Male Therapists in North Richland Hills, TX

At The King's Forge Counseling, we believe that people can change in the ways they desire to live the lives they want. We believe healing is possible, and we understand that sometimes people just need a little, or a lot, of help to get there. It is why we do what we do. If we didn't believe this, what would be the point! We specialize in helping teens, families, couples, and individuals remember or create their goals, transform their current situation, and walk through life's fires together to find purpose. Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. Let us help you find the purpose in the fire.

With a diverse range of clients, including individuals, couples, and families, I have honed my skills in guiding them through life’s intricate challenges. I firmly believe in my clients’ innate capacity to drive positive change, and my approach centers on empowerment and motivation throughout the therapeutic process. My expertise also extends to facilitating an RPG/D&D therapy group. My client-centered methodology focuses on meeting individuals where they are, establishing an atmosphere of authenticity, openness, and empathy. These values underscore my commitment to helping clients identify and achieve their goals.

Clients I see are usually struggling with couple/relationship problems, parenting difficulty, blended family issues, anger, anxiety, adjusting to difficult life issues, and depression. Most clients are not enjoying life and want help making some changes and finding their way through pain, circumstances, and difficulty. About half of my client's are looking for a therapist who can identify with a Christian/Biblical perspective as well. I am currently only offering Teletherapy.

Accepting New Clients. Are you feeling stuck? Feeling trapped in a spiral of anxious or depressive thoughts? Trapped in negative thinking? Do you get angry easily? Feel sad or hopeless? Is your tween or teen struggling with focus, impulsivity, or other behavioral issues? Does lack of motivation, difficultly with decision making, or other challenges get in the way of setting or accomplishing personal goals? I provide mental health therapy to teens, adults, families, and couples equipping them with tools to overcome life’s challenges.

Have you tried to forget negative things in your past, but find they keep coming back up? Have you ever wondered if your struggles might mean you have PTSD? Do you carry around inescapable guilt for negative things that have happened to you? Have you been doing whatever you can to move forward and it still feels like you are in the same place of dread? If any of these sound like your concerns, I’d like to team up with you to explore some of the reasons you may been getting stuck, and work with you to create a plan to help you experience some of the movement you desire.

Hello, my name is Ramon Romero, III. I am very happy that you are looking to better yourself in therapy. I am not going to say that is going to be an easy process, but what I can promise is that I will work with YOU and together we will conquer the things that ail you. I hope that we can work together to get the help that you deserve. I primarily work with trauma, couples, men's issues, anxiety/depression, troubled youth, and anyone struggling with self esteem and self worth.

Trained in Christian marriage and family counseling - as you might expect, my practice naturally focuses on all things family. Whether I'm helping marriages rekindle their spark, discovering that ever so subtle intervention which transforms discord into family harmony, or breaking through the invisible wall of an obstinate adolescent or child - with over 35 years in the field, there's little I haven't dealt with.

My approach to therapy is from a Cognitive Behavior perspective based on Christian values. My goal in counseling is to provide my clients with alternative ways of thinking about themselves, life, relationships, etc. I have opted for this therapeutic approach because in life, every thought is tied to an emotion. Those thoughts not only affect one mentally, but physically. If an individual can change the way they view life, their current situation, and how they feel, it could ultimately change their behavior.

Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient. Its ok not to be ok. In my 17 plus years of military, law enforcement, investigative and counseling experience I have realized how hard the mental health stigmas can be on simply asking for help or support. I am here to help support you through the healing process and help you gain essential tools, techniques, and strategies to get you on track to living the life you want to lead.

I approach the therapeutic relationship from an integrative perspective viewing each person as uniquely created with individual experiences, goals, challenges, hopes, and dreams. My foundation is person-centered, and I place primary emphasis on creating and developing a therapeutic alliance. I believe it is of utmost importance to create a safe, open, and honest environment to foster a professional relationship built on trust. Each person’s individual life experience influences who they are today and with this perspective we gain insight into where we came from and can focus on where we want to go.

I'm a Licensed Counselor that enjoys working with Individuals, Families, Couples and other Counselors. I specialize in helping develop coping skills and communication skills at home and in the workplace. I love to work with anyone struggling with anxiety including racing thoughts, panic attacks, social anxiety, and chronic pessimism. Couples struggling with communication, intimacy, finances, and vulnerability are also a specialty. Lastly, I enjoy empowering young adults to reach their potential, find dignity, and step into their independence.

Counseling is recommended for those that may be currently experiencing some type of unwanted or unmanageable emotional or "thinking" difficulty that requires the assistance of a trained mental health professional. Seeking counseling should never carry a negative stigma or feelings of shame. Counseling is a therapeutic process for individuals that may have diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or difficulty in building and maintaining heathy relationships. Coaching is recommended for those that are looking for less intensive guidance in assisting them to enhance their own personal performance.

Life can be tough, with it's many challenges, distractions, and unpredictable tragedies and disappointments. Fortunately, you don't have to face them alone. I believe that through strategic planning, new learned coping skills, and spiritual guidance, personal and relational healing is possible. I love working with couples, but believe that even one person can make a difference in the condition of a relationship as they learn better ways to communicate and deal with their own issues.

Establishing your purpose, restoring hope and renewing wholeness is my best hope for you as I join with you to seek constructive solutions to keeping your mind will and emotions grounded in peace. Sometimes complications in life cause us to lose our balance and desired outcomes become fragmented.

A belief that we have the capacity to heal, overcome adversity and find joy is important to navigate life in a successful manner. However; times may come when we feel overwhelmed and we lose the ability to see our future. When we find ourselves in that place; the realization that no one is an island, can lead us to discover the road to happiness once again. My goal is to walk that path with you, guiding emotions and intellect toward a belief in oneself and confidence that you can achieve joy in life.

Do you need help with a relationship issue? I work to assist couples to move away from the problems that are interfering with their happiness and towards the solutions that will lead towards happiness once again. I am an enthusiastic and passionate therapist that enjoys watching couples move their relationship from where they are to where they have always hoped to be. I strive to help each partner function in the relationship at their very best and discover that they have the tools within themselves to stay at their very best long after therapy is complete.

I work with children of all ages, and with all parent-child problems. Recent customer comments: "Thank you for your thoroughness in helping me." "You have a very calming manner." "This is the best place I've been to. I really mean it." "I trust your professionalism beyond anyone I've met so far." "You told me to go to AA and I finally went. It's really nice to wake up and not hate myself." "I definitely feel better when I leave here." "I like it that you don't just tell people what they want to hear. You give them real life advice."

Whatever you may be going through, whether it's relational conflict, internalized distress, family issues, and or everyday struggles, I understand that everyone needs support and empathy. If you seek a collaborative, helpful guide to join you on your personal campaign to reach that which is your ideal self or that healthy relationship you seek, I will gladly accompany and thank you for the privilege. Please contact me today for a free 15 minute phone consultation.
