Weight Loss Therapists in Houston, TX

Anxiety, depression and struggles from life challenges is not uncommon. I use modalities such as Exposure Therapy (ERP), ACT and CBT to help you get your life back. So why do we make it so uncommon to reach out for help? You no longer have to wait to feel "normal" again. Hi, My name is April Kitchens, LCSW and I am here to be the support that you need. I have 11 plus years of experience working with adults, children and adolescence who are in need of support in challenging situations such as OCD, Anxiety, depression and more. Weeknight and Weekend scheduling available.

Victor Frankl: “In between the stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power and freedom.” When we are anxious we can think 100,000 thoughts a day. Usually negative ones. But thoughts are not FACTS. What you do with those thoughts is what matters. If you can change the way you think, you can change the way you feel - it's that simple. Daily gratitude, mindfulness & humor are excellent tools to help you. Things come together and things fall apart. Life is like a boat ride in the ocean - let me help you find your sea legs and your life vest. And if you can learn to pause - you will catch the sunrises and sunsets.

Life's challenges can sometimes force us to shut down in order to keep going. In therapy, we look at your essential patterns of living and relating--main themes which may have begun in childhood or later. We will look at the ways you cope with and protect yourself in difficult circumstances and how effective they are. Research continues to show that the single most important element of successful therapy is the client's relationship to the therapist as a person, and with the methods of therapy. Another crucial element is the strength and courage you bring to the work.

I have good news, you are the expert of your own life and with that, you and I create a partnership and it is the foundation of our therapeutic alliance.
