Hollywood Park, TX - Accepting clients in TX
Do you fear your relationship with your partner is losing its spark? Maybe you fear you’re losing them or that you’re not loveable, or maybe that you’re not good enough. Getting to the root cause of this can be scary, yet extremely beneficial. Whether its trauma from childhood or an experience as an adult, or perhaps from something you may not remember, our life experiences influence our current wellness and how we interact with others. At times, it can seem as if we’re all alone and that no one understands us. But when you come to therapy, you’ll have a safe space to heal and grow. I look forward to hearing from you to see how I could help you as a person, or the both of you as a couple.

Do you constantly question yourself? Think nothing will ever work out? Are you always angry and lose your temper over little things? Never trust anyone? These can all symptoms of trauma, which influence so many areas of your life. Are you tired of running from difficult memories and pushing people away? If so, I am ready to hear your story and begin the healing process with you.
Have you struggled with talk therapy in the past? Have trouble putting thoughts and feelings into words? I use a combination of Expressive Arts Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy. You do not need to be an artist to participate. Expressive Arts are simply any form of artistic expression. Some examples are: painting, drawing, scribbling, poetry, journaling, collage, music.....so many different options.
You are not alone in your journey. There is hope. Cognitive Processing Therapy is an evidenced-based treatment. Including Expressive Arts Therapy gives a non-verbal platform for expressing difficult memories and emotions.

Lubbock, TX - Accepting clients in TX
I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas since 2018, providing mental health and behavioral counseling. I'm guided by the following core beliefs: We each have a unique life story, and how we see our present is impacted by past things that have happened to us. Lastly, our thoughts and behaviors shape how we manage relationships and see the world around us. As a standard practice, I approach the therapeutic relationship with acute sensitivity and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors and influence.
I approach therapy with the mindset that every person has internal skills that give him or her the ability to reach personal goals. With an integrative client-centered approach, you take the lead as the expert on your life, patterns of behaviors, and I help guide you to uncover causes of core belief systems that fuel areas of concern. My role in this process is to support you with encouragement while developing self-awareness and understanding your past experiences.
Mental health is a journey, and while you may feel lost now, that is not an indication of how your life will continue. It takes a lot of strength and willpower to work towards a more fulfilling and happier life, if you are ready to take that step, I am here to walk alongside to encourage and empower you.

While in therapy I will help you identify your inner strengths and regain control over your life. I will remind you to “not give up on yourself” and the goals you have for your life. I focus on you learning to truly love who you are, including your childhood, past, trauma, and hurt, as all of these experiences have impacted who you are, but they do not have to define you. I will place a high emphasis on building a strong rapport with you and making therapy more like a relaxed conversation. There is no need to feel ashamed or timid about sharing your experiences, as you did not come to me to be judged, you came to me for help, and that is what I am here to offer. I know therapy can be challenging to start and commit to, especially when it comes to making positive changes, so know that I will challenge you and ask you some hard questions, not to intimidate you, but to help you grow.

I have been working in the counseling field since 2012, and have experience working with adolescents and adults who have been dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and substance use problems. I am currently trained in EMD, CBT, CPT, and other therapy modalities. I work to help individuals achieve their counseling goals in order for them to better manage their emotions, feelings, and behaviors in order for them to become the person they aim to be.

I have served military families for 12 years. Military and civilian families share many of the same issues. Military families tend to deal with and experience multiple relocations. This means moving children to new schools, dealing with household packing and unpacking and stress in general. Civilian and military couples sometimes experience communication issues, disloyalty in the relationship or other stressful issues which cause conflict to arise. Some or all of these issues can be addressed and clients can find solutions agreeable to the parties involved.

Hi there, I'm Farah Ali.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and dedicated advocate for my clients. My educational foundation is based in psychology and social justice, having earned my master's degree in social work with a dual concentration in community practice and clinical mental health. Driven by a strong commitment to human rights and social justice, I am dedicated to advocating for every individual I work with and the communities I am part of.
My Core Principles as a Therapist:
Focusing on Strengths & Empowerment: Central to our work is helping you to more deeply connect to—and really use—your inherent strengths. This means looking for growth opportunities where some might find roadblocks and accessing both internal and external resources to help you make the changes you want to see in your life.
Working for Comprehensive Wellness: Therapy is a place where we can work toward mental and emotional wellness, learn how to foster positive relationships, and discover a greater sense of balance and ease in your day-to-day life.
Promoting Connection & Authenticity: The relationship we have is vital, which is why I work hard to make sure our relationship is a nurturing space for meaningful growth.
Creating Safety in Being Seen: I strive to make our sessions a place where every emotion is valued, encouraged, and supported—yes, even the “bad” or “undesirable” emotions. This is the space we cultivate together in our work, and space that is here to help you more deeply see yourself, and be seen in your authenticity.

Hi, I'm Telecia
Are you having difficulty leading your best life? Is stress making it difficult to get through the day? You do not have to deal with this alone.
Central to all of my sessions are respect, acceptance, and openness. I believe that therapy is a partnership. We will work together to reach your goals. Your ideas and contributions are central to achieving our success. I have experience in many evidence based therapeutic modalities. I believe one of the most effective to be a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Whether you're dealing with relationship issues, cycles of anxiety and depression, or having difficulty meeting your goals, I'm here to help. We all want to be our best self. I would be pleased to help you reach that goal.
