How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

Stephanie is passionate about journeying alongside adults and adolescents as they experience the difficulties of life transitions and discover who they truly are. People often find themselves in painful relational patterns and spaces of internal suffering that hinder them from living the fulfilled life they desire. Stephanie believes that deeply exploring oneself from a holistic and creative posture is what allows people to authentically live in the freedom of who God called each of them to be. She believes that while many of us experience pain as a result of relational wounds, it is only within the context of relationship that true healing can be felt. Stephanie utilizes a Psychodynamic, Attachment and Relational approach, but incorporates other treatment modalities to cater to the uniqueness of each client. She enjoys working with people who suffer with the following issues: depression, anxiety, stage of life concerns, attachment issues, early childhood/developmental trauma, sexuality, spirituality, and relationship distress. Stephanie received her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Biola University. She went on to obtain her Master's Degree from Azusa Pacific University.

Sometimes life's struggles and transitions have led to pain and feelings of being paralyzed and lost. You are not alone even though day after day it might feel like a daily battle. Counseling can be the answer to finding hope and a new beginning to finding answers, self-awareness, and self-compassion for making new choices and having a new outlook. Sarah helps you find connections between your thoughts, feelings and actions to be emotionally healthy and face past hurts that are holding you back. Thoughts aren't facts and you can learn to change that inner voice that criticizes you and shed faulty beliefs that lead you down the wrong path time and again. Sarah is certified in EMDR, a highly researched and supported therapy for trauma and PTSD. EMDR enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional pain and is also used to address multiple mental health issues. Using techniques that align with neuroscience, this therapy uses the body’s ability to heal, often producing relief from many symptoms quickly. For children, Sarah integrates play techniques with EMDR because children heal through play and imagination. The effectiveness of EMDR results in clients who feel empowered rather than paralyzed by life experiences that in the past caused them great pain. EMDR does not require extensive homework or hours of talking about the pain to find relief. Simply said, talk therapy helps clients handle emotional pain, but EMDR removes the emotional pain! This is why EMDR is almost always Sarah's go to choice for most of her clients regardless of therapy issue.

While I am recently licensed in Texas, I have extensive experience working as a counselor in both England and Scotland, where I did my counseling training. I received my Doctorate in Psychotherapy and Counseling from the University of Edinburgh. My doctoral thesis was on my work counseling clients who experienced grief after a pregnancy loss. Therapy is a truly personal experience. Therapy is not something done to a person, but rather it is created by the persons involved. In my work, I listen to how life's struggles are real for you. That is, what makes them personal. By staying with you and holding all that you bring, I hope to support the growth of this personal process. Facing distressing feelings requires trust and commitment from both client and counselor. Whatever your struggle, I offer you a safe, confidential space where I come alongside you, without judgement, in your attempts to better hear from and understand yourself. My passion is helping others to feel more aware of and compassionate within themselves, their lives, and their relationships. My approach to therapy is based in person centered and psychodynamic psychotherapy. What this means is that I work with clients in an interpersonal way, helping them to explore themselves, their current and past relationships, and unconscious blocks that prevent them from having the life and the relationships they desire. My practice is informed by neurobiology, and I strongly believe that therapy helps you to regulate your nervous system. A regulated/adaptive nervous system improves your mental and your physical health and is protective against chronic illness and mental health disorders. I don’t simply provide advice or quick fixes, instead I offer a space to talk about pain and where it may have originated, granting us insight into patterns of behavior which may have been useful in the past that now may be actually getting in the way of your health. I welcome all to my practice and believe that anyone - regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual belief, or economic standing – is valuable and I seek to provide the best care to all I see.  

As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, calm and steady presence for you as you navigate the challenges you are facing. My approach draws upon cognitive behavioral, dialectic behavioral, EMDR, and psychodynamic perspectives to match the needs of each individual person, family, and couple.  My style has been described as collaborative, warm, interactive, direct, and non-judgmental. I use a variety of techniques to bridge the gap between the conscious and unconscious. In doing so, balance is achieved between the self and the world allowing for healing and growth.

Dr. Barrett Cowan is a Reproductive Urologist and has specialized in treating male patients with infertility for more than 20 years. He started using telehealth technology when the pandemic began and was pleasantly surprised to see patients were more relaxed and candid about their questions when speaking from the comfort and privacy of their own home, and with their partners by their side. The technology also made it easier for patients to schedule appointments from anywhere in the country.

Hi I'm Delondria but you can call me Catrice (my middle name). It is my intent to raise awareness about mental health issues. Why is it important (glad you asked)? Because it affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Let’s reduce the stigma related to mental illness. The more we talk about mental health conditions, the more normalized it becomes. Starting the conversation is the first step. Let’s talk!
