Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Colleyville, TX

Feeling stressed? Shut down? Constant sadness? Panic attacks? Become emotionally stronger, happier, and better able to cope with life-changing events. I have 25 years of experience as a counselor. I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Psychiatric Nursing. I am open-minded, comfortable with complexity, and easy to talk with about upsetting memories from the past or present, and a wide range of psychological and medical issues.

Jennifer offers a warm, relaxed, and comfortable approach to counseling that is genuine, compassionate and solution focused. She has experience treating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood disorders, parenting, relationship issues, life transitions, perfectionism, separation/divorce, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, self-esteem, addictions, grief, ADHD, autism, goal attainment, career exploration, and more. She is flexible, person-centered and strengths based, allowing her to address your unique needs.

I specialize in "Caring for Caregivers" - because as a parent (or helping professional, educator, or medical professional), you are incredible at caring for others, but often neglect caring for yourself. You put others needs above your own, sometimes (or often, honestly) to your own discomfort. Oops. We can experience that transformation to sustainable caregiving together. I have also helped over 175 people out of suicidal ideation and it is another calling of mine to help if you or your child struggle with this.

Sable has a passion for working with trauma survivors and those seeking help with sexual/gender identity and expression. She has extensive experience working with veterans, first-responders, neurodivergent individuals, and high-achieving individuals who might feel they struggle to find the 'right fit' with a therapist. She is dedicated to helping individuals and couples struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and suicidal ideation.

Do you or your child struggle with low self-esteem and emotional regulation? Are anxious and depressive thoughts impacting daily life? These things can impact how we feel about ourselves, how we show up in relationships and how we navigate our daily life. Let's work together to overcome those feelings and change your internal dialogue to increase self-esteem, set boundaries, live within your values and reach goals to live your life in a way that feels authentic for you. My goal is to create a space where you can come to share those feelings freely and at your own pace.

We find ourselves feeling anxious, depressed, angry, and panicky we have no idea why. Negative emotions, feelings and behaviors are generally caused by unresolved earlier experiences that are pushing you in the wrong directions. The goal of EMDR therapy is to process completely the experiences that are causing problems and store them with appropriate emotions in the brain, and to include new ones that are needed to guide you in positive ways in the future.The inappropriate emotions, beliefs, and body sensations will be discarded. Leaving you with the emotions, understanding, and perspectives that lead to healthy and useful behavior.

Life is hard! Whether it be stressors of everyday life, family or marital issues, school or work-related problems or because of recent or past trauma/grief, life can become messy. It gets hard not only for oneself, but also for loved ones or those around us. The reality is it happens to ALL of us. Sometimes all we need is for someone to listen with compassion and without judgment. Sometimes we require resources or coping strategies to help navigate the obstacles life throws at us. No matter what it is we need, therapy is the first step. Therapy equips us with the tools that we need to face whatever hardships we have.

You are the expert on yourself. I will work to help you understand yourself better. I will work to help you view the world more positively. I will work to help you find ways to improve your mood and outlook on life. I will work to help you improve your relationships and communicate better. I do, though, in return, want YOU to put in the work!

Life will most certainly involve challenging transitions and we all would benefit from help with navigating life at different times. Realizing we have a problem and seeking out help and support is a brave first step for anyone. I am glad that you are here. Whether you are seeking therapy due to a desire for personal development, struggling from a profound life event or difficult transition, or experiencing symptoms or behaviors that are preventing you from having a more fulfilling or meaningful life or relationship, I am confident that we can work together to equip you with the necessary tools to overcome these challenges.

My primary experience has been working with adolescents and teens. However, I find many of those same principles can successfully be applied in our adulthood. In connecting with clients, I support your self-esteem and self-discovery through a Christian perspective. I love to help sort through those factors that have made you who you are and grow into who you want to be! Life can be a challenge at times and there is no judgement or shame seeking out therapy. Congratulations on taking the first step and acknowledging the importance of your mental health!

I am equipped with a variety of therapy models and strategies for helping individuals and families. Along with these “clinical” tools, I understand the power of providing an empathetic ear. For me, counseling is a collaborative process that involves building a confidential, unique relationship. Through this relationship, I believe it is my role to help you understand yourself and the world around you better; focusing on thoughts, feelings and behaviors that impact you and your relationship with others.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at emotionally and helping them and their parents reach their goals. Through a positive relationship with my client I try to help them gain insight into their desire to belong and have significance. I continually work to create a supportive environment for children in order for the child to gain insight and understanding into their unique world. With insight the child and therapist can collaborate to reduce the child's current stressors possibly leading to problematic behaviors.

Have you ever wanted to find ways to create healthier thought patterns? Or a healthier coping strategy?

Reaching out for support is courageous and a step towards reaching your personal goals. Whether that is managing school life, finding work-life balance, or building healthier relationships, together we can identify methods that work to improve your well-being.

Are you overwhelmed by your emotions or feeling emotionally numb? Do you find it challenging to be present in your life? Maybe you find yourself or your child reacting in ways that don't seem to reflect who you truly are. Emotions are a natural and valuable human experience and as a licensed counselor I believe that being in touch with, understanding, and processing the emotions you experience can greatly enrich your life. Anxiety, depression, and trauma experiences can each impact how you interpret your interactions, relationships, and emotions. If you feel ready to learn how to regulate your emotions, you are in the right place.

Are you feeling stuck, hurting, struggling to cope with difficult people, lonely? Do you wonder, "What is my purpose"? Do you want to make positive life changes and to experience life more fully? I can help you access untapped or forgotten resources. You can learn to choose how you want to be in the world! EMDR can set you free from painful memories, stressors, anxiety and depression.

Often the weight of the world can feel all-consuming and everyday tasks can come with fear and avoidance. Perhaps even the thought of reaching out to begin therapy ignites feelings of dread. However, deep down, you know you deserve better – because you do! I would be honored to navigate the anxiety, the stress, the sadness, and more with you. Together, we will build upon the strengths you already hold inside, and work to understand the thoughts and feelings that come with everything else.

Now offering supervision for Associates in Texas. In the midst of difficult times and challenges, we find opportunity. I believe that the moments we are pushed out of our comfort zone allow for personal growth and healing. I pull from several different approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I find that this creates a unique counseling experience for each client and provides a collaborative environment to explore.
