In Person Therapists in Austonio, TX

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Carolyn Harrison LPC-S. I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University (WHOOP!), and obtained my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. I work as an Elementary school teacher during the day and have experience working in the jail system as a mental health therapist.

I work with couples, families, teenagers, young adults and women going through hard seasons and needing to work on problem areas.

Working through difficult emotions is a key factor in you living your best life, but sometimes fear and anxiety keeps us from accessing and processing these feelings. I can teach you not only to challenge uncomfortable emotions but to work through those deeper feelings that may get in the way of your success. I have a transtheoretical orientation and have found components of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and strengths recognition instrumental in treating my clients’ needs.

I have witnessed the value of resilience through healing. In my practice, I work with clients to offer individualized treatment to who you are as person, rather than cookie cutter services. The stigma associated with therapy and mental health, especially in the minority communty is damaging. Our fear of looking “crazy”, especially in todays' society continues to hold us back. You are not crazy for getting the help you need. You deserve to heal. Your community needs you to heal so you can give back in a healthy way. Your healing is your community healing.

Do you find yourself wishing for better days? Have you lost interest in the things that once brought you joy? Are your basic responsibilities weighing you down? Life doesn't have to be about exhaustion and overwhelm day in and day out. We can work together to improve your current circumstances. I love listening to my client's stories and helping them put the pieces together. At times we may mix conversation with psychoeducation in coping skills, mindfulness, and meditation. Bravely sharing your story in counseling allows you a rare opportunity to be heard without judgment. This is a priceless opportunity to process your experience.

One day I was asked if I could have any superpower, what would it be and why? I replied, “The power of healing. If I could take away other people’s burdens, then I feel that I have done what is desperately needed for the world.” In a world full of suffering and pain, we all seek to be seen and have our voices heard. However, finding someone you can trust and open up to can be difficult. This broken world is hard to not give up on, but I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I want to walk with you through your journey and help see you through it. Life can throw many trials our way, but you do not have to navigate it alone.

I am passionate about helping individuals ages 10+ with a variety of presenting issues, including: depression, anxiety, trauma, family of origin problems, communication/boundaries, issues of faith/spirituality, suicidality/self harm, and self-worth. I hope to help my clients accomplish the goals they set for themselves, and to walk with them as they establish healthy rhythms. In my work, I like to focus on holistic health - mentally, emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually. I believe above all, my clients need a safe space to be heard and to process what they are experiencing, and it is my greatest joy to provide this.

My name is Christine (Chrissy) Wagner, and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Texas. I have a master's degree in social work, licensed clinical social work. I have over 30 years of social and human service experience in family and child welfare. I have worked with Hospice patients and families and worked with group therapy and individual therapy. I work with adults and specialize in aging, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and inner conflict, using cognitive behavioral therapy, strength-based and emotion-focused therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate who holds a Master’s of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Houston and a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Sam Houston State University. I utilize a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, and various other modalities to customize a treatment plan for each client.

I counsel professional women 25+ who are struggling to survive narcissistic relationships or post-partum depression and anxiety. If you've lost your sense of self and you’re experiencing high levels of chaos, confusion, anxiety, stress, or desperation, and wish the relationship/family system/work environment weren't so controlling OR if you're depressed and fighting to find yourself and a new normal after having a baby, please call. I offer a warm, person-centered approach that will likely include attachment and trauma work and psycho-education through talk, EMDR, and Sandtray therapies. Let's find you again so you can thrive.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a previous school counselor in Cy-Fair ISD and have a total of 20 years experience in education. I have a passion for working with families going through the fertility and postpartum process. I want to help potential families navigate their fertility journey. I have always had an interest for helping people meet and exceed their personal and professional objectives. I am a firm believer that children as well as adults cannot reach their highest potential, unless their emotional and physical needs are met first. Let me encourage you to make small, consistent steps towards change.

Relating to people in an authentic, psychological way is my favorite pastime, and lucky for me it’s also my job! I’m an eclectic therapist who is committed to delivering the best ‘You’ based therapy we can develop together, utilizing our strengths, as well as theories and techniques along the way that support the changes you desire. I work from an LGBTQ+ Affirmative lens which helps all clients to strengthen and affirm their true Self. I embrace a person-centered and solutions focused philosophy, and rely on concepts from cognitive behavioral therapy, depth psychology, sociology, self-compassion and resiliency work.

Anxiety, depression, & stress take a toll on you, your relationships, & responsibilities. I provide a caring environment to help you identify & explore issues that get in the way of a more rewarding life. I will help you learn what is causing you feel this way, & help you identify & change what is throwing life your off track. I will help you learn tools to use that will help you create positive change in your life.

Many of us today are struggling to navigate what seems to be a chaotic world, but I am here positioned to guide you through your fears, traumas, anxieties, depression and other mental health challenges you currently face. I am passionate about helping children, individuals and couples understand their core self and how they relate to others. In leaning towards a Cognitive Behavior and a Solution Focused approach to counseling, my goal is to help my clients release negative blocks, find a sense of meaning to their lives, foster a sense of hope and inevitably help them to determine how to live their best lives.

Thank you for visiting my page, I hope I can help you with your healing journey. I serve clients of all ages who have experienced traumatic events now or in the past, that is still affecting them today. Sometimes trauma or past experiences can get in the way of feeling happy and fulfilled. I am passionate about helping people to heal, become more resilient and self-aware. I work with ACT (Acceptance commitment therapy) and also include mindfulness and a person-centred approach in my work with clients.

When trauma impacts one member of a family, the ripple effects impact everyone. I believe that the best way to help children and adolescents heal is to work together with parents and caregivers to provide tools and resources for strengthening connection and encouraging positive coping.

I am a counselor and co-owner of Third Coast Counseling and Wellness. My masters degree is in Clinical Psychology and I have been working in the behavioral health field for over 10 years. I have worked in both private practice and public mental health services. I treat patients with and without health insurance using evidenced-based practices and down-to-earth sessions.
