Hello and Welcome to Finding Your Peace Healing Springs! My name is Edith Funtong and I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with extensive experience in delivering compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. Over the past 7 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving patients across Texas, working in a variety of clinical settings, including Texas Health Dallas Hospital, Northwest Texas Behavioral Health Hospital in Amarillo, and John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, where I specialized in Mental health disorders. My mission is to help individuals like you regain control of their mental well-being by offering personalized telehealth services tailored to your unique needs. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health challenges, using a holistic approach that prioritizes your comfort and pace. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just need support along your mental health journey, I’m here to provide nonjudgmental care and collaborative treatment strategies. Together, we’ll work on creating a customized plan that fosters healing, empowerment, and long-term recovery.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
welcoming and compassionate environment where the focus is entirely on you and your well-being. Here's what will typically happen: Introduction and Rapport Building: We'll start by getting to know each other. This includes a brief overview of the practice, how we can support you, and a chance for you to ask any questions. Building trust and making you feel comfortable is our priority. Comprehensive Assessment: We will discuss your mental health history, current symptoms, and any concerns you're facing. This may include questions about mood, anxiety, sleep, relationships, or substance use. You'll also be asked about any medical history and medications to create a holistic view of your health. Collaborative Treatment Plan: Based on your needs, we'll work together to outline a treatment plan that may include therapy, medication management, or lifestyle changes. We'll also discuss the goals you want to achieve in your mental health journey. Our approach is non-judgmental, patient-centered, and designed to empower you. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear understanding of the next steps and feel supported on your path to healing.

Psychoeducation
specialize in integrating Psychoeducation and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into our approach to help you achieve lasting mental wellness. Psychoeducation is all about giving you the tools and knowledge to understand your mental health. We empower you with insights into how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, helping you identify the root causes of your struggles. You’ll gain a deeper awareness of your condition, equipping you to make informed decisions and implement strategies that can improve your daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With CBT, we take things further by teaching you how to reshape negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to your stress, anxiety, or depression. Through personalized sessions, you’ll learn to replace unhelpful thoughts with positive, action-oriented thinking. We guide you through practical exercises to enhance your coping skills, enabling you to tackle life’s challenges with confidence. Our goal is to meet you where you are—without judgment—and walk with you toward recovery. We focus on making therapy accessible, compassionate, and tailored to your needs, helping you regain control of your mental and emotional well-being. With the right support, every individual has the opportunity to thrive, and we’re here to make that journey easier. Identifying Cognitive Distortions: I work with patients to identify unhelpful thoughts (e.g., catastrophizing or black-and-white thinking). For example, in a patient with anxiety, we explore their tendency to anticipate the worst-case scenario in stressful situations. Reframing Thoughts: I help patients reframe these negative thoughts into more balanced and realistic views. This reduces their emotional distress and increases their ability to cope with life’s challenges. Behavioral Activation: For patients with depression, we focus on increasing engagement in meaningful activities that they have been avoiding, which gradually helps improve mood. Homework Assignments: I often assign homework, such as thought records or mindfulness exercises, to help patients practice these skills between sessions. This reinforces the progress made during therapy.
