Humanistic Therapists in West University Place, TX

I passionately work to empower clients. I believe in your ability to experience a life that you love starting now. If you choose to work with me, I will use my extensive experience and years of practice to support you in working through areas of your life where you feel hopeless, inhibited, or stuck. Come to know that there is nothing innately wrong with you. There are just problems that you have not distinguished and are not sure how to work through. I can support you in developing your own skills to work through them all. Are you ready to start down the path to experiencing a life you love? Will you contact me? Let's start moving!

I ascribe to a humanistic and psychodynamic approach and philosophy of counseling with some cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) mixed in. I focus on client’s emotions, perspectives, and life experiences, rather than just treating symptoms. I believe incongruence, internalized conditions of worth, and unhealthy core beliefs contribute to emotional and psychological distress. Each client is different, what works for one will not work for all. I use a dynamically informed approach in order to create a treatment plan that is best suited to a client's unique needs and goals.

I am proud to work with clients whose brains are different, whose ways of looking at and interacting with the world are unique, and who are looking to untangle their authentic selves from the mask society pushed them to wear, learn to love/accept themselves as they are, and use this radical self-love to make the changes they want to see. Creative, brave, bold, spicy, innovative, intelligent, justice-oriented - these are the traits that were already there inside those wonderful human beings I serve, and one way or another the world tried to bury them. But the world didn't know they were seeds.

Are you struggling to make your relationship work? Are you depressed or lonely, but can't figure out why? Are you not sure that your relationship works for you any longer? Do you have an important decision to make in your life, but have difficulty deciding what to do? If there were simple solutions to these problems you would have already discovered them! I work with clients to find deep insights and make difficult decisions in a safe, supportive environment . I help couples decide about their relationship future, discover forgotten aspects of their love, and create new possibilities.

Only the strongest and most courageous know when it is time to get help. Together we can work through nearly any difficulty. I personalize my counseling and coaching practices based on your or your family's needs, using effective, yet gentle and powerful, proven methods. With 25+ years in practice working with people who have depression, anxiety, OCD, childhood/teen behavioral concerns, ADHD, trauma, autism spectrum disorders, and adjustments to significant life changes, I have the experience to meet your needs . Not sure if counseling or coaching is right for you? Please call me for a free consultation. Warmest regards, Erin

I'm so glad you're considering counseling. It means that, at a deep level, you know you deserve better and are capable of more. You may be troubled by persistent negative thoughts and feelings, dissatisfied with certain important relationships, or frustrated that the choices you've made are no longer working for you. Either way, I applaud you for taking this step. Through psychotherapy, we will explore one of the most important subjects in your life - yourself. And we will journey together towards a future that reflects your deepest values and goals.

The relationship between client and therapist is like no other. A client should be able to freely express themselves with no concerns about how it might effect the therapist, unlike with family or friends. I work with adults to overcome depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, shame and trauma. A special interest is working with people who have experienced trauma, whether from long ago childhood abuse and neglect or from other life events, encouraging them to recognize and release long standing painful emotions and ineffective patterns of behavior.

As a licensed psychologist for over three decades, I draw from a wealth of experience and understanding to help you improve your life. I emphasize the connection between a healthy mind, a healthy body, and a healthy life. I work with you to utilize strengths while improving weaknesses. My goal is to help you achieve personal growth that can improve all aspects of your life.

I have a lifelong love of learning, a passion for helping people identify and overcome obstacles, and an ability to find calm even in the midst of chaos. I enjoy meeting people where they are, helping them identify their goals, and empowering them to understand and work through any challenges they may be facing in getting to where they would like to be.

Now accepting new clients! My primary therapeutic goal is to approach each individual in a unique way. While helping clients develop healthy coping strategies and achieve personal growth and positive change, I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment. As a therapist, I am passionate about helping clients in coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, stress, relationship difficulties, divorce, parenting, grief and loss, abuse and neglect, domestic violence, addictions, bipolar disorders, and more. I see pre-teens, adolescents, families, and adults struggling with behavioral, emotional, or relational issues.

I am here to help you embrace the best version of yourself. The world is full of stressors that ultimately can leave you feeling anxious, not good enough, or as if there’s not enough space for you. I build deep connections with my clients to feel safe enough to explore these difficult experiences. I help introspective people learn even more about themselves, resulting in greater self-acceptance and more overall life satisfaction.

I have over 15 years of experience working with teens and adults. My passions include providing affirming care to the transgender and nonbinary community (ages 14+) and treating sexual and other trauma, including complex PTSD. I do this with an eclectic approach, borrowing techniques and theory from several different areas (DBT, IFS, EMDR, Humanism and psychoeducation). I collaborate with each of my clients to provide care tailored to their needs. I am dually licensed in Texas and Oregon.

Having the freedom to pursue your life’s goals, be present at work, and have meaningful relationships without problematic substance use requires a transition. No matter what pathway forward you choose, having support from mental health professionals and peers who are managing similar difficulties in life is preparation for a smoother way forward. Menninger offers the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults and their family members as a guide for recovery.

I believe that a supportive and caring therapeutic relationship can offer great benefits toward living a more fulfilling and abundant life. The world seems to be moving at an ever-rapid pace, often leaving us little time to step into the slower rhythms which promote reflection. Therapy supports the slowing process, allowing for the thoughtful and intuitive contemplation of ourselves and our personal life challenges while offering creative and generative avenues for navigating them. Together we will explore such areas with openness and compassion and through the lens of wholeness and healing.

You're an adult who's doing it all while feeling disconnected and unsure of what you really want. You feel confused by your dissatisfaction with your primary relationships or your career - because you have a great family, good job, good supports, etc. And, no one really wants to hear about it, often calling you ridiculous instead. You probably find yourself wondering, "What's wrong with me?" or "Why can't I get this right?" If you're looking for unbiased support from someone outside your family and community, I'm here to tell you you're not ridiculous AND I want to hear all about it!

Unexpected changes or maybe at a critical turning point in your life? Are you feeling overwhelmed? Facing challenges you never expected? I'm a Nationally Board Certified (2) and an LPC-Supervisor with over 20 years of experience. I help people struggling with Depression, Anxiety/Panic Disorders, Work/Life Balance, Grief, Addiction Recovery, Cancer Resilience, Cardiac and, Pre and Post Organ Transplant, Medical Professionals, Cross-Cultural conflict, Clergy (multi), Traumatic Events/Exposure (CISM) and an ESI Consultant for Business/Legal. I know it can feel intimidating - just breathe. You CAN do this.

It is easy to feel lost or overwhelmed in today's world. If you are facing difficult issues at home, work or in your personal life I can provide you with the support you need to effectively evaluate these challenges. Therapy can help you address many types of issues including depression, anxiety, conflict, grief, stress management, body-image issues, and general life transitions, such as marriage, divorce or parenting teenagers. Although you cannot change painful situations from the past, we can work together to resolve difficulties in your life today.

I offer individual, couples, and family therapy formats for adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, or attachment trauma. **I am also trained in DBT and Self Compassion and offer 1:1 work.** Struggles we face in life can negatively influence our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us in ways that keep us stuck, afraid, and unhealthy. Processing these difficult experiences can allow us to break free from this influence and show up in the world in ways that align with our inherent goodness, enabling feelings of success and happiness. You deserve to feel these things and more!
