Domestic Abuse Therapists in Saginaw, TX

Hi there, my name is Lauren Mayberry! I am LPC Associate 89101 in the state of Texas, and I am supervised by Mariah J. Tailleur, LPC Supervisor 66631. At the University of North Texas, I received both my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2019 and my Master’s degree in Counseling in 2022. I have spent the last 4 years serving children 10+, teens and adults regarding a multitude of concerns.

I believe that at sometime in our lives we are all faced with challenges that are difficult to overcome independently. Finding the right therapist to assist in one's emotional health is just as important as finding the right doctor to improve one's physical health. Please feel free to contact me for a free "Get Acquainted" interview or with any questions that you might use to determine if my services are right for you.

Sometimes it seems that nothing works. You may feel angry, sad, or out of control and need help to navigate through rough times. I have been there! I was inspired to be a counselor by my own struggles with family codependency. There is hope! Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, cognitive behavioral, solution focused, reality, family systems, feminist, and humanistic therapies, I will help you identify what is holding you back. The goal is to provide you with the insights and tools you need to move past old, limiting beliefs and behaviors. I will provide dedicated, confidential listening to create a bright future.

I believe that everyone needs someone who will give them a safe, non-judgmental place to work through problems or stresses. I am a clinical social worker who has more than 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents and their families. I have worked with a wide range of both typical and non-typical issues related to children and adolescents, including substance abuse, gang involvement, domestic violence, trauma, school issues and family stressors.

Are you feeling stuck by some life circumstance or feel as though you need help getting through a particularly troubling season of life? I help my clients work on their individual goals by meeting the client where they are at and working with them to find solutions to whatever issues are holding them back. I primarily work with clients struggling with trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, dual-diagnoses (substance abuse in combination with other mental health diagnoses/presentations) for the past 12 years.

I've worked to build a practice that is empowering, collaborative, and human. I am grateful for every client I see, because I believe that there's something powerful about giving my clients a place where they know they will be heard and accepted no matter what. I love working with clients of all ages, whether that means doing talk therapy for adults or adolescents, working with couples, or doing play therapy with children. It's my passion to help people find wholeness and balance.

If there is one thing that I’ve learned in my more than ten years working as a therapist, it would be that life can be rough no matter who you are. And sometimes rough in ways you never thought it could be. What do YOU do when those rough times come? Not sure? Or have the ways you thought would fix things not worked? I work with individuals and couples feeling lost or unsure of what to do or where to turn when they have these rough times. I have been through times in life when I feel this way and love working with people to help find the best ways for them to deal with whatever rough patch, big or small, they may find themselves in.

Are you going through anxiety, depression, or a relationship struggle? Would you like to work with a counselor with life experience in a safe supportive environment to work through these concerns? If you have low self esteem or difficulty making or keeping boundaries, you need someone who can help you work on your sense of worth and grow your inner personal strength. If you're also looking for tools within a Christian faith-based approach, just ask me how I incorporate faith into your counseling experience.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma. Traumatic experiences can include: sexual and/or physical abuse, neglect, combat, accidents, natural disasters, grief, medical procedures, and work by first responders. In my experience, many individuals suffer from depression, anxiety, and substance abuse due to unresolved trauma. Yet, symptoms can either be eliminated or substantially resolved when it is properly processed. I have witnessed individuals, who have been unable to leave their homes or have healthy relationships, heal and transform their lives. It is fulfilling to be part of their journey.

For more than two decades, I've served as a counselor in various roles, as clinical director of psychiatric facilities, college counselor, private practitioner & clinical supervisor for counseling interns. I hold a master's degree in education with a specialization in guidance & counseling, as well as a Ph.D. in psychology. My counseling experience encompasses a wide array of areas such as women's issues, aging, depression, anxiety, self-esteem & domestic violence. I work with individuals from teenagers to adults of all ages. I believe that goals are deeply personal, and my aim is to assist individuals to reach their goals.

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.
