What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

All are virtual so you will receive a link to join and upon joining, you will provide updates on your goals and anything that has happened since our last session. We will focus on the session goals after and I try to give homework to help with continued success outside of sessions. 

Welcome to my page, I'm grateful you are here to learn about how I can help you. I know firsthand how difficult it can be managing roles of wife, mother, and professional. Let me help you in your relationship! 

Sessions with me are authentic, conversational, active, and compassion focused- encouraging you to approach your healing and inner parts with warmth and acceptance.

Hi! My name is Arlee Pryor. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, supervised by Brittany Whallen LMFT-S, LPC-S, and the owner of Balanced Life Psychotherapy. Balanced Life Psychotherapy is an online private practice serving adults, couples, and teens residing in Texas. I specialize in comprehensive care for relational issues, family conflict, trauma, anxiety, LGBTQ+, grief, and life transitions.

A typical session with me begins with where the client is at. I want to know why you wanted to come to therapy and what your goals are. I try to meet each client where they are in their journey. I also want to make sure we are touch on something positive that has happened or that is coming up during each session as well.

I have been a social worker for over 10 years and my passion is helping people accomplish their goals. I believe that having a strong support system, no matter how big or small, is a key step in achieving our goals. I want to be part of your support system. My passion is watching people grow and become the best versions of themselves.

I believe in a client-centered approach to therapy. I believe you know what is the most pressing to start with and we go from there. I offer a safe space for clients to discuss any topic in sessions, including any homework we might be working on and progress that has been made. Each session I like to know how the past week has been and then we end with a plan to implement moving forward.

When working with me you will recognize that I am always encouraging you to learn how to trust your voice. I believe that we all have what we need inside of us to heal, however there are times when we just need assistance and support. During the intake process we will talk about your current stressors and the coping strategies you have employed thus far. The most important part of the process is building trust and creating a plan to help you on your journey to achieving your goals.

Hello, Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about my views and me. I am devoted husband and father of three. I currently resides in Houston, TX. Where I formerly served the community as a Juvenile Probation Officer / Substitute Teacher (HISD). While working as a Teacher/JPO, I develop the necessary skills and drive to push further and become a counselor to further help mold young minds. I now serve my community as a Therapist for at-risk juveniles and their families at Harris County Juvenile Probation Department.

Typically an intake session is rather formatted, as I have to make sure I get all the information I need to ensure I am the right fit for you. Once we determine you are comfortable moving forward with me as your counselor and I determine I am not practicing outside of my scope, we set up a time and date for reoccurring sessions. In a therapy session with me you can expect it to be driven by you. I start by asking about your week and if there is anything you want to make sure we discuss for the day. If there is anything I want to add to the agenda I will let you know. From there we start where you want to begin. I will facilitate discussion and provide a path for you, stopping when necessary, for further processing. I will let you know when we are getting close to the end of our time together and I will give you a challenge for the next week.

I am a provisionally licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have experience working with adults ages 18 and up with substance use and mental health concerns. I am rooted in emotions and values.

I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I have experience with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and stress-related concerns. I am here to be someone for you and to help you gain confidence with you are.

In a typical session, I like to first take time to check in around your overall well-being and help you gauge where you are at that day. I then collaboratively work on establishing the structure for the session by asking you where you'd like to focus that day. During our session, I will will ask questions, but also reflect what you say to make sure I am understanding you fully. I will help you to feel heard and validated in your experiences, while also helping you challenge places where you are stuck. 

Hi, my name is Amber! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pennsylvania. I've been a therapist for 5 years, with experience conducting outpatient and in-home therapy for individuals, families, couples, and children. I conduct therapy from a relational, trauma-focused, collaborative, and strength-based perspective. 

In your first few sessions, you can expect to start developing somatic skills which helps you get to know yourself better and realize core issue(s). We will slow down, notice your body, and learn what your body is saying so you can learn to respond accordingly. You can also expect to recognize and heal unresolved issues from childhood that linger and still impact you as an adult. I will help you notice body sensations, and discover subconscious thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that drive behavioral patterns. From there, you will gain tools to make the change you want for yourself.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Are you struggling with self-doubt? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Are you ready for change but don't know where to start? Therapy might be the solution for you. I help individuals like you navigate these challenges and find their way to more fulfilling lives. I offer a non-judgmental, trauma-informed environment where you can make the change you want for yourself. Upon your request, I can also help you address your concerns from a faith-based lens.
