Therapists in The Woodlands, TX

Within themselves, each person has the power and strength to tackle the challenges and difficulties they face. It’s my job, as a clinician, to help them access that power and strength, and I do this by first providing a non-judgmental and positive environment. This allows us to identify the thoughts and perceptions that are influencing their actions, both positive and negative. Real, affirming change can happen when we openly examine the thinking that is holding us back and work to change those thoughts that are no longer servicing our goals. I’m excited to help clients with that self-examination and re-building process.

Really, I am a professional tool. I consider myself an instument to be used in your life to help you redesign, renovate, remodel, and/or rebuild your life. Everyone, at some point in their life, feels like the walls are caving in. Typically, we are good do-it-yourselfers and make repairs easily. However, life can get out of hand and the repairs can get too big for us to fix it alone. Let me help you assess the damage, redesign your blueprint, and equip you with the skills to..."Git-R-Done." It would be my honor to work alongside you.

Working through difficult emotions is a key factor in you living your best life, but sometimes fear and anxiety keeps us from accessing and processing these feelings. I can teach you not only to challenge uncomfortable emotions but to work through those deeper feelings that may get in the way of your success. I have a transtheoretical orientation and have found components of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and strengths recognition instrumental in treating my clients’ needs.

Are you tired of having the same arguments over and over again? Do you feel like your relationship is okay, but you wish it were better? Do you feel like you make positive changes in your relationship only to fall back into the same old disappointing habits? Or maybe your spouse has been unfaithful and you're struggling to feel safe in a marriage that feels very unstable, and with a person you aren't sure you recognize anymore. You aren't alone. For the vast majority of us, being happily coupled does not come naturally - it is a skill we have to learn. Luckily, these skills are teachable and learnable.

"We all have times when we feel uncertain and alone. What we are looking for is a place to be ourselves and to talk to someone who will listen and understand us, a counselor who can help us see our situation in a new way and empower us to make changes in our lives." Dr. Hall's counseling is caring and straight-forward. She believes that healing comes from gaining understanding of ourselves and remembering our strengths.

There are countless benefits when engaging in psychotherapy with the right practitioner for you. Deep and lasting change can occur in various areas of your life, and I am honored to help my clients reach their desired goals. Some of my clients simply want to feel less anxious while others may want to continue their journey of healing from trauma. I provide a safe space for clients to explore their truthful thoughts and feelings and also provide strategies to use outside of sessions. Additionally, I have a great deal of experience working with couples who report success toward their goals. My training is extensive and ongoing.

Here at our center, the goal is to provide holistic mental-health therapy services. We practice empirically-based methods for our patients with a focus on affect, behavioral, and cognitive processes. As a team, we design your treatment plan with the patient's goals in mind. Our optimal goal is for patients to establish the areas they wish to change, experience the therapeutic process in diversified ways, and be afforded the support needed to accomplish their goals in therapy. In general, we look for evidence of change through obtaining both informal and formal feedback.

My primary clinical experience lies in developing coping skills and identifying goals for adolescents and adults during transitional periods in their lives, such as, college and career counseling, pre- and post-marital counseling, and infidelity recovery. Moreover, I specialize in treatment for ADHD/ADD and offer a variety of treatment methods. Additionally, I have experience with mental health disorders varying from Personality Disorders, Bipolar 1 & 2, OCD, Depression, and Anxiety. My holistic approach to intake and treatment differentiates me from a mere psychological approach to diagnosis, assessment, and evaluation.

Life is a journey with peaks and valleys. It can be so beautiful and rewarding, but yet stressful, overwhelming, and unpredictable! Each person's journey is different and I want to help guide you to a better place. I became a counselor because I felt the need to help people and reflective listening came natural. As your counselor, I can provide empathy, emotional and academic support, guidance, encouragement, healthy coping skills, parenting skills, problem solving, social skills, overcoming life's challenges, and motivating the unmotivated. I like to work with pre-teens, teens, young adults, and adults.

