How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

Hello!  I am a recent (May 2019) graduate of the Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University-Central Texas. I graduated from the same school in 2016 with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology.  I specialized in child and adolescents throughout my school career.  For my internship, I completed hours at Cedar Crest Hospital and RTC, working with children, adolescents, and adults.  Upon graduation I got a full time job at the same hospital on the adult unit.  I became adept at working with those with schizophrenia, Bipolar, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and Borderline Personality Disorder.  I also am very experienced and knowledgeable at working with those with ADHD, autism, and various learning and developmental delays. I enjoy using a person centered approach that focuses on the person’s strength and ability to manage their daily living through skills taught in therapy.  However, I enjoy research and drawing on many other modalities to provide the treatment that would best benefit the client. I am currently an LPC-Associate/NCC, but I am less than 300 hours away from full licensure. I have experience both with the short term hospital therapy and the more chronic long term therapy aspects, having seen several clients.  I have transitioned to private practice, where I see patients both in person and via telehealth. I currently cannot accept insurance because I do not have my full license yet, but I do accept cash payment. 

When overwhelmed by the world and those around you, you may experience feeling dissatisfied or drained with your relationships, occupation, and other aspects of your life. Or you may be curious about your inner experiences and want to learn more about yourself to become more self-aware, present, and adept at handling life’s troubles. You deserve a therapist who will work with you to improve the quality of your life. I’m a licensed clinical Psychologist and I’d love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My clinical psychology doctoral training and numerous years of delivering psychotherapy have provided me with extensive experience helping adults with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance abuse, trauma, identity exploration, adjustment and life transition issues, and other life situations

Hi i'm Sam (she/her), so great you are considering if I would be a good fit. I like to describe my approach as a counselor as a humanistic approach. I understand you'll bring who you are into the therapy space, as will I. This honors your unique story and allows for more authentic alignment towards goals that are most important to you. I primarily practice through the lense of mindfulness and self compassion, although I have specialized training in several areas associated with treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Trauma, and Eating Disorders. I hope you'll reach out to consider scheduling a consultation to see if i'd be a good fit for your needs.

Have you been worried, sad, stressed, or even facing daily challenges that seem unbearable to manage? Trying to manage our emotions can be difficult, and at times our mind and body are trying to warn us to stop and take some time to focus on ourselves, but we ignore it. I’ve experienced this myself, and still learning new ways to cope. These are common feelings that most of us experience when we are struggling to cope and regulate our thoughts and emotions due to life stressors. I understand it can be scary to take that leap in seeking help, but you’ve already accomplished the first step of browsing for resources, which is great!  Now it’s your time to shine and reclaim your power. As a therapist, I mainly utilize person-centered interventions, a collaborative approach that means you’re the expert regarding your life experiences. I will take your lead to help you realize your fullest potential by providing tools, activities, and exercises so that you can learn the triggers that may impact you, new ways to cope, and improve your overall skills. My job is to help you feel comfortable expressing yourself and provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be yourself and feel whole again. I’m an LLMSW who has experience working with teens, young adults, and seniors who struggled with negative thoughts, high anxiety, depression, grief, and more. But my passion is to help anyone, no matter their race, gender, religion, or sexuality, who needs someone to talk to and to listen to them. I am committed to working with you. You will not be alone in this journey because we are in this together. So if you’re ready to take that next step, contact me today, and we’ll start your healing journey!
