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

Therapy sessions with me are centered on creating a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space. Each session typically begins with a discussion of the client’s current concerns and goals. We work together to explore emotions, challenges, and progress, using a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to the individual's needs. I emphasize cultural sensitivity and empowerment, ensuring that the client feels heard and respected. Sessions may include goal-setting, skill-building, and discussing strategies for managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.

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.

The first session will be mostly getting to know one another and allowing for you to become more comfortable in the space. There are no expectations of how it will go and the focus will be purely on you feeling comfortable and safe. We will come up with goals together and talk about what counseling could look like moving forward. If it turns out you do not feel like it is not a good fit for us to work together at any point, that is totally okay! The most important thing that you have a space where you feel comfortable to heal.

Now accepting NEW clients with daytime and limited evening availability! Every person has a story to tell, a life that matters. I have always been a listener and value the importance of someone's story. I work with teenagers and women who have been through traumatic experiences, who have a story to tell. My desire is that my clients have a safe, warm place where they feel comfortable opening up. I aim to make sure that every client feels seen, heard, and valued as they navigate through their trauma, anxiety, depression, and daily life struggles.

Full Psychiatric Assessment The initial meeting will be a focus session of 60 - 120 minutes in person or online. The most important thing for us as practitioners is to create a sense of trust between the patient and the practitioner. This trust will enable us to begin a mitigation process by talking with you to identify your pain points, but more importantly, to learn about you first as a human being, not just your “symptoms.” A thorough psychiatric evaluation aims to assess what you are experiencing and develop a treatment plan. We focus on complete psychiatric assessment of children, adolescents, and adults with the following: Anxiety Depression Insomnia Attention/Focus Concerns/Impulsivity Mood Swings Somatic Response to Trauma Obsessed And Compulsive Actions Follow Up Appointments Once you’ve been to our office for the initial visit, we will meet for a follow-up to discuss how you’ve been since your last appointment. When this is done, we will review the good recommendations and those that are not. This might include discussions about medication, lab work, or holistic interventions. Our visits are time-based, and you can choose between 45-minute and 60-minute sessions for your management or more focused 30-minute meetings. This effort is also focused on medication and holistic interventions, and often, those who are using these shorter sessions already have a therapist with whom they are working. Each treatment plan is customized to the individual, but you can expect to visit anywhere from weekly to every 2-3 months. Of course, we will discuss this and agree on what suits you best.

I want to know about who you want to be, how you want to move through your world. We will talk about the things keeping you from already doing that and figure out a way to make those things smaller. I highly value humor and radical honesty. I won't shy away from calling bullshit, but it will always come from a place of deep respect for your process.

UPDATE: not currently accepting insurance, out of network only, but lets check your out-0f-network benefits and see whats up So, you're considering therapy? I get it, things are crazy and it feels like we are living in a really bad late-night movie, complete with sad and pathetic villains. I don't have any magic over here, but I do have a place where we can hopefully get you to a place that looks more like where you want to be. I have an eclectic approach, which is a fancy way of saying that I don't rely on any one way of getting to where you want to be. But my starting point is always from a place of your strengths, the things you are already doing well; you are not your symptoms. I trend toward elements from Acceptance and Commitment, Narrative, Positive Psychology, Existentialism, Brief Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Behavioral Activation, and Mindfulness. I am progressive in my politics, a non-believer, and I welcome cursing as a means of expression. I believe that humor can get us through a lot of things. I mention this only because I have often had difficulty finding my own therapists that didn't wince when I said fuck or want to steer me in a spiritual direction. I am LGBTQ+ and BIPOC affirming and welcome folks from all backgrounds and ethnicities.

Therapy sessions with me are compassionate and collaborative. We’ll explore your challenges, set goals, and work through them using evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. Each session is tailored to your needs in a supportive, judgment-free space.

My professional career has always centered around mental and behavioral health. I have seen and been a part of amazing community efforts to empower the lives of individuals living with a severe and persistent mental illness. Working as part of the assertive community treatment (ACT) team allowed me to step into the homes of adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar I, schizoaffective disorder, substance use disorders, and major depressive disorder. I understand how challenging it is in multiple aspects of life, including maintaining relationships and jobs that are vital. I have also worked in inpatient facilities as a psychiatric registered nurse and have a lot of clinical experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner assisting children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, conduct disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I know the process is challenging for both the parents and children trying to navigate their diagnosis. But we are not our diagnoses. And, it is okay to reach out for help when needed. I feel confident in assisting those across the lifespan in managing medication that can change this narrative. I will conduct a personalized initial intake, take my time to ask your goals, and begin medication that is right for you.
