Therapists in Ingram, TX

I work best with clients seeking to define and engage with the issues that are hindering their ability to function well, be happy and healthy. I am a direct, but not a directive therapist. I believe that given the strategies and tools to navigate through difficult situations most people are capable of doing what is needed to live life to the fullest. That includes one of my favorite populations, teenagers. I also enjoy treating patients, persons who will likely be managing a psychiatric condition throughout their lifetime with a combination of medical management and psychotherapy.

My role as your therapist is to provide an environment of safety, support, and growth. I am experienced in helping you understand where your issues originate from, and then working together in collaboration to make changes that will help you move forward.I am also an open-minded person and will provide a nonjudgmental atmosphere in which to confide in. I am certified as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and a proud professional member of the International OCD Foundation as a provider (IOCDF.ORG). I am now licensed to provide treatment to clients in the states of Texas and Florida.

Welcome! I'm Tiffany Newkirk. I applaud you taking the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Therapy can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you want!

First of all, I'm already proud of you for getting this far. I know how intimidating getting the ball rolling on therapy can be so the fact that you're even looking into it, speaks so much about your readiness to better yourself and your life! I treat depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors, relationship issues, and chronic illness. I view all clients as the driver of their own lives while I sit in the passenger seat to guide. I will assist you by collaboratively setting therapy goals, instilling empowerment, and equipping you with the tools needed to sustain long-term progress.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist, my approach is a client-centered in order to provide a welcoming, collaborative and empathic environment for clients to gain skills to enjoy their life. I specialize in Radically Open DBT (RODBT), an evidenced-based treatment targeting over-control coping that is linked to social isolation, poor interpersonal functioning, hyper-perfectionism, rigidity, risk aversion, lack of emotional expression, and difficult to treat mental health problems such as obsessive compulsive disorder, restrictive eating disorders, and treatment resistant anxiety and/or depression.

Does life seem to get the better of you most days? Do you feel the life you wished for has passed you by? Working with a counselor can help individuals manage stress, overcome limiting behaviors, and rediscover valued activities and goals. With a new focus, clients can experience an enhanced sense of meaning, connection, and fulfillment in life.

Talking about your concerns can help clarify what you want and need in your life. Finding choices helps us to grow and change personally and emotionally. I am here to give you the knowledge, perspective and experience gained through working with people in therapy for over 30 years. As a licensed professional counselor with experience in providing preteen, teen, couples, and individual counseling, let me offer you a warm and accepting environment where being non-judgmental is necessary to make you feel comfortable. Please note I work by telehealth only and my hours are Sunday through Friday from 7am to 3pm.

I'm here to help you navigate complex life challenges like anxiety, OCD, cultural identity, trauma, religious trauma and deconstruction, or issues related to LGBTQ+ psychology. I am a compassionate, knowledgeable therapist offering a safe, affirming space to heal and grow. I will help you understand thought patterns, align actions with values, and increase self-awareness. I am here to help you recover from past traumas, gain clarity in your identity, and build a fulfilling life that resonates with your true self.

I view clients as experts of their own experience and it is my role to provide support and facilitate growth. Therapy is a collaborative process in which we work together to identify existing strengths as well as learn new skills to help you effectively cope with life’s inevitable challenges. I work with concerns such as self-esteem, relationships, social skills, assertiveness/boundary-setting, perfectionism, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and insomnia.

Life can be messy–and by messy, I mean painful and joyous and everything in between. Counseling can provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and validated through it all. My approach is grounded in relational-cultural theory and trauma-informed counseling. I have worked with survivors of various losses and traumatic events. These experiences can result in feelings of shame and isolation. For this reason, my practice centers on healing through connection. I emphasize your safety and empowerment throughout the counseling process. I meet you where you are with warmth, non-judgment, and even a little bit of humor.

As a group of psychologists, we help kids, teens, adults, and seniors who’ve lost touch with what makes them happy or what really matters to them, often feeling pretty swamped by their emotions. We assist those struggling with depression, substance abuse, anxiety, OCD, panic, and insomnia. We have a special place in our hearts for working with the LGBTQI+ community, and we're dedicated to helping military and law enforcement personnel. Together, we find ways to get our patients' lives back in balance and reconnect them with the people and activities that truly define who they are.

Our belief is to establish a therapeutic relationship for each client to feel comfortable & heard, in a caring & judgment-free manner. We are a boutique counseling practice located in the Alamo Heights. We specialize in working with high achievers using a systemic appraoch. We have therapists with varying specialties including play therapy, teen therapy, adult counseling, OCD specialists, and couples counseling.

At Psychotherapy Associates, we believe in providing a safe, nurturing and effective psychotherapy to individuals, couples, children and families in crisis or other major life transitions. We also offer play therapy, EMDR for teens and adults, as well as court and CPS-mandated services for all age groups. Additionally, we work very closely with doctors, pediatricians, schools and other specialists out in the community to provide the best continuity of care for our clients. If we can be of help to you or someone you care about, please call or email us today for more information or to make an appointment with one of our counselors.

My goal is to help you, or your loved one, overcome any psychological and/or emotional state you may be struggling with, by providing a safe, caring, and professional environment to promote positive change towards well-being.

"I have GOT to get my shit together." If this feels like the refrain of your 20-30something life, I can help. I specialize in the struggles with angst, anxiety, ADHD or adulting that keep you from building the life that you want. Your 20's and 30's are the defining decades of a lifetime - the time to invest in therapy is NOW. If you are tired of feeling stuck, I can help you shift from insight to action and really get things moving in the right direction. Ideally located for clients in East Austin, downtown / Central Austin, and the Mueller area! Online therapy and evening/weekend appointments are available.

My therapeutic approach is holistic, relaxed, and informed by values of empowerment, collaboration, and cultural humility. I value affirming care that emphasizes safety and creativity. I use an eclectic, strengths-based approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Interpersonal Process Therapy (IPT).

I work with children, teens and young adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, life transitions, identity, and LGBTQ+ issues. Clients often begin therapy with me in search of relief from OCD/anxiety, support with transitions into college or adulthood, self-acceptance, identity exploration, ways to create more meaningful relationships with others, or parenting support. I also work with parents using SPACE to provide insight and teach skills that allow them to confidently support and respond to their child/teen struggling with OCD/anxiety. I am certified in and offer PCIT for children 7 and younger with behavioral challenges.
