As a Clinical Social Worker since 2000, my objective is to assist individuals in navigating life while providing support in developing healthy coping skills along the way. We will work together to identify new and existing personal strengths, exploring your goals in order to create a viable plan to aid in measurable growth through health and wellness challenges

Over the past 15 years, I have had the unique opportunity to counsel people in Europe, Asia and North America. In my work, I have had the privilege of counseling people of various ages, nationalities, races and cultures. I have found that although human suffering has many faces, all people have common needs and desires. We all want health and wellness. We all want to prosper and be successful in what we do. We all strive for perfection. I strongly believe that everyone has the power and potential to overcome interpersonal struggles, relational difficulties, and life crises.

Life is a journey. Our paths are all different. You are the expert on your path. I am here to help you navigate your way to where you want to be. Sometimes in life we all need to discuss the struggles and difficulties we face. Having a counselor is having a facilitator in that process. My role is to be a guide through our conversations. You get to write the next chapter in the book of your life. I work your agenda. We only work on the topics you bring into the counseling room. Remember, you are not the problem. The problem is the problem. We are here to conquer those problems.

Personally, I am a mom of 3 small children who is married to a firefighter and trying to balance work, family, and personal life. I understand that life can feel like a lot at times and relate to other people who are doing the best they can! Professionally, I have always worked in education and mental health. I have taught kindergarten, junior high, intermediate grades, and focused on special education. I have also worked as a school counselor, and maintain my school counselor license. In my time as a mental health therapist, I have really enjoyed working with a diverse population.

Family Therapy is successful with a wide variety of symptoms and problems. Often people seek out services that can isolate them and their problems from the context that it is existing in. I specialize in working with troubled youth and their families, I also see couples and parents with youth challenges. My focus is on modifying family and outside interactions, in order to create a context that produces well being for all. My professional training and education has been in psychology and marriage and family therapy. I have worked systemically with individuals, couples, families, and groups in agencies, schools, and private practice.

“Everyone is going through something and that shapes who they are.” I take the time to understand my clients through compassion. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors.

Are you seeking a culturally sensitive therapist who will not make stereotypical assumptions, but will honor your story and journey? Have you been told that therapy is for the weak or for those whose faith is not strong enough? Are you looking for a place where you can feel safe enough to say everything you need to without feeling shame?Having strong emotions is not what hurts us, its not having a place to express them.

Do you have difficulty with motivation to complete tasks? Do you often feel overwhelmed and don't know where to begin? Do you notice yourself being caught up in overthinking and/or irrational thought? Do you find yourself being self-critical and feeling like you are not enough? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are in the right place and you no longer need to deal with these things alone.

I started Family Matters Counseling Center after I realized that a family system is one that the client creates and is not born into. From here I developed a passion to learn each unique families story to help them overcome their obstacle in maintaining balance within their family system. I help clients re-ignite their passion and hope in reaching their career and personal goals. I do this in a collaborative and gentle approach as I assist you in your journey with every step.

Knowing from an early age that I wanted to connect with people on a deeper level, a career in counseling became a must. I was born and grew up in Belgium and moved to the states as a pre-teen, which was a tough transition at times. I quickly discovered my love for connecting with others was no different on the other side of the world. This strengthened my belief that cultural background, race, sex, age, etc does not make a difference in our suffering but that there is hope for each one of us.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers individuals, adults, geriatric populations in a general private practice setting in Texas. My practice offers a place where you can feel heard in a supportive, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment. I focus on adult care including women’s issues, career/educational issues, interpersonal communication, self-esteem, anger management, stress management, relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I like to do therapy in an “eclectic” manner, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, narrative, spirituality, solution-focused, and others.

Everyone has some sort of baggage, pain, or issues that can make them feel stuck in life. I get it and have been there myself. So instead of coming at you with every therapy or skill in the book, I promise to first be with you, and present in where you’re at. I won’t rush you but instead will help you within your own timeframe. The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of therapy and we want to make sure it's the right fit. This is why I offer a free 20 min phone consultation because you matter. Partnering together means having a healthy respect for you and the process.

Things seem dark; you may be overwhelmed, but you are not alone. I believe that our relationships shape and define us, as we come to know ourselves by being known. We can feel broken by relationships, but relationships also have the power to heal as we begin to experience ourselves in a new and powerful way. This is a tremendously vulnerable, scary, and exciting place to be. Sometimes it takes reaching the point of desperation to take this leap into new and unknown territory. Change is always possible, and there is no such thing as "too late", but it takes courage to begin.

Sometimes it seems that nothing works. You may feel angry, sad, or out of control and need help to navigate through rough times. I have been there! I was inspired to be a counselor by my own struggles with family codependency. There is hope! Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, cognitive behavioral, solution focused, reality, family systems, feminist, and humanistic therapies, I will help you identify what is holding you back. The goal is to provide you with the insights and tools you need to move past old, limiting beliefs and behaviors. I will provide dedicated, confidential listening to create a bright future.

My name is Conor Hawley I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I enjoy working with both adults and children. I believe in utilizing an ecelitic blend of techniques to fit the person. As one thinks of change an individual might not want the same perspective used, I believe that something different can be used. A different approach can help to instill change. I would like to enjoy having a conversation with you and you being apart of a process.

Excelsior Therapy works with individuals, couples, families, and groups, even offering adult and teen anger management classes. We believe that using cognitive testing and evidenced-based interventions with the collaboration of clients creates the most positive impact on helping clients meet their goals. In addition, to these therapeutic specialties, Excelsior Therapy is connected with a medical team that can assist with medication management that many clients have come to appreciate.

I believe a strong relationship between the counselor and the client fosters an environment for positive change. A person’s faith is a foundational piece that aides in the healing of physical, mental and emotional issues or trauma. As we begin to delicately restructure each piece of your life, clients can begin their journey of self-exploration and work toward their desired change. Let me help you learn and develop meaningful ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals.
