Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Texas

I am trained in CBT and have used this approach along with others for over 30 years especially with anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Do you constantly worry? Do you overthink plans and solutions to worst-case outcomes so that you feel prepared? Does everything have to be done perfectly? Do you have difficulty handling uncertainty? Do you fear making the wrong decision? Do you feel restless? Difficulty with sleep? Do you move from relationship to relationship? Viktor Frankl said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation -we are challenged to change ourselves." He really knew what he was talking about. Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, it's time to get some help. I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. You deserve to feel better. As a seasoned therapist, I can help you feel empowered to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, and reclaim your life. The good news is that we've all gone through seasons of our lives when we feel this way. The first step is to reach out to someone for help. My approach is straightforward: together we will identify your goals, establish a problem-solving treatment plan, and go from there. If something is telling you it's time to begin your journey; give me a call.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. By challenging unhelpful beliefs and developing healthier coping strategies, CBT can effectively reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. It is goal-oriented, practical, and focused on promoting positive thinking and behaviors.

I provide expert psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and psychosocial counseling for children, adults, and their families. I am deeply committed to helping individuals with mental illness and their families reach their full potential in the most peaceful, low-stress manner possible. As the mother of an adult who has struggled with mental illness since childhood, I understand firsthand the challenges that come with managing these conditions. My experience includes providing psychiatric care in Level 1 Trauma emergency settings, community mental health clinics, and private practice. This background allows me to deliver high-quality, compassionate, and affordable care. Most appointments can be scheduled within a week of reaching out, and, given current concerns related to COVID-19, I also offer telepsychiatry visits. I work with children and adolescents to address behavioral and emotional issues that impact family life and school performance. For adults, I assist with mood disorders, thought disorders, and cognitive impairments. Medication management is a key part of the treatment process, alongside effective therapy and reducing environmental stressors. I understand the stress and anxiety that come with finding and accessing high-quality psychiatric care. That’s why I prioritize timely appointments, usually within a week of contact, to ensure you or your loved ones receive the support you need as quickly as possible. *Specialties •Mental Health •Adult Psychiatry •Child Psychiatry *Conditions treated •Depression •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •PTSD •Mood disorders •Trauma •Panic attacks •Personality Disorders •Autism •Behavioral issues •Sleep problems •Anxiety disorders •Asperger's Syndrome •Bisexual •Emotional Disturbance •Family Conflict •Grief •Intellectual Disability •Lesbian •LGBTQ+ •Medication Management •Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) •Oppositional Defiance (ODD) •Parenting •Peer Relationships •Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum •School Issues •Insomnia •Stress •Suicidal Ideation •Thinking Disorders •Transgender •Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) *Practice description I am a doctorally prepared Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who provides telepsychiatric services for children and adults.

CBT is challenging the client by focusing on how their beliefs influence their emotions and actions. Help is providing the client with the education, tools and encouragement to practice the skills needed to reduce the symptoms they are experiencing. Clients should know it is my job to motivate, educate and assist with whatever issues they are dealing with. You will not be in counseling forever but for right now to reduce and/ or cease the symptoms you are experiencing and have the tools ready to use that are right for you when/ if the symptoms reoccur.

I like to understand an individual by looking at the impact that social connections have on their mental health. Why does one perceive dating in a negative way? Is it due to abandonment issues as a child? Why does one utilize alcohol to numb pain? Is it because they grew up watching a parent cope this way? With this knowledge, I will be able to identify patterns of thinking that derived from social interactions, to assist the client understand their true self outside of learned behavior. I will also gain insight on how those perceptions lead to thoughts and behaviors.
