Find a Therapist in West Columbia, Texas.

Psychotherapy? For some, a therapist office and talking about themselves is a very comfortable and “normal” setting. For many others, it’s a HUGE step out of their comfort zone, evoking fears and every movie cliché about laying on a couch. To help calm these fears, I tend to compare psychotherapy to athletic coaching. Top athletes – LeBron James, J.J. Watt, Serena Williams – all have a coach. These athletes excel at their individual sport, have been playing for most of their lives; and still benefit from coaching. In life, or sport, we sometimes lack insight to what blocks our progress to our full potential. In psychotherapy, like a coach, I offer that support, feedback, and clarity.

This private practice is focused on helping clients create a balanced and joyful life. Everyone can discover the way that works best for him or her. It appears that we tend to focus way too much time and energy on "right vs. wrong." This seems to only cause more confusion, indecisiveness, and other insecurities. Seeking outside guidance in times of struggle can be powerful and transformative. One of the goals of this practice is to help clients discover a deeper sense of self and acceptance. Another intention of this practice practice is to help clients build and maintain the necessary tools they already have existing within themselves, and lead clients to new discoveries of living life in a more balanced and enjoyable way.

If you are thinking of changing your life for the better, therapy can be an instrumental tool in the process. Most people experience stress at some point in their lives and psychotherapy can help you transition from stress to confidence. Working with one of our therapists gives you an outside perspective to help you understand and express your feelings in a compassionate setting, clarify and focus on what you value most in life, develop strategies to help you cope with difficult emotions, identify your unique strengths, and set and achieve goals for living the life you want to live. You are special. As therapists, we appreciate and honor your uniqueness and feel privileged to help.
