EMDR Therapists in Bastrop, TX

I’m proud of you for looking into taking care of yourself & your mental health through a therapeutic relationship. It can be intimidating to start therapy! Be assured, you will set the pace in a very comfortable, safe place. You can know you’re working with a counselor with over 20 years experience working with clients overcoming trauma, including domestic violence & sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, as well as neglect. If you want to explore issues with your grief, your relationship, your polyamory family, your LGBTQIA+ identity and relationships, your law enforcement career, depression or anxiety, let’s chat. You deserve it.

If you are experiencing difficulty in dealing with a traumatic past or event, I would like to help. I see individuals who are experiencing anxiety and depressive symptoms, problems in relationships, using substances as a way to cope, and are finding day to day life challenging. I help my clients to better understand what they are experiencing, identify what they want to change, and implement steps to making the changes they seek. I believe in the inner strength, resilience, and agency of each person.

Have you experienced trauma or attachment wounding? Are you in a constant state of fight or flight or dissociation and shut down? Does your nervous system feel like your enemy? Traumatic events affect people in very different ways. One thing is certain though; trauma is stored in your body and affects your mind, body, memory, mood, spirit, and relationships with yourself and with others. There is a way to befriend your nervous system, effectively heal your past wounds, cope with your current triggers, and discover your own personal post-traumatic growth and resiliency for the future.

I work with adults to address issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, chronic pain, illness and grief. I am also trained in Gottman relationship therapy. My patients learn the brain science behind the skills they are given to improve their health and quality of life. My approach is collaborative-- therapy is a journey into health and wholeness on which my patient and I travel together. I strive to provide a safe, relaxing environment in which one can move into self reflection and awareness and learn the skills to improve. i have been in private practice since 1993.

Book with me now by clicking on my website! Congratulations on taking the first step on your journey of healing and empowerment! I have been a licensed counselor for 4.5 years and in those years, I have worked alongside clients that faced challenges related to anxiety, depression, and severe mental illness. I have assisted clients exiting homelessness and those addressing substance use disorders as well.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, the impact of trauma, or relationship challenges? I believe that we are resilient, ever-evolving, and open to growth. I can help you identify and utilize your cognitive and emotional strengths and resources to develop new insights, solve problems, learn skills, increase joy, and live more authentically. I believe we manage the best we can with the resources available to us and that we seek therapy when we desire more for ourselves, believe it is possible to attain, and want guidance to help access what is already within us to go even further and deeper.

I try to co-create an environment of safety and post-crisis growth for my clients. I believe strongly that there are no malfunctioning or dysfunctional people or families; that we are all doing the best we can with what life has dealt us.

Supervised by Sidney Starling M.Ed., LPC-S, LMFT-S. You are taking the first step to your healing process, Congratulations! Thank you for taking the time to focus on your mental health by wanting to explore those areas in your life that have resulted in any kind of emotional distress. I am passionate about supporting clients in overcoming challenging situations by helping them find their own skills and strengths that can facilitate their growth and well-being.

Hi there! My name is Stephanie Knott, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with supervisor designation (LPC-S) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). With over ten years of experience, I specialize in helping clients achieve their personal goals and improve their mental well-being.

In my therapeutic work, I endeavor to create an environment that allows my clients to center-out, to breathe, to explore, to undertake, to dare, to dream, to change course, and to reconnect. As a would-be-adventurer with a penchant for curiosities and the unknown, I look forward to embarking on uncharted paths with my clients. In journeying alongside my client, my hope is that upon reaching the trailhead of their path, they're able to look around and exclaim "everything is in its right place."

Reaching out to ask for help when we are struggling is one of the biggest favors we can do for ourselves. Just as our physical health is important to maintain functioning in every day life, so is our mental health and well being. I strive to help clients get back to finding their optimal balance in life by addressing concerns they have in all aspects of their life whether it be relationship and interpersonal issues, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues or trauma that is preventing them from living their best life.

The clients I work best with are looking to make lasting adjustments in their life. They know that they are being called to a more peaceful way of living. Maybe you have made a habit that you just can't seem to stop, a memory or situation that you just can't move forward from, or you are in a relationship that is struggling. Let's work together to figure out what needs to change and how to make those changes in the healthiest way possible. If you are open to it, we will explore how practicing your faith can allow you to strengthen the adjustment you are making.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by traumas or struggling to navigate current triggers? Overwhelmed with everyday life? You're not alone. My name is Leslie Gonzalez, and I'm here to offer you the support and guidance you need to find healing and reclaim your joy and purpose. Picture yourself breaking free from the grip of life. Your goal is clear: to rediscover a sense of peace, purpose, and fulfillment in your life

Immediate Availability- Successful therapy depends on the therapist's ability to connect with the client, understand their goals, adapt to their needs, and cultivate a safe, secure space in which to foster emotional awareness and personal growth. I strive to tailor every aspect of my integrative therapeutic approach to provide the individual, couple, or family with an experience that fully embraces these principles.
