Couples Counseling Therapists in Arlington, TX

I am here to help with any related depression and behavioral change goals. People can make better decisions if they have enough information, and they understand how their behaviors and thoughts and experiences impact them. Here are some aspects of counseling and therapy I believe and practice. Counseling includes the client’s active participation, involvement and commitment to recognize problems and concerns and changing behaviors and thoughts and feelings. Therefore, a client will probably have to work both in and out of the counseling session to address his or her concerns. There are no instant or painless or passive cures.

The impact of childhood trauma, trust and intimacy issues, communicating effectively, parenting, relationship discord, divorce, depression, are all life issues that can be overwhelming if not unpacked and addressed. The fact that you are ready for change is an important attribute to bring to therapy. I commend you for seeking counseling. Seeking counsel is considered as a wise decision, so you are doing the right thing.

Most people find me fun loving and easy going, but I take my job seriously. We will spend a lot of time in counseling talking about very private things. I don't take that responsibility lightly. Everything you tell me is handled confidentially and with respect. I try very hard not to burden you with my values. Counseling sessions with me are a “no judgment zone.” My goal for counseling is to assist you in becoming whoever you really want to be.

Who needs counseling? Why do people generally seek counseling? Counseling should not be a last resort. Many people look to counseling as a means to develop a plan for tackling life's obstacles or gain perspective - be it life pressures, trouble with romantic , parent-child, or family relationships, parenting, job related stress, or transistion. Counseling can provide a safe place to emotionally and relationally explore solutions that are right for you. Not one person's path is the same.

Therapy is a place to be seen and known and invited to heal. A collaborative and safe environment paves the way to grow, accept challenges, and move toward lasting change. A therapist sits in the hard places with clients and equips and empowers them to reach their goals.

As a Professional Counselor I seek to guide those in need of assistance through issues such as depression, coping with anxiety, blended family issues, relationship troubles, boundary training, grief, and abuse. When working with children, play therapy and directive approaches are used depending on the client and family goals. Please call to discuss if counseling would be a good option for you to improve your relationships with yourself and others!

Being a mental health professional has been a lifelong passion. I enjoy the therapeutic process and watching my clients sense of empowerment unfold so that they can achieve their desired goals. My non-directive approach allows me to meet my clients where they are and grow in the directions they want to grow with the gentle guidance that the therapeutic relationship provides. I have experience working with adults and adolescents, couples therapy as well as anger management, grief and loss, and abuse survivors.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

John Donne famously stated that "No Man is an Island." We all exist in relationship... but our relationships often become the sources of our greatest stress and pain in life. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I seek to bring hope, healing, change, and growth in the intimacy struggles that individuals, couples, and families face. If you find yourself unable to establish healthy intimacy as an individual,as a couple, as a family then I look forward to knowing how I can help you face this struggle and develop deep, meaningful relationships.

I provide short-term individual and relationship counseling designed to address my client's issues. Your first visit will be an assessment session in which you and I will determine your concerns, and if we both agree that I can meet your therapeutic needs, develop a plan of treatment.

Through strictly confidential interviews, either individual, joint, family or group, clients are helped to understand the cause of a problem and methods of dealing with that problem. I work with couples and adults on issues of anger management, depression, anxiety and adjustment issues.

I work with children of all ages, and with all parent-child problems. Recent customer comments: "Thank you for your thoroughness in helping me." "You have a very calming manner."

People generally don't seek out therapy when life or circumstances are going as they hoped or expected. For over 25 years, the practice of psychology has been my chosen profession. I consider it an honor to assist people in better understanding their circumstances and in identifying a path that can lead to growth and healing.

My approach to counseling is one of respect and show of sincerity to the individuals I meet. Among the many positive feed backs I've received is the non-judgmental, warm atmosphere I offer to allow for sharing thoughts and feelings from where we can begin the healing process. I respect cultural differences and value them as an important aspect of my clinical practice. I take special interest in relationship, trauma, and multicultural issues. I do thorough assessments and accompany you through your struggles in life. I take an active role in the sessions with questions and suggestions.

Counseling is recommended for those that may be currently experiencing some type of unwanted or unmanageable emotional or "thinking" difficulty that requires the assistance of a trained mental health professional. Seeking counseling should never carry a negative stigma or feelings of shame. Counseling is a therapeutic process for individuals that may have diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or difficulty in building and maintaining heathy relationships. Coaching is recommended for those that are looking for less intensive guidance in assisting them to enhance their own personal performance.
