Therapists in Hill County, TX

I specialize in working with couples and individuals navigating disconnection, trauma/PTSD, loss/grief, and sexual difficulties. Most people I work with have at least one of these two goals: communication and connection. They struggle to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and needs honestly and effectively; they struggle to feel seen, supported and loved within their relationship. Typically, past struggles continue to negatively shape present experiences and reduce or distort future hopes and expectations. Folks often feel shut out, attacked, unwanted, devalued, inadequate, or alone - sometimes for months or years at a time.

Your partner is arguing with you about a fight from last week. He’s raising his voice, but all you hear is a voice in your head saying, “How did we get here?” You once shared a deep sense of connection and understanding and now barely make it through the week without bickering. It breaks your heart. The spark between you is gone, and the only time you’re fired up is while blaming one another. It’s devastating to feel the dreams you shared slipping away from you. You’re lonely, misunderstood, and there is a chasm in your bed that’s impossible to cross. You miss the intimacy and love you used to have. You miss your partner's love.

I work with adults (21+) whose presenting concerns are most often related to anxiety, depression, grief, spirituality, "religious deconstruction," "purity culture," "religious reconstruction," sexuality, and relationships. My guiding therapeutic modalities are attachment-focused and trauma-informed (advanced training in Somatic Experiencing). I am also trained in ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (and EFIT), and the Gottman Method for couples. My practice is open to people of every religious tradition and people with no religious affiliation. I welcome married and unmarried couples into couple therapy.

"Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations."- Brené Brown. Counseling can feel intimidating, nerve-racking, and desperate; I get it. And the reality is we cannot live life alone and we cannot heal alone. We need each other for support, encouragement, empowerment and restoration. My role as a counselor is to partner with you in your journey toward integrated wholeness and health and to provide you a safe space to be vulnerable, courageous, real and imperfect; for you to come as you are and to just be.

Hi! I'm Kiarra, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas offering teletherapy to Texas residents. I received my Masters in Couples, Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Tech University. I am also currently pursuing my PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy. My clinical work primarily focuses on: using culturally competent practices to assist couples with increasing their emotional connection, creating positive attachment experiences within families and parent-child relationships, and walking alongside trauma and abuse survivors on their journey of healing.

In the shadows where pain and resilience intertwine, I offer a safe haven for misfits and souls alike navigating the darkest depths of trauma, identity, and high-conflict storms, guiding you toward the light of healing and transformation. As a queer woman, my lived experiences drive my passion for advocating systemic equality and change. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where connection and validation thrive. You deserve to harness your inner potential and strength, and to feel empowered. Let’s walk together through the darkness, so you can reclaim your power and emerge stronger, with a renewed sense of purpose and peace.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with relationship issues in this complicated generation of our planet. Primarily, relationship problems involving complex trauma, intimacy concerns, addictive behaviors and codependency. We will carefully untangle any anxiety, self-doubt, obsessive thinking or numbing with internet addictions, work or substances that may no longer be beneficial. Emphasis is placed on integrating new experiences into your life through awareness of where you may be "stuck" in your protective fight-or-flight responses.

Welcome! My name is Brenna and I specialize in working with trauma and navigating life transitions. With extensive training in complex PTSD, I offer both EMDR and talk therapy to support your unique needs. I use various techniques in my practice, with a special affinity for experiential and emotionally focused methods. Additionally, I integrate expressive arts, attachment theory, meditation, and the mind-body connection to create a transformative and meaningful experience. My strength-based, holistic, and integrative approach is tailored to resonate with your personal journey.

Therapy can be used to find a new path through some of our greatest struggles, enhance use of the tools around & within us, and reflect when things are going well. I am passionate about supporting individuals, families, and couples through the unexpected challenges that accompany the human experience. I aim to provide a compassionate, and supportive environment to walk with clients through issues related to self-worth, attachment styles, anxiety, depression, grief, and conflict in relationships. I hope to empower you in your journey to feeling confident, secure and at peace within yourself & your significant relationships.

I believe we're shaped by biological (heredity, diet, hormones), psychosocial (peers, family, job stress), and psychological influences (thoughts, self-esteem, perfectionism). Addressing the mind-body interaction is critical. I guide and teach, helping clients learn new skills such as meditation and meridian tapping to handle life stresses. Clients who best fit my style wish to let go of negative patterns of self-doubt, guilt, worry, and feeling "never good enough." My therapy focus is here-and-now, focusing on mind-body habits, to develop new behaviors, recondition brain connections, to go beyond mere understanding or insight.

Has a pattern of bad relationships left you feeling like you just can’t get it right? Experience fear of rejection or abandonment? Do you lay in bed at night with racing thoughts? Feel like you can’t control worry? If you have anxiety or complex trauma (C-PTSD), you may feel like you’re not enough, yet somehow, too much. You fear something is wrong with you. But you're not broken, and you don’t have to live this way. Let's work to improve your relationship with yourself and with others. My goal is to help you find clarity of thought, peace of mind, and ways to improve your life from the inside out. It's not too late to begin again.

I am so glad you have decided to take some time to care for yourself. Are you struggling to feel good in your body? Do you feel out of control around food? Are you feeling anxious, depressed, and unmotivated? Have you experienced difficult situations in life, whether that be in relationships or as the result of trauma, that you can’t seem to “get over”? If you have answered “yes” to one or all of the above questions, I can help. As a Certified Eating Disorder- Consultant with training in EMDR, I have 15+ years of experience helping my clients heal their relationships with themselves, others, their bodies, and food.

You are unique, and have something valuable to express, offer, and live. We suffer when we feel cut off from this, when the circumstances and experiences of life do not reflect our deepest knowing of self. Depression, anxiety; feeling stuck, un-motivated, lost, dissatisfied with life; addiction, unhealthy relationships, illness, loss.... These are all wake-up calls, sacred opportunities to learn to love oneself more fully; invitations to transform and heal. I help people restore clarity, connection, love, and get to the root of what's blocking their full aliveness.

I believe that we grow across the lifespan. It is never too late to look inside ourselves, understand and connect with ourselves and those around us, and believe that change is possible. Even in the most painful, lonely, and frightening life situations, we can still reach out to get help – even if we don’t know what it is yet. I offer a connection and a safe place to explore your inner world, in an open and accepting manner.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of Texas, under the supervision of Heidi Johanson, MS, LPC-S. I graduated with my MS in Counseling from Abilene Christian University. I am passionate about creating a safe space for healing and growth, and believe that every person deserves the opportunity to feel seen and heard. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults from a wide range of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.

As the world continues to change and evolve, we are all faced with the challenge of how to cope with the effects of said change. Since we are all unique in our experiences, our stories are written in a voice as unique as we are. Our stories continue to be written and rewritten with each and every experience that comes our way. While our stories are being written, we deserve a space to process the experiences and challenges, that come our way.

Throughout our life journey, our stories get told by our family, community, oppressive systemic forces, etc. We often lose sight of our story, and therefore lose sight of ourselves. I work with folx who have lost the plot to their own story due to depression, anxiety, PTSD or C-PTSD, and attachment trauma from various painful connections throughout your life that has also made connecting to yourself that much more painful.

As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you deserve a provider who fully welcomes and affirms your identities, values, and lived experiences. Whether you are coming to therapy to explore gender, sexuality, or neurodiversity, work through relationship stressors or body image/eating issues, or heal from the pains of religious-based trauma, you will be seen, heard, and deeply valued in this space. In this collaborative process, we’ll work together to identify your goals and strengths to tailor your care in a client-focused way. From the start, I hope to meet you where you are at and ultimately, inspire personal growth and restoration.
