Racial Identity Therapists in Comfort, TX

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to take that first step in beginning to understand your story. Let me help you take that first step in discovering who you are. In life, we are faced with many challenges that impact all areas of our lives and those challenges can leave us at a loss in knowing how to navigate the next step. Whether the next step is for yourself, your marriage, or your family, you do not have to walk it alone.

After years in education as a college professor, teacher, and principal, my joy is working with older adolescents and young adults. My ideal client is reflective and purposeful. My clients are typically young adults transitioning to careers and learning to “adult”, adoptees discovering their identities and processing trauma, and birth/first mothers navigating grief and loss. I support my clients through reflection, trauma processing, self-discovery, and identity development so that they can embrace mental clarity live purposefully.

Hi there! I’m excited that you’ve chosen to add therapy to part of your self-care. I was raised by my Korean immigrant grandmother and Black grandfather. This informs a lot of my therapeutic approach. I believe we have to approach healing through a holistic lens and view each person as a part of many systems including their family, community, culture, religion, society, and others. Intersectionality helps us understand that we are more than one “thing.” At all times we are carrying and accessing multiple parts of our identity that mix to form something beautifully complex– YOU!

Sometimes we go through seasons in our lives in which we experience extra challenges. Reaching out for help is a courageous step to take. I am ready to walk with you in your journey by providing a calm, safe, and genuine space to help you identify and filter through feelings you are carrying inside your heart and mind that are interfering with your life balance. Together we can figure out a plan on goals to work towards to help you feel more balanced.

I use an anti-oppressive, anti-racist lens in my practice. I work with both individuals and couples who are experiencing trauma and difficulties in relationships. When working with individuals I enjoy attachment work, identity, and cultural exploration. I’ve guided couples in premarital counseling, family planning, and identifying communication strategies

I believe in humanistic philosophy. People have room to grow in order to fulfill their life yearnings. However, many life experiences possibly block that potential and these blocks show as depression, anxiety, and many other symptoms. I want to be with people to assist in the enrichment of their lives. Individuals need to be healthy in various levels to share their lives in a family and a community. We can explore together to find what is interfering in life and enrich them to reach true potentials.

Welcome :) I'm Amy and my goal as a therapist is to aid you in the process of healing attachment wounds, relationship trauma, and building healthy relationships. Throughout the course of our life, starting from when we're just children, we experience a variety of relationships that affect how we navigate our interactions with others in our day to day life. With unhealthy bonds, boundaries being broken, codependency and abuse, many struggle to uphold their values and self worth. I aim to help you find your best self, self love, and strength to take charge in your future. I strive to help you on the journey to finding a healthy life.

I am passionate about working with 1st & 2nd generation Latinx individuals that were raised in a family of immigrants while living in the US. Unintentionally, this can create a lack of belonging in your communities which can leave a profound impact on your relationship to self.

Your longing for effective communication, boundaries, and self-love is welcome and encouraged here.

The teens and adults I often work with are folks who, in their pursuit to “have it all,” are feeling stuck, lonely, and at times may feel overwhelmed by a harsh inner critic. Often times, my clients are introspective, deep thinkers and deep feelers, who want to do what's best for them and their loved ones, but struggle to find the right balance between the two for themselves.

I strongly believe in the power of resiliency and the ability to heal. “No matter how bleak or menacing a situation may appear, it does not entirely own us. It can’t take away our freedom to respond, our power to take action.” ―Ryder Carroll. I found that many concerns brought to therapy can result from unresolved pain or unhealthy coping strategies from the past. With various therapeutic training, I can help clients find the best pathway for their needs. Fear can sometimes be debilitating, so facing fear and building habitation is essential. “A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.” ―Michel de Montaig.

Sometimes we're faced with the why's (why is this happening), the what if's (what if it doesn't get better), and the how's (how am I supposed to get through this), and a lot of times these can take over, leaving us completely feeling well...hopeless. The truth is we are more resilient than we think, we can be stronger than we currently feel, and it's NOT always going to last forever.
