Self Esteem Therapists in 76110

No matter the severity of an issue, I think we can all agree that life is hard. As a Solution-Focused practitioner, my goal is to collaboratively work with you while keeping your best hopes from counseling in mind. My belief is that you are the expert of your life; and my job is not to judge, label, or give unwanted advice. I am here to listen, empower, and pull out inner strengths that optimize your best possible self. Together, we can process the unwanted "junk" and create a plan that nourishes a satisfied life.

We make therapy for our clients easy, because it is. Each therapist at Vervewell is light-hearted by nature, and street smart by design. Beth Clardy Lewis, the founder of Vervewell, hires her staff to meet such standards. Beth's creative, right-brained lens offers supportive and expansive thought to each of her clients, while her education and licensure offers a skilled base from which she pulls, both in her therapy chair, as well as in leadership to the Vervewell staff. Vervewell therapists are honored to meet and work with all types of spiritual and religious, artistic and logical, bullied and bullies. Therapy for everyone.

If you or your loved one are struggling with anxiety, depression, communication, self-esteem and or relationship problems. I would love to be a supporter and help you navigate through these challenging issues. My goal is to assist you in utilizing tools and resources that will empower you to navigate successfully through your journey called “life”. For the past 12 years I have specialized in working with teens, adults and families who have experienced trauma, life changing events and/or mental health issues that have impacted their lives. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Whatever reason brought you here, I hope you stay. I started One Eighty Counseling because I yearned to create a counseling practice that focused on open, kind communication and acceptance. I wanted my own corner of the world where people could truly come as they are. This means that my clients, their families, and their stories could be acknowledged without judgement or fear, and most importantly without rejection. In my practice, I work best with individuals who are looking for a long-term therapeutic relationship to work on struggles over time. I work through a person-centered lens where I believe you are the expert on you.

Are you ready to begin the journey of a new you? I have over 10 years of experience working with clients to help them cope with their health issues, grief, and discovery of a new sense of purpose. I seek to help you discover a new you while providing you with the tools you need to overcome the challenges that arise along the way. Allow me to assist you in reducing your anxieties and fears that serve as a hindrance in your daily life functioning. As you discover a new you, my mission is to support you in your journey of awareness and change the distorted thought processes that stunt your ability to grow into the new version of you.

My ideal client is one who is contemplating change. Have you tried to change on your own with limited success, and are ready to share some of the responsibility for personal change? I can help. Do you feel "stuck" and want to experience the feeling of moving forward in your life? I can help. You CAN experience freedom from emotions and behaviors that have been holding you back. I work extensively with adults who struggle with ADHD, disordered eating and body image issues, anger, depression, anxiety, and stress management. What are your core issues?

As individuals, we experience influences, temptations, trials and tribulations in different times in our lives, which can leave you feeling hopeless, helpless, out of control or like you have failed. I understand how life and environments can become a routine, a pattern, and sometimes an unhealthy cycle. I am here to help you identify and make steps toward being the kind of person or family you want to be.

You can make an appointment via my website at http://lanternlightcounseling.com. There are times in our lives when everything changes, and we feel out of control. Maybe your emotions are raging. Or perhaps you feel numb to the world. I work patiently with my clients in a supportive, non-judgmental, and kind way to bring peace back to their lives. At the same time, I ask tough questions and offer a different perspective. You do not have to face the change in your life alone. This is your opportunity to grow.

No matter the reason, life can be pretty difficult at times. You may feel down, unmotivated, anxious, or depressed. You may just feel like you want someone to talk to. As your therapist, my goal is to talk with you, listen to you, and collaborate with you to come up with ways that you can meet your goals. I aim to build a judgment-free and positive relationship, in which we can work towards your goals directly.

Welcome to my “Why you should pick me to be your counselor,” bio! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas working primarily with the LGBTQIA+ community. Together we can tackle issues related to depression, anxiety, gender and sexual discovery/acceptance, dismantling internalized queer-phobia, strategies to come out, family dynamics, etc. Additionally, I am Gottman Method Level 1 trained in Relationship Counseling. I work with my couples on strengthening communication, enhancing sexual/romantic intimacy, manage conflict as well as assist couples who are exploring ethical non-monogamy and polyamory.

As depression, anxiety, grief, and other mental health issues get bigger, our lives get smaller. They weigh us down, isolate us, and make even simple things seem difficult. Frustration, shame, and confusion from the constant struggle can add to the weight we are already carrying. Friends and loved ones may inadvertently make things worse by offering advice or trying to make us feel better. We put off seeking help because we feel guilty, embarrassed, or don’t want to burden people (especially when we are the "Strong" one who usually helps others). It can happen to anyone. The good news is that treatment works and therapy helps!

I have more than two decades of experience in working with a wide range of client ages, but my practice focuses on individual adults only. I utilize a combination of both cognitive behavioral, somatic and sand tray interventions in order to create opportunities to express emotions, find meaning and instill hope for positive change. I enjoy working with adults on the Autism Spectrum, ADHD and other neurodiverse people and have received additional training in these areas.

My name is Mark Chaney. I provide counseling and counseling-related services for children, adolescents, adults, and families together. I have 15 + years of accumulative training and experience in the fields of mental health, trauma, domestic violence, foster care and adoption. Some clients I see are experiencing short-term stressors while others are experiencing longer-term mental health disturbances. For individual therapy, I generally treat adults and adolescents ages 12 and older.

As a therapist, my passion is helping others meet their goals. If you’re feeling depressed, anxious or isolated, or you’re overwhelmed by traumatic events or broken relationships, I’d be honored to journey with you toward a new life filled with hope, purpose and freedom. My primary emphasis is helping men, young adults and teens/older children with the issues they face. Besides counseling, I also have experience leading men in my local church and university. My work with teens in public school, drug rehabilitation and church settings enables me to help parents and their children as they navigate the challenges of adolescence.

If there is one thing that I’ve learned in my more than ten years working as a therapist, it would be that life can be rough no matter who you are. And sometimes rough in ways you never thought it could be. What do YOU do when those rough times come? Not sure? Or have the ways you thought would fix things not worked? I work with individuals and couples feeling lost or unsure of what to do or where to turn when they have these rough times. I have been through times in life when I feel this way and love working with people to help find the best ways for them to deal with whatever rough patch, big or small, they may find themselves in.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Stuck? Do you want more for yourself but are unsure how? Life is full of challenges. Fortunately, you do not have to face these challenges alone. I work with adults, adolescents, and children who are challenged by depressive symptoms, anxiousness symptoms, and relationship challenges. My goals are for you to feel seen, heard, challenged, and accompanied throughout the healing journey. As a counselor, I believe that each individual is a whole person worthy of healing, growth, and flourishing.

Howdy! The techniques I utilize are from the foundations of Person Centered and Solution Focused Theory with some art therapy mixed in (if you are comfortable with experimenting with creative therapy). To begin, we will discuss what goals you would like to accomplish during our time together. My philosophy of therapy is, I feel you are the authority in your life and therapy can be a catalyst to identify barriers keeping you from achieving goals. We join together as a team to process, help identify goals, and strategize in making the positive change you would like to see in your life.

“The rough must always accompany the smooth. Without one or the other one learns nothing about oneself.” It can be difficult to navigate out of rough times. Relationship problems, depression, anxiety, work stress, or family issues can impact our lives in ways we could not imagine. It can feel overwhelming and as if there is not a way out. My hope is that we can work together through the healing process and start the voyage toward a better you.
