Anxiety Therapists in River Oaks, TX

In my 27+ year career, I enjoy developing therapeutic relationships with my clients and helping them figure out what needs to change and how to most effectively, and efficiently do this. People are resilient and often know what needs to be done, but could use help identifying the steps and having non-judgemental support in carrying them out. I love people and I love my job. Let me help you figure it out.

My goal is to meet you exactly where you are on your journey, no matter what that looks like today. It's essential to understand that there's nothing inherently 'wrong' or 'broken' about you. When feelings of guilt, shame, or maladaptive behaviors become overwhelming, it's often a signal that change is needed. Whether you're facing PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance use, or navigating life transitions, I'm here to support you in understanding, managing, and addressing the root causes so you can begin your healing process.

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. This is achieved by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan tailored for your needs. I promise to be there for you every possible step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.

Struggling with life changes, or emotions that seem out of control? Sometimes in life we need help sorting out problems and finding our way to the best solution. This is the reason I pursued a counseling career, after working as an educational professional for over 30 years. My experience in education provides me with knowledge of adolescent behaviors, goal setting and addressing family/parenting issues. I’ve honed my counseling skills to also be of help in adult issues such as grief & bereavement, life changes, motivation, as well as depression, anxiety and substance use/addiction disorders.

Are you facing challenges like anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? I'm here to support you on your healing journey with compassion and experience. Together, we'll create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely. Let's work towards finding resilience, meaningful connections, and fulfillment in your life. Our focus will be on developing coping skills, enhancing communication, healing, and fostering self-acceptance.

My name is Julie Sheppard. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker. I have been in private practice since 1999.

I currently see all ranges of patients and specialize in play therapy, depression, anxiety disorders, and grief recovery. I offer sessions for adolescents that address issues that pertain to that age group.

*LPC SUPERVISION AVAILABLE. Therapy for individuals, couples and families. I work with clients who are trying to grow healthier relationships.

Thank you for visiting my profile, as your therapist I am dedicated to tailoring services to meet your specific needs in a way that honors your beliefs and values. I do work well with people from all backgrounds and with a spectrum of issues ranging from serious mental health illnesses to less pervasive adjustment problems. And I will meet clients where they are as equal and imperfect human beings and hold safe/supportive/non-judgmental space to process, heal, and grow. I am EMDR trained and working on advancing my knowledge and skill in this area to help those who have gone through any type of trauma.

My goal is to help you dismantle the self-defeating patterns in your life and relationships. I am reminded daily of the resiliency of the human spirit as people move through their emotional pains and desires to create purpose and meaning in their lives. I weave together the wisdom of many approaches to bring more understanding, courage and compassion into your life. You begin to author your life with greater awareness and move away from habitual reactions into mindful choices. New seeds, ideas, and behaviors take root allowing for healthy relationships and a balanced life.

First and foremost, it takes so much strength to reach out for help and I am glad you are here. It may have taken you a while to get here - maybe your undiagnosed ADHD put it off, or a people-pleasing part of you has put others before yourself, or a perfectionist part that felt bad that you couldn't "fix it" on your own. I believe seeking therapy and inner healing can hold joy and humor as deeply as it can confront and hold pain. My hope is to create a non-judgmental, secure space for you to safely embrace every part of you. Through it all, I will be there alongside you to remind you that you don’t have to carry it all on your own.

I am usually invited to work with other therapists, business owners, high-achieving women and college students who are facing a life change, burn-out, relationship conflict or perhaps just need a safe space to grow in “Self” awareness/compassion and get some clarity in this season.
