Adults Therapists in Village, TX

I work with adults (21+) whose presenting concerns are most often related to anxiety, depression, grief, spirituality, "religious deconstruction," "purity culture," "religious reconstruction," sexuality, and relationships. My guiding therapeutic modalities are attachment-focused and trauma-informed (advanced training in Somatic Experiencing). I am also trained in ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (and EFIT), and the Gottman Method for couples. My practice is open to people of every religious tradition and people with no religious affiliation. I welcome married and unmarried couples into couple therapy.

Life can be a beautiful, complicated, perplexing mess. You may feel like you have it together most of the time. However, there are stumbling blocks that keep you from truly being your best self. Your life may look good on paper, but you feel unsatisfied and caught up in the daily grind and an endless monotony. You may be in a season where are simply surviving and not thriving. If you can see yourself in any of these situations, therapy can help you address pressing life challenges and facilitate continuous growth.

Even though we haven't met yet- I'm so proud of you for looking into therapy for yourself. Thank you for considering me as your therapist! I pride myself on being consistently encouraging, eternally optimistic, and committed to walking with my clients through all life's ups and downs.

Overwhelmed. Exhausted. Numb. These may be some of the feelings you are experiencing right now. You want something to be different, but you don’t know where to start. You may feel so consumed with taking care of others that part of you has gotten lost and you don’t know how to get back to “you.” The days go by, but it’s hard to truly connect with and trust others. You may question whether you can even trust yourself. Life has turned into avoiding pain, and the more you push the difficult feelings down, the more overwhelmed and alone you feel. If you are reading this page, some part of you is longing for something to be different.

Our goal in therapy will be helping you to explore who you are today and what has shaped you into this person. Our focus is on the whole being, i.e., body, soul, and spirit, as one cannot enjoy optimal life except that all aspects of one’s being is in harmony, i.e., healthy. Any dysfunction in the being leads to dysfunction in one’s lived experience. Lack of harmony stunts mental, emotional, and spiritual growth leading to stunted self-image, stunted ability to make productive choices, and stunted relationships.

Relationships are hard, under the best of circumstances. When "extra" challenges-like the pressure of parenting young children, struggles with communication & conflict, addiction, or life stressors are added onto our lives, it can be so overwhelming. We each are a result of many experiences- families of origin, current families, social & cultural experiences. Regardless of our circumstances, attachment science shows we all want connection & understanding. Our humanness is made up of social, emotional, spiritual & physical elements. All of these are connected & important. To respect, acknowledge & nurture these truths is my goal.

Hi, I’m Dr. Nina, licensed psychologist in Texas. I specialize in parent consultation, family, dyad, and couples therapy. Do you want to communicate with your partner but end up fighting instead? Do you feel like your relationship is going around in a circle? Both of you doing the same thing over and over, never truly resolving the underlying problem. Do you want to understand and feel close to your teen again? But they seem to be getting farther and farther away. Do you notice that your family’s status quo is no longer working? But you don’t know how to change it. If these questions resonate with you, you're in the right place.

Trauma. Anxiety. Parenting. Perfectionism. Do any of these topics cause you to feel stuck or like you aren't reaching your potential? Do you struggle to set boundaries with others? Does past trauma or abuse still trigger you at random moments? If you are coping with past trauma or current stress, we can work together to help you build coping skills or challenge the beliefs you hold about yourself that may keep you from moving forward. If you are a mom who is struggling with adjusting to parenthood, we can discuss all the emotions that come with your new role. I would love to work with you to discover contentment and confidence.
