Strength-Based Therapists in Spicewood, TX

Do you ever wonder how you are going to get through a major life transition? When life takes you to a place of uncertainty, and you begin to question yourself and your ability to make quality decisions, wondering, "is it normal to feel this way?" Whether your changing jobs, starting a career, moving to a new area, or have a chronic illness, change can be stressful and requires a series of adjustments to get back to a sense of life balance. Much of my professional expertise focuses on life transition and the impact of change throughout the lifespan, from young teens to older adults. I provide individual, couples and family therapy.

Relationships are hard. Family relationships, romantic relationships, friendships, nobody knows how to do it perfectly. However, these relationships impact us daily and change the way we relate to the world around us and live our day to day lives. Taking care of these relationships and ourselves is imperative to our wellbeing and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside as you work toward your goals. I am honored provide a subjective space and promote intentional conversation with people who are navigating their emotions/reactions, personal goals, relationship dynamics, sexual dysfunction/issues and gender/sexuality exploration.

I am Joyce Caldwell a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and coping with life changes. My approach to therapy is I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

As a counselor I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients feel seen, heard and accepted. I want to help individuals in their journey through healing, and I believe that process begins with trust and genuineness from one’s therapist.

As people, we all continue to grow and learn throughout our lifetime. Counseling is just that, growing and learning more about yourself and how you relate to others and the world. If you don't know who you are, I would love to explore that with you. I am a strong believer in equality and in affirming who you are; your values and beliefs. I believe in celebrating and honoring our differences. Everyone struggles from time to time and my passion is to walk along side you and offer you the support you need.

I am a graduate of the Steve Hicks School of Social Work at The University of Texas. My focus is on establishing a productive therapeutic relationship with clients in order to identify and build upon their strengths while finding a sense of ease in their own being. I can assist clients experiencing substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, and grief and loss. Together, we can develop coping and distress tolerance skills, make mindfulness and self-care daily practices, and improve communication and interpersonal effectiveness. I offer a friendly, non-judgemental ear and positive feedback.

I love working with women, parents, and educators juggling work-life demands, and adolescents/young-adults adjusting to adulthood. We each have a fundamental need for connection, autonomy, and belonging. Motivation and behavior are specific and variable. I listen, reflect, and ask questions. I translate the science of wellbeing into actionable practices to help clients connect their needs, values, and strengths with their actions and visions; to raise consciousness, cultivate emotional intelligence, explore limiting beliefs, master mindsets, build relational life skills, lean into their purposes; live, love, and lead with intention.
