Frank Coulson
Hello! I hope this message finds you doing well, if not, you are in the right place. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Masters in Social Work graduate of Simmons University in Boston, MA. (The oldest university of social work in the US.) I immigrated to the US at age 7 from Angola, Africa and grew up in Boston, MA. I speak Portuguese and English fluently. I have traveled the United States as a military wife and mother of 4 and now call Texas my home. The military community I have lived in has given me a special view of the trauma that so many live with and effectively hide beneath their mask of normalcy in this abnormal world. I specialize in trauma therapy for children ages 5 - 17 and dominantly work with this population and their families; however, as many of our maladaptive adult coping skills stem from undisclosed childhood trauma, I also treat adult survivors of childhood trauma.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session together, we will identify you or your child's challenges and goals - where you want your life/lives to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we'll identify therapeutic options and strategies you can use to get there. Both you and your needs are unique and together we will determine the best path forward for your/your child's needs. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My experience with trauma focused therapy and my creativity in their use are my greatest strength as a provider. Each person and their individual needs are unique; therefore, my attention to the innate needs of each individual seeking my assistance in their path towards healing is ever present from the first to the last session.

In PersonMy treatment methods
EMDR
Bilateral Stimulation will be available for use in all in person sessions as I have found this to be one of the most effective means of allowing one's nervous system and subconscious to process stress and trauma in a manner in which talk therapy alone cannot accomplish. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensatation Reprocessing) is the 2nd most researched treatment modality for PTSD and all Trauma related symptoms, 2nd only to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have found it to be most successful in reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms in children who have experienced trauma.
Sandplay
I am trained in Sand-Tray therapy and use it successfully with both adults and children in conjunction with EMDR bilateral stimulation. You may not have the words nor the entire memory at times, but your subconsciousness and nervous system remember and will speak clearly within the worlds you build in sand-tray.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I have used Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy successfully since 2020 with children and their families who have experienced severe trauma in their lives. Reduced PTSD symptoms are noted in under a year of treatment so balance and can return to home and school life.
Trauma Informed Care
From minor stress to severe trauma, trauma informed care can help you navigate through the past so you can be at peace in your present.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Trained and certified as of 6/15/2024 DBT is giving me an additional tool to best assist my clients who experience constant SI and urges to self-harm. You are doing the best you can, and you can do better. With use of Diary Trackers to daily assess your urges, moods, and behaviors and specific skills and coping tools to best manage your suicidal and self-harm thoughts and urges as an eclectic therapist I believe in not the using the same cookie cutter treatment modalities for everyone. You are unique and your treatment plan should be tailored to your specific needs.
