Domestic Abuse Therapists in Mineral Wells, TX

I bring 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in the public sector to my private counseling practice. I support children and adults who have encountered abuse and other adversities, and specialize in assisting clients seeking to address issues associated with those experiences.

It is an honor to work with clients in their most vulnerable times, especially those struggling with eating disorders and women struggling with chronic illness, grief, life changes, divorce, and trauma (especially abuse and domestic violence). I can help you discover healing, strength and hope in whatever difficult circumstances you're in and have been through. So often, we are worried about taking care of others and feel guilty for taking care of ourselves... But you are worthy of this investment in yourself!

Greetings! Life can be overwhelming and hard to navigate sometimes, especially for our younger population. Working with children and teens is my passion. I desire to partner, not only with your child or teen, but to partner with the parents and/or caregivers to navigate life's challenges and empower the whole family towards growth and healing. I have 34 years of experience both in social work and counseling. I graduated from Tarleton State University with my Masters in Guidance and Counseling in 1998, and obtained my LPC License in 2003. I have worked in an agency setting, school setting, and private practice.

I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing space where we can explore your truth and navigate through any emotional barriers that may be hindering your growth. My goal is to support you in processing traumatic experiences and uncovering your authentic self. Utilizing modalities such as Mindfulness, Solution-Focused therapy, and Crisis Intervention, I tailor my approach to suit your specific needs.

I believe that regardless of where you've been, what you've done, or where you are now, you inherently have value and worth. My mission is to help you see your inherent worth, and to journey along a path in which we can discover the authentic you. My speciality is young adults who are survivors of trauma including, but not limited to, childhood abuse and neglect and sexual abuse. Ultimately, I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the most important thing, so I work to tailor my approach in a way that is unique and best fits each individual client.

Has the weight of the world become too heavy? We are not meant to carry it alone. I became a therapist to help others navigate the transitions, challenges, and torrential storms of their lives, just as I learned to do in my own life. The client-therapist relationship is sacred. I pride myself on the strong connection I have with my clients, so that our work is meaningful and successful. My hope is that you feel more connected to your self and others, create boundaries to strengthen those relationships, and find more creativity, confidence and contentment in your life.

Choosing the right therapist is a significant decision. So, what sets me apart? My approach is hands-on and assertive. Drawing from my rigorous military background, I've served with distinction as a Behavioral Health Specialist in the US Army and the US Army National Guard. This unique experience has exposed me to individuals from all walks of life, and from every branch of service. Beyond the military, my diverse career has spanned from entrepreneurship to legal IT and services.

Trauma is often weaved in and through the fabric of our lives. Many think of trauma as one large scale traumatic event. However, complex trauma is not always a single event. It could be a failed attachment to our care takers, experiencing abuse/neglect, multiple losses, shattered relationships, or the inability to protect ourselves emotionally with healthy boundaries. The most disturbing part of a trauma is not only the event itself, but how we perceived the event, and the internalized negative core beliefs about ourselves that developed.

I have worked primarily with POC and other American Cultural Minority populations, including South Asian survivors of domestic and sexual violence, LGBTQIA+, and many others. As a first generation Tamil-American, I have extensive personal and professional experience with model minority stressors, cultural trauma, immigration abuse, religious abuse and various other struggles common for those that identify as a minority in America. I believe that therapy is meant to be a space of mutual collaboration, to help work towards and help understand those aspects of your life that motivated you to seek guidance.

Are the dynamics of a specific relationship affecting other areas of your life? Or is something personal affecting your important relationships? Because relationships are the building blocks of life, they have the power to affect your happiness & well-being. It seems that creating a balance of love & trust between people in relationships enhances the individuals' hopes for the future of the relationship overall. Couple relationships function best when give & take is balanced & when relational fairness is made a priority. Other family relationships are similar & should also be fair & balanced in how individuals give & take & relate with one another.

I have a passion for working with people with a variety of mental health issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviors, and substance abuse issues. I believe in collaborating with my clients and their families, when appropriate, to help them identify and achieve the steps needed to live the life they want.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don't believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

I have experience in outpatient, residential, inpatient psychiatric hospital, while providing individual, couples and family therapies. Over the 27 years, I have acquired keen assessment skills and clinical interventions to assist patients with multiple issues, ranging from childhood, adulthood, abuse, trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety. I have served my clients using mainly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from systemic perspective. I personally believe in CBT (and other tools, including ACT: Acceptance Commitment Therapy). When these tools are fully embraced, it is truly an eye-opening, life-changing experience.
