Female Therapists in Thorndale, TX

Hello, I have been an LPC for 3 years now and an LCDC for 8 year.

I have been certified in DBT, CBT and Trauma. I can help you in any way please do not hesitate to contact me

Remember when it felt like your partner got you better than anyone? It felt so good to be SEEN. Now, small disagreements turn into big arguments. Sometimes you don’t even know what you’re fighting about, but you keep ending up in the same painful patterns. Don’t let your defenses stand between you and your partner. If you would like support getting back on the same page, email me to book a free call.

Sometimes, life is messy. Whether you are looking for a safe space to process your emotions, heal old wounds, recover from trauma or loss, or needing help to cope with relationships and transitions, I am here to help. Maybe you aren’t even sure what you need but know something has to change. I provide clients a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where they can feel safe and show up authentically in order to create lasting change. I welcome the LGBTQ+ community. ​

I have been working as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over ten years, and as a community social worker for fifteen years. My previous places of practice include domestic violence shelters, high schools, foster care agencies, and community health clinics. I enjoy working with teens and young adults as they navigate the pressures of becoming independent and the tensions that may occur throughout that process. I specialize in supporting clients with anxiety, chronic depression, issues with communicating, struggles with family of origin, relationship conflict, and feelings of being an “outsider.”

I am passionate about helping people deepen their mind/body connection and using creativity for healing. Since graduating from Pratt Institute with a Master of Science in Dance/Movement Therapy in 2011, I have had the opportunity to work with all kinds of people in a variety of settings. As a board certified dance/movement therapist I offer individual therapy, group therapy, and supervise other clinicians.

I have been a therapist since 2001, and I truly love what I do. My hope for you is that you will find a safe and comfortable environment in my office, where you are able to speak your mind, face your fears, and achieve your personal goals. I am mostly doing virtual sessions at this time. I have a limited amount of availability for office sessions one day a week.

I believe that we are all predisposed to live happy, healthy, balanced lives. However, sometimes life experiences and nagging feelings of depression and anxiety can slow us down, making us feel stuck and hopeless. If this is where you are and would like to move toward more relaxation, peace, abundance, and joy in your life, I am here to help.

We totally get that starting therapy can feel intimidating which is why were giving therapy a modern makeover, making it cooler and more relatable than ever. Therapy is about understanding the self that you are and sometimes getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself. It's all about being real and feeling heard, exactly as you are in a space where you're free to be YOU. The greatest act of self-love is to no longer accept a life you are unhappy with. Happiness is not something you can chase. It is something you have to allow. If trauma can be passed down so can healing.

Welcome! I'm Colleen (she/her), and I'm dedicated to supporting your journey towards healing and growth. With over 5 years of experience, I specialize in guiding individuals through grief and loss, navigating the complexities of aging parents, and supporting families with intellectual or developmental disabilities. My approach integrates techniques such as mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. I have a warm therapeutic style. I believe in tailoring each session to your unique needs, understanding that every person's journey is distinct.

My passion for over 30 years has been to help people explore, identify and deal with problematic or out of control behaviors and the effects in their lives and in the lives of loved ones. I have always believed that these excessive behaviors have served as one way for people to regulate their moods, their neurochemistry, and to cope with anxiety and fears. In other words, to change the way they feel. I enjoy helping people learn to manage stress and anxiety in new ways. I also love helping people improve their relationship with themselves and others and to develop a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.

Eating Disorders , Addiction Recovery (SUDS) , Trauma IOPs are available here. We are not your traditional treatment center. Our Intensive Outpatient Programs and Center is owned by therapists and run by therapists. Our priority is the client and their wellness. Located on ten acres outside of Killeen, Texas, we use an integrative approach with numerous evidence-based therapies designed specifically for the individual's success. The incoming IOP client needs a higher level of care than someone attending therapy weekly. We offer 12-15 hours a week of intense treatments while the client lives at home. The family system is included.

I believe healing from trauma, grief, deep-seated depression, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, chronic self-doubt, wounded inner child, and inner loneliness can be possible. Life can improve, people can change, and hope and answers exist. My goal as your counselor is to nurture your emotional health for those wanting peace, healing, and accepting life’s tribulations as they come. In our counseling session, I foster you a safe place to express yourself with warmth, empathy, trust, genuineness, and respect.

PLEASE check "spam mail" for response..... Life can bring about many challenges and often we feel a need to tackle it alone. Accepting those where they are and helping them through their personal issues can increase one's equality of life. Providing support in the area of depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, past/current trauma, stress, grief and work/life balance include motivating and teaching while tailoring to your individual needs. In this path that will help you become the best version of yourself in a non-judgmental and safe place is what I strive to assist you in.

Let's explore the possibility for relationships that are richer, more tolerant, more honest, more loving, and have deeper communication.

Services include interventions for depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment/life transitions, and challenges related to gender, sexual identity, and racial and systemic oppression.