I believe in treating and facilitating the individual's psychological and emotional transformation through an integrative therapeutic approach. We all yearn for love, acceptance and the capacity to reach our utmost potential! I believe in treating the 'whole person,' as I help guide my clients towards reaching their therapeutic goals through a newfound self-awareness and confidence. With healthier actions and reactions we can move forward in life as more productive, thoughtful and self-aware beings. I believe that therapy connects us more to our authentic selves, and that you can grow, with you, in a newfound space of acceptance.

Are you or your children struggling with deeply distressing or disturbing experiences known as trauma? Is the pain from your past impacting your life and relationships? Are you having a hard time managing your anxieties, worries or depression? We all face challenges, struggles and need help sometimes. I am here to listen and help you work through it. At first it can feel uncomfortable to talk to someone you do not know, but it can also be freeing once you do. Making that first phone call is the biggest step to beginning your new pathway to a happier, more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Treatment for ADULTS and TEENS struggling with some of the effects of TRAUMA like RELATIONSHIP DIFFICULTIES, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, ANGER MANAGEMENT, and ADDICTION. Ultimately, people come to me in pain or they bring someone to me in pain. Understanding that your pain, your reactions, and your responses to it make sense is a key to finding relief from suffering. If you or someone you love received something unexpected from their life experience and struggle with a "I don't even know where to start." or a "what now?", I am here for you.

Ideal clients are people who realize they are struggling. They work up the courage to seek help even if it is scary or uncomfortable. People can have a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. The list is endless! Regardless of the issues, everyone in counseling deserves to be in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment while they work through whatever is keeping them from living their best life. These clients want to feel better, live better, and cultivate personal growth. The underlying hope when choosing to seek counseling is to progress beyond the pain and celebrate the ability to overcome.

Life can be messy and unexpected but that doesn't mean you have to be defeated or debilitated by it. If you are feeling hopeless, helpless, anxious, empty or depressed I may be able to help. My job is to help to alter the focus of external to internal control. We may not be able to control changes in life, but you can be rest assured that I will help and support you to cope with your next big hurdle in life. With a compassionate and nonjudgmental approach, I help by creating an atmosphere necessary for growth and change.

Are you ready to end the toxic communication in your relationship? Are you ready to heal from the past hurts that have kept your relationship at a standstill? Not feeling heard or understood by your partner? Are you feeling stuck due to the constant back and forth about what was said, how it was said, and/or how your feelings are valid? We are ready to help your relationship get unstuck and start communicating your feelings effectively.

We all have been there before: feeling stuck, frustrated, stressed - when life starts to overwhelm you. I would love to meet with you and help you through this, together. I am here to support you and help guide you to the best version of you. My education background, life and career experiences will further help me help you. I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Trauma Focused, and Psycho-Education to serve adolescents adults, couples, and families.

*BETTER MEN, HUSBANDS & DADS* Sometimes it can feel like you've failed or haven't lived up to your loved ones (or even your own) expectations. Vulnerability can be hard, and because you're used to being the one to "fix" things, it seems there's no one who can understand or help you. You may not know what direction it takes to become the husband or father that you need to be, or maybe you know the direction but simply can't make it happen. You might feel alone, defeated, overwhelmed and just want to figure out how to make things better now.

Do you need help to regain control of your life? Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we need a little guidance to help get back on track. My goal is to develop within my clients a greater self-awareness that will build confidence, self-esteem, and provide them a greater capacity to effectively navigate the complex challenges of life.

Change is possible! Making the decision to seek therapy can be a difficult one and often comes from a place of frustration, anger, sadness, or just feeling "stuck". Therapy can be a way to help you feel "unstuck" and to help you find balance so that you're in a better position to reach your goals. I'm a firm believer that change can happen when we create a safe space for conversation. By building a therapeutic relationship and a safe environment, we can discuss ways to improve the relationships in your life and I can offer support to help you implement the positive changes you're hoping for. Hope can lead to change.
