Female Therapists in Alvarado, TX

Welcome! My name is Victoria Williams and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with individuals and family in areas such as anxiety, anger management, behavioral issues, coping skills, and depression, amongst others. I work well with adolescents in that I listen to them and help them gain insight to understanding how their behaviors play a major role in their future. I use the cognitive behavioral therapy approach as I believe thoughts are directly tied to behaviors. Once we are able to identify irrational thoughts, we can start to learn more positive functional behaviors to respond to uncomfortable situations.

Hello. In my 15 years of experience of treating clients, I have learned that change does not come over night. If we were to be honest with ourselves, most of us are at some degree, a little uncomfortable with change. I understand the challenges associated with change. Often, we must weigh the benefit to risk ratio when assessing our lives to determine what is best. Making the behavioral and emotional change in our lives that lead us to healthier versions of ourselves is easier said than done! I am dedicated to helping others to make the transitional changes that lead them to healthier versions of themselves.

Life's problems and circumstances can often lead people to a place where they need support through therapy. For adults and young adults seeking support for mental health issues, marriage and family, career change, career advancement or coaching I focus on helping you to increase your emotional awareness and assist you in making the best use of your cognitive and emotional intelligence. I am able to work with you to increase your positive thinking, reduce unhealthy behaviors and improve self-esteem, social connections, and college or work performance.

I have a focus on starting where the client is and believe in working with my patients to maintain and improve their mental health and emotional well-being. We work together to create balance and peace during all stages of life. I have served clients throughout Central Texas for many years including combat trauma victims (PTSD) at the Department of Veterans Affairs and have established my current practice serving DFW and the Mid Cities.

Hi! I'm Penne Schulz. I am a relationship specialist working with couples -- I have over 16 years experience. And, I also specialize in trauma, working with individuals in trauma recovery and a variety of issues that can cause people to get stuck. I work as a guide looking back to see what may have been fractured and what needs mending... working in the "here and now" finding out how relief and happiness can happen NOW; and looking towards the future to see what we are aiming for - creating mile markers helping us know we are heading in the right direction.

If you are struggling with feeling as though you are worthless, unvalued, and unloved, you are struggling with your past trauma, or you are an adult with a new ADHD diagnosis, I would love to come along side you and help navigate these experiences and the emotions that come with them. I bring a listening ear, a non-judgmental attitude, and a sprinkling of sarcasm and humor to sessions. All I ask is that you be ready and open to face your struggles.

RELATIONSHIPS and STRESS MANAGEMENT are my specializations. My Culturally Sensitive Help is offered in the form of Support, Encouragement, and Teaching. Everyone who comes for counseling works on Communication and Setting Limits or Behavioral Boundaries. Clients develop decisionmaking skills so that they are more capable of solving problems for themselves when our work is done. They often know my opinions about issues because we engage with each other in a mutually respectful and direct manner. We talk about their Feelings, Thoughts, and Behaviors. I encourage and teach clients to practice good Physical and Emotional Self Care. I accept most insurances.

I believe each individual's needs are unique and will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals.

Hi. I understand that when you're hurting, you need understanding and sensitivity. I fit therapy to my individual client's personality and needs so it will work!
