation, we will utilize empowerment strategies and identify external barriers that inhibit individual development and self-advocacy skills and work through traumatic experiences and impacts from life experiences to return you to healthy functioning.

Sometimes we wake up and feel like things aren't right. We might feel stuck or that things are out of control. We might have a lot of conflicting emotions that we do not know how to regulate. We might feel alone and feel like the world is against us. It takes strength and courage to take that first step to ask for help. I want to thank you and applaud you for taking that first important step.

Hello-my name is Rachel and I want to thank you for visiting my site! Asking for help is difficult and it takes courage to take the first step in making the changes you want for your journey; that is why my first goal in therapy is to create a safe and welcoming space where you are able to share your story while being heard and valued. My second goal is to ensure that your goals are tailored to meet your specific needs. When working with individuals, couples or families, my approach is client-focused, strengths-based, and relationship-centered.

Therapy is about change. Many clients come because they are ready to explore how to make necessary or desired changes in their lives. Others reach out because they are experiencing change and need help navigating it. Ideally, clients come to the process open to seeing, thinking and doing things differently. People come to therapy usually because they have done everything they know how to do and they need a different perspective. Anxiety and depression are the most common issues that plague most clients, but everyone has unique ways that they handle their situation, their emotions and their relationships.

I can work with athletic teams on team building and performance related concerns. I can expand these topics beyond the world of sports for places including businesses and schools as well as for high risk occupations such as military personnel, firefighters, and police officers. I also work with young adult issues including depression, anxiety, and trauma (particularly related to past sexual assault). I also enjoy working with couples, families with teenagers, and LGBT individuals.

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families providing care for clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, marriage/family conflict (including domestic violence), addiction, post-partum issues, and pre-marital counseling. I have also worked with parents whose children had been placed in the foster care system. Client goals included working through their own past trauma/abuse, addiction issues, as well as protective parenting techniques

I applaud you, the first steps in seeking help can be really tough, and you did it! I worked with a variety of clients where I saw depression, anxiety, trauma, and abandonment. Together we worked to find healthy coping skills, and ways to express our emotions healthfully. Each step you want to make, I will be right there with you. Navigating through those emotions that arise can be hard, but it can be possible. I look forward to hearing from you as you start your journey.

Let's Connect!!! The opposite of addiction is CONNECTION! I believe in helping others through a holistic and integrative approach. My motto is...

With me there is a guarantee that I will hold space for you to unwind and be yourself. If you are not sure who that is, we will have fun exploring and creating endless possibilities together! Are you ready to change your story?

Hello! My name is Valerie and I'm so glad you have landed on my page. I believe in the inherent strength and capacity for growth within each individual and strive to support clients in their journey towards healing and self-discovery. My goal is to empower clients to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior while fostering self-compassion.

Are you struggling with day to day tasks? Perhaps you have been hurt in the past and have not had the time to focus on yourself and your own healing. I specialize in family issues, marriage/couple therapy, depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. I am a Certified EMDR therapist and Approved Consultant and am happy to discuss this as a potential treatment modality.

At times we all struggle with life changes such as job change or loss, the ending of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, parent-child conflict, or family-marital conflict. These changes can cause feelings of sadness, depression or anxiety. I look forward to working with clients who are seeking help with navigating life's ups and downs.
