Therapists in Palo Pinto County, TX

Parents school has started back up and you're feeling increasingly frustrated or helpless with your child’s behavior such as tantrums, anger control, anxiety, negative feedback from school/daycare, difficulties focusing, or struggles with self-esteem/self-confidence. My goal is to help your child improve in all these areas while also supporting you with real skills you can utilize at home. I also specialize in seeing couples and adults with concerns of anxiety, depression, life changes, PTSD and trauma. I am EMDR trained and use my skills to assist clients struggling with PTSD and unresolved trauma.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review my page. I am Luisa, a licensed counselor with many years of experience in trauma therapy, play therapy, and individual counseling. Like many other people, my life has been full of many ups and downs, but those experiences have enhanced my ability to empathize with my clients struggles. I believe in a holistic approach, integrating the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of one's life. I am trained in many modalities that I use in my practice, but one of the most important things that I do is create a safe space where you can explore and try new things in your healing journey.

I view life as a journey, and while at times we all get caught up in the storms of uncertainty, disappointment, hopelessness that cause us great pain there are opportunities for change. People are often in need of help because they want a place that provides safety, security, and hope. I help explore new options to resolve problems. I make every effort to provide my patients with a safe place to talk about their problems, hopes, and dreams, while striving to be a light for them when they are in the darkness of despair.

Are you limited by not knowing your true self or do you have troubles communicating with others? Do you question your role in a relationship, or have you thought: “How can I openly communicate with my partner about my needs, wants, and desires?” Finding and understanding the “true you” while relating to others is a difficult process to do alone. As relationship and a certified sex therapist, I specialize in treating relationship and sexual issues, helping individuals and couples navigate these challenges. Together, therapy can help you develop resiliency and new tools to connect with yourself and others.

My practice focuses on treating children and teens with depression, anxiety, attachment issues, eating disorders, substance abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity, and behavioral disorders. Play therapy is my primary tool to help children cope with issues as they grow and develop. Although the child is my client, I work to provide education and support to parents, as the child's primary support system.

I believe the process of change through therapy should not only involve self-understanding and insight into the past, but beyond that it should also focus on helping clients to learn skills for present-time challenges. Therefore my approach helps clients to develop specific skills for thinking and acting in constructive ways. I am a proponent of therapist actively collaborating with a client to help him/her find ways to manage life better.

We all have hurts that need attention and we do not always know how to do that. I believe we were created for relationships and at times those relationships or how we are going about them can be unhealthy. Due to that, we have adapted and learned coping mechanisms that have allowed us to function and move on. However, those coping mechanisms can stop working after a while and this is what creates an imbalance in our system that we need to make right or it can begin to generate stresses that spill over into other aspects of our lives.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Dr. Brooke. I currently work with kids, and teens dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, grief, and behavior issues.

Currently Accepting New Patients (Wed 1p, Tues 3p). An ideal client voluntarily comes to therapy seeking assistance resolving the struggles they experience which are interfering with their daily functioning. The client is willing to engage in the therapeutic work with their time and energy in the effort to move toward healing.

I believe every person owns an unique and authentic story. My hope is to provide a safe place for individuals to openly and honestly work though the complicated realities of their past and their present, assist them in cultivating hope and to support them as they work to experience transformation in their hearts, minds and lives. We work together to address potential obstacles-mindfully leading clients to a richer, more satisfying life. I work consistently with adolescents and adults struggling with the complexities of mental health issues. No situation is hopeless where openness, honesty and willingness is present.

There is not a specific type of therapeutic style or approach that works for everyone: age, ethnicity, all of this may play a part into stressors and how we cope with them. Therefore, the services are built around the individuals or family needs, focusing on strengths and values. I believe there is nothing we can’t overcome and the first step is seeking the help. Therapy is about acquiring the tools we need when faced with adversity. If you’re reading this, then you’re already on your way to change. Life is full of challenges, struggles, and stressful situations. WE have all been there before.

I work with clients across the lifespan helping individuals and families navigate the adversity life can throw. I work with a multicultural lens striving to understand my clients holistically and to provide a safe therapeutic environment to explore intrapersonal concerns.

My client population includes children, adolescents and adults. I work with individuals as well as families. I facilitate numerous groups and skills training curriculum in various topics including adolescent first offenders, anger management, divorce and separation, parenting, and teen issues.
