Therapists in West Houston, Houston, TX

Life is a beautiful and challenging journey! We all deserve to find joy and fulfillment in the experience, and we all bring something valuable to those around us and the world at large. It is my goal to help you identify the strengths, skills, habits and perspectives you need to address your challenges and get the most out of your life.

Are you tired of feeling depressed? Is anxiety stopping you from reaching your goals? Are you stressed out? Are you struggling with life's curve balls? Is your child or teenager angry, defiant, stressed, or depressed? Do you have a child who is in need or behavioral intervention or skill training? Do you struggle with managing your anger? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we would like to help you find a solution that meets your needs! We are an outpatient behavioral agency that specializes in this area.

A child’s behavior is telling a story of what is going on inside. Many times, when our kids are reaching out for connection, they will behave in ways that create the opposite response. When a child is struggling to find positive ways to relate, our team of therapists come alongside them and their family to help them feel more understood, empowered, connected and loved. I believe in conducting therapy in partnership with families, pediatricians, teachers, and other specialists to ensure that each child receives a personalized treatment plan that is reinforced in all settings.

**Accepting NEW CLIENTS for IN-OFFICE and TELETHERAPY** I meet the child where s/he is at, establish foundational rapport, and work together to find sustainable and practical solutions. I started my practice, with the belief that we can plant the seed for a healthy mindset. It is never too late OR TOO EARLY to seek professional treatment for your child. If you have an inkling that your child may be struggling with behaviors, big feelings, coping, adjustment, etc., or lost his/her spunk, I encourage you to trust your instincts and reach out. I hope to journey with you in this process!

Great parents and great teachers struggle every day feeling like they can't help their kids figure out how to behave and survive their everyday life. They spend day after day fighting, yelling and being exhausted, and having nothing change. Their kids have dysregulated bodies that make them anxious, hyperactive, and sometimes even aggressive. My goal is to help these kids learn to calm and control their body and to help their adults to support them in doing this. I specialize in supporting kids with dysregulation disorders such as autism, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, and trauma.

I am a mental health counselor who is passionate about walking alongside individuals and families as they make sense and meaning of their life experiences. I hold full confidence that all clients are capable of healing and growth when they feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal as a counselor is to create a non-judgmental, supportive space where clients can work through life’s challenges, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities.

Interruptions throughout life often occur. However, some disruptions whether they are physical, social, or emotional can alter an individual's path and stunt personal growth. Jacobs Ladder Psychological Services, PLLC provides mental health services to assist the individual to get back on track to achieving their personal goals. Let Jacobs Ladder Psychological Services, PLLC help you to rebuild your dreams for success.

You are unique, therefore the most effective psychological approach must be adapted to your particular needs. There is no "one size fits all" approach, so I will work to learn about you and your concerns, while helping you in the development of better self-knowledge so you can move one step closer in achieving your goals.

Our quality of life is correlated with the quality of our relationships. Stress in relationships can be the main source of unhappiness, making us feel lonely, resentful, and exhausted. Conversely, healthy and secure relationships bring meaning, joy, and a sense of peace into our lives. Therapy can help us gain a sense of clarity and confidence when navigating relationship issues while maintaining our own sense of self. It helps us become mindful of keeping a balance between our own needs and the needs of others. This balance can greatly impact our experience of the self, and others in a positive way.

Your authentic self is waiting to burst free. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Problems will always present and often times pile on. Everyone needs a safe place to unpack and organize. We inhabit a full world where loneliness is at an all time high. Take this step for yourself. Life is challenging at best, but even when life's great there is room for growth. I am personally and professionally invested in the betterment of others. Whether you are seeking confidence, coping skills, better relationships, to process trauma or any life experience, It's my privilege to help you see how resilient and capable you are.

Knowing what is the cause of your symptoms is particularly true if you have failed 2 or more medication attempts. New technology now provides scientific evidence linking an individual's symptoms to specific neurological findings. Dr. Swatzyna works with a team of international brain scientists that uses advanced technology (EEG/qEEG brain mapping) to assist psychiatrists with medication selection and treatment planning. The best referrals for us are those who have not responded to prior treatment and believe that their prior doctors have missed something. We will identify the cause of your symptoms.
