Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Cypress, TX

Greetings and thank you for visiting my profile page! My name is Joycelynn Flowers- Ashton - the owner and lead clinician of Anew Psychotherapy & Wellness, PLLC. I am a LPC located in NW Houston, Cypress, and surrounding areas. Looking to get acquainted with you, addressing your concerns, needs and goals, within the parameters and foundations of Psychotherapy. I hold an empathetic and eclectic therapeutic approach. My academic background includes a doctorate in Educational Leadership, a graduate degree in Clinical Psychology and two undergraduate degrees - Psychology and Anthropology.

You want change, but not sure where to start. You feel like you have tried it all - or are now recognizing it is time for growth and healing. You feel overwhelmed by your racing mind, the negative self-talk or feelings of hopelessness. You want to build deeper connections with others, but struggle to maintain your self-worth, establish healthy boundaries or lack a sense of safety. Or maybe you just can't escape certain memories that keep replaying over and over again. Your child never listens, gets in trouble or has a hard time separating from you. You feel like you've failed as a parent.

Cognitive therapy is the process of working together to create a strong foundation for both emotional well-being and life. Core building blocks for a solid foundation include changing distorted thoughts, altering irrational behaviors, learning physiological soothing skills (such as meditation and HRV breathing) and using methods of emotional regulation. It is also essential for a person to learn to embrace a sense of unconditional worth, to grow a sense of purpose, and to live by one's values/virtues. CBT is less about searching for insight and more about practicing strong habits, that over time, lead to deep satisfaction.

Are you feeling anxious, confused, or depressed? Are you having emotional difficulties that won't go away? Have you experienced a traumatic or life-changing event? I would like to help you with immediate strategies to begin feeling better! You will be welcomed in a safe, confidential environment to discuss your situation. As we unpack all the important details, lets work together and get you back to being the best version of yourself.

Take the chaos, stress, and tension out of your relationship, so you can get the peace of mind as you enjoy each other.

You might be feeling a little lost, struggling to maintain control of your ever-rotating list of tasks and responsibilities, and the stress you feel is spilling over into multiple areas of your life. You realize that you need a little help getting everything back in order. The overwehlming emotions you're feeling are impacting your personal relationships- you are struggling to create and keep emotional or physical intimacy; your patience is wearing thin leaving you feeling more easily agitated than you remember; you're having trouble holding healthy boundaries- and you know that a better version of yourself is possible.

Being a parent is hard. Being a Christian parent, to a hurting child, in a secular world, is even harder. Your child, or even you, may be struggling with anxiety or other mental health or behavioral concerns. Perhaps your child is adopted and you need support from a therapist who knows what adoptive families need. You want your child to talk to you and tell you how they're feeling. You want to know what to say to comfort them and what to do when they're in a crisis. You want answers to all the questions swirling in your head and heart right now. I can help you answer them by teaching you about powerful, prayerful parenting.

Are you looking for relief from life’s daily stressors? How about a change from your current situation? There's no better time than now to start your new beginning.

Life can be much different than what we expected it would be like, right? Sure, on the outside, it might look to others like you have it all together... but no matter how hard you try, the reality you're experiencing is actually far from that. Your emotional energy is totally depleted. Your relationships are strained. You fight feelings of emptiness or that you're not enough. You're plagued with indecision and feel stuck. Maybe you even feel guilty that someone like you should be able to just "get over it" or "deal with it" on your own— and this guilt only perpetuates the negative cycle you’re stuck in.

Perhaps you don’t know where to go. Perhaps you’re a man that wants the best for him and his family. Perhaps you’re a single male adult, that has no purpose with his life due to life circumstances that you are currently experiencing. I know what that can feel like, and I’m sure you are looking for answers. You may want to learn a different pattern of how to navigate through your distress and mental health struggles. Perhaps you’re the type of guy that wants to be a good provider for his wife and children. You may feel all alone. Please understand that this is not the case. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here to listen.
