Therapists in Bell County, TX

Hi! My name is Misty Carter, I’m a licensed clinical social worker. I have been working in the helping profession since 2005. I have experience working with individuals and families facing difficult and stressful situations to include depression, anxiety, behavioral challenges, trauma, communication issues, and strengthening relationships. I specialize in supporting parents of children with behavioral difficulties. Trained in NWIC Wraparound, The Nurturing Parent and utilizing techniques from TBRI I will partner with you to help you understand and correct difficult behaviors making your home a more harmonious space.

My mission as a Licensed Professional Counselor/Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor is to help my clients live a more healthy and meaningful life - in whatever way that may look for you. I have experience helping individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and histories of trauma or abuse. I have dedicated my educational and professional career to the understanding of trauma, and trauma treatment. As a US Army combat veteran, I have a vested interest in working with this population, in particular those presenting with combat trauma, PTSD, and military sexual trauma.

I am most drawn to working with clients who actively engage in the therapeutic process and demonstrate a willingness to confront challenges with openness and honesty. Clients who are motivated to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and actively participate in setting and working towards their therapeutic goals. Clients open to feedback, willing to try new strategies or techniques, and committed to personal growth and self-improvement. By collaborating with clients who are proactive and engaged, I believe we can cultivate a productive and enriching therapeutic relationship that promotes lasting change and fulfillment.

I can see children as young as 4 years old, for various concerns such as behavior issues, aggression, depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and needed coping skills. I also see adults of any age and welcome you if your concerns are grief, anger, emotion regulation, life transition issues, depression, or other things that are related.

Counseling is a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. Through counseling, the therapist and client work together to explore the client's inner world. The goal is to increase self-awareness and facilitate change in the client's life. Effective therapy requires that the counselor exhibits respect, authenticity, genuineness, empathy, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard. These qualities are at the heart of therapy and facilitate a healthy connection that allows true healing to occur. I believe the counselor must look at the client through a holistic healing frame of reference.

I became a social worker to help people to reach their full potential in all aspects of life. I believe mental wellness is achievable for anyone willing to do the work to find it!

I am a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist trained to work with various populations, with a great passion for empowering clients to overcome challenges that impact daily functioning and quality of life. I believe in the model of partnership within the therapeutic process, working together to identify and meet goals and challenges in a meaningful, non-judgmental, effective, efficient and thorough way. I look forward to supporting you in whatever therapeutic journey you find yourself on currently.

My name is Bailee and I am an LMFT Associate supervised by Jason Martin, Ph.D., LMFT-S, LPC-S. I have a deep passion and interest in working with couples. As a couple, attempting to sort out issues such as life transitions, infidelity, intimacy, or even misaligned goals and expectations, can be challenging to do on your own. When these issues are not properly addressed we often behave in counterproductive ways and experience negative emotions such as despair, loneliness, and disconnection. If you are a couple searching for ways to break negative patterns and restore connection you have come to the right place.

**Currently, I am not taking new clients.** I offer individual and couples counseling, and assessments for adults and teenagers. I have extensive training and experience in working with active duty, veterans, and civilians with anxiety, adjustment difficulties, and depression. I adjust my approach to meet each individual's/couple's needs, using well-researched treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am licensed in TX but approved through PsyPact to see teletherapy clients in several other states.

My name is Jennifer Costello and I am passionate about supporting your mental wellness. I have an earned doctor of behavioral health and a masters in social work. I am also an professor. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I believe that every client has the right to Thrive in their daily lives. If your tired of just surviving and you are ready to Thrive on Purpose, let's meet.

There are many obstacles that we face in our day-to-day routines which impact our ability to cope with situations or make appropriate decisions. No matter where we are in the journey of life, sometimes we need help in figuring out the next steps. My goal is to work with you and your unique circumstances to identify and utilize your strengths, acknowledge and address areas of growth, and attain your personal goals so that you can achieve your full potential. I believe that everyone already has the tools to be successful, they just need to know how to access and use them.
