Drug Abuse Therapists in Kyle, TX

Pain can lead to the most profound feelings of isolation and hopelessness. I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples, helping people during the most vulnerable times in their lives and have seen first hand how unresolved and damaged relationships have negatively impacted people and caused pain. One of people's biggest regrets at end-of-life are the relationships they have neglected. One of my greatest passions is working with individuals and families to address hurts and impasses: being both witness and participant.

Thank you for prioritizing your mental health and dedicating time to it. Welcome to my practice, Open Horizons, where I provide clinical and forensic psychological services. I believe mental health is as crucial as physical health. When our bodies feel unwell, it impacts our mood and thoughts. Alternatively, stress can manifest physically when we have a lot on our minds. You’re probably here for a reason. Perhaps you worry too much about different things? Maybe you’re feeling down, depressed, or hopeless? Are you seeking guidance in navigating your relationships? Or you might simply want to gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

How do you care for yourself? How do you deal with adversity especially when your struggling? All of us have a tendency to latch on to reasons of why we do what we do, but sometimes these reasons aren’t always true and can actually cause us and those we love more suffering. I look forward to working with you on any issue, in a safe confidential space. I have a collaborative style that focuses on the goals of healthy processing, empowerment, and self-sufficiency.

One of the greatest challenges of life is finding peace within yourself, when one is challenged by depression, anxiety, abuse or trauma that peace can sometimes feel unattainable. This is why finding the "Right" therapist can be a task in itself. As for myself, I believe that "Normal" only exist on a washing machine & finding the "Right" therapist can be just as important as finding the perfect time to pursue that peace.

Are you struggling? Are there issues in your life that seem unmanageable? I want to work with you to help you overcome the obstacles in your life. Whatever stage, whatever phase, I believe in starting where you are at, in this moment.

You're probably reading this because you're considering counseling. I think that's a great first step. No matter who you choose, I hope you meet with someone. Here's a litte about me; I hope this makes your job of selecting someone a little easier.

Most Marriage and Family Therapists study systems. Even if an individual comes alone to a counseling session, they bring many influences. My role is to help you find your unique path amid the many voices, and become your best self. I have observed that almost everyone has had a time where they wondered if they have all the necessary life tools to move in a positive direction. Utilizing a safe environment, individual creativity and resources, I have seen people truly Become.

I use a conversational therapy where the patient and therapist collaborate together to find solutions. I believe the patient knows best where they want to go, and I as a therapist help to clarify how to get there. It is my belief that though in a given moment there may be overwhelming, confused or just frustrated feelings, the human spirit and personal resources provide the tools to find meaning and growth.

**NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** "I just need a break!" Are you stuck in a pattern and can't find your way out? It can seem like you can't stop doing things that will hurt you in the long run. You find yourself saying, "This is just how I am." The story you believe about yourself- about what you deserve - is what will manifest. That narrative will run your life until you dismantle it, & rewrite it. If you aren't running it, it is running you. " The story always wins™ ". My approach is to help you figure out where you learned these things, & discard those that cause you pain & are no longer productive.

I am a psychotherapist who has been in private practice and treatment centers for over thirty years. In my early years I worked with teens/young adults and their families in residential treatment settings. In my private practice I work mostly with adults, individually and couples. However I will work with teens who have a desire to make a positive shift in their life. My focus is to help the client make changes in patterns they believe are self defeating. My mission is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies and foster personal growth.

Erin Schovanec is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and dance/movement therapist who has 16 years of experience as an expressive and creative mental health professional. Erin’s clinical experience has ranged in various treatment settings including outpatient therapy, Treatment Foster Care, and residential treatment. She has served children, adolescents, and adults experiencing symptoms related to attachment, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse.

Therapy is personal, and must be tailored to the individual client. My approach is exactly that: eclectic and client-centric. One session at a time, we will work together in determining how to best meet your wants and needs. Most important to me is providing you a safe, comfortable, judgement-free space in which you only need to be yourself; my job is to navigate the rest.

"I don't want to do these unhealthy things, but I just feel like I can't stop." Sound like something you have thought or said lately? If we don't process why we are doing the behaviors that cause us pain, we will just keep doing it. If we don't trace back where our abusive internal dialogue came from, we continue those thoughts. Are you tired? I can help.
