Strength-Based Therapists in Live Oak, TX

Sometimes it’s difficult for individuals who have experienced a tragic event or challenging childhood, to come to terms with it as adults. Unresolved issues can originate from the past, and somehow manifest through certain behavior. Even day to day struggles can be a mountain! As a therapist I believe collaborating with the client is important so that we can explore the issues together. Gaining insight is beneficial for a client to understand the root cause of the behavior. Check out my website try4you.net

Having a baby is a huge life transition individually and for the family. Change can happen in an instant but navigating your personal transition in response to that change takes time so it is important to nurture yourself through pregnancy and postpartum. During the perinatal period, anxiety can feel overwhelming especially if you are having scary thoughts and difficulty regulating emotions. You are not alone and at times motherhood is hard. It's okay to make yourself a priority and be mindful of what you are feeling and needing. When we take care of ourselves, we are then better equipped to be there for others in our life.

Congratulations on taking the first step to seeking assistance. Choosing a therapist is an extremely important part of your journey, so let me introduce myself. I am a graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Since graduating, I have focused on the children/adolescent population in talk therapy and play therapy. Play therapy is a style of counseling that provides a safe place to express self through the natural communication of the age group/stage child is in.
