I see clients of any age from two years and up. I also see any mental or behavioral illness.

Usually, they are learned during early childhood and continually get worse throughout life if not dealt with. I also process past trauma in any shape. This allows clients to change things in their lives that are toxic to them, gain better self-esteem, and be rid of the problems they are seeking counseling for.

I utilize evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, to help clients overcome struggles and achieve positive outcomes. Life's challenges can feel like a relentless storm, leaving us feeling adrift and overwhelmed. In these moments, we may feel lost, with no clear direction or sense of safety. However, even the most powerful storms have an end. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore your feelings and find your way through the storm. You don't have to face these challenges alone; I am here to walk with you every step of the way. Together, we will navigate these turbulent waters, uncovering your strength and resilience.

Hello there, I'm Liz! I work with clients who are wanting to heal from past trauma experiences and get to the root causes of their struggles. Trauma changes the way you view yourself, others, and the world. It often has lasting impacts that can be manifested in your current struggles with anxiety, depression, true fulfillment in relationships, diminished executive functioning, and difficulty with honoring your needs and boundaries. My goal is to help you gain insight, build self-awareness, and foster personal growth. Some areas of focus I enjoy addressing with my clients include boundary building, negative core beliefs, strengthening internal validation, self-care, identifying trauma responses, addressing attachment wounds, aligning to your values, improving daily functioning, and developing healthy coping strategies. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models and techniques to help my clients including but not limited to Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. For those who desire and request it, I can integrate Christian-based counseling into the therapeutic process. I believe education/knowledge of what you are going through sets the foundation to the therapeutic work you will be doing.

Hello there! Take a deep breath. It's not easy finding the right therapist. I have been on the other side of the therapy desk and know how hard it is to open up to a stranger. It's okay if you are anxious about it, I understand this. I have provided therapy for almost 20 years and have been in the mental health field for over 25 years in a multitude of settings - schools, prisons, outpatient and inpatient facilities. I've been in private practice for about 8 years. If you need just a few sessions to gain just a few tools to help over a rough patch, we can collaborate on that. Or, if you are ready for a major change in your life to address some serious problems, we can work on that, as well. My approach is collaborative, meaning, you and I are a team to work towards a solution for your current challenges.

Welcome! My name is Amber and my practice is called Discover You Therapy, PLLC. I provide individual psychotherapy to Texas adults via virtual sessions. I do not provide couples or family/group therapy nor do I see clients under 18. Do you wonder why you always seem to have relationship problems? Maybe you're a chronic overthinker who struggles with anxiety? Perhaps you suffered a loss that really messed you up? If any of those questions resonate you, you've come to the right place. I specialize in relationships (partners, friends, family, etc), anxiety & grief/loss. These issues can be such a heavy weight to carry! I'd love to walk alongside you to assist so you can begin to breathe again. I will help you navigate through your relationship problems, manage your anxiety and cope with your grief/loss. I will use an integrative therapeutic approach that draws from various modalities to best address your unique needs and circumstances. Rather than adhering rigidly to a single therapeutic model, I will flexibly incorporate techniques from mindfulness based therapy, emotionally focused therapy, grief therapy and other frameworks as appropriate. Reaching out for help is such a courageous move. So happy you've taken that step! I've helped hundreds of clients experience freedom from their relationships, anxiety & grief so I'd be my honor to add you to that client list. Thank you for checking out my profile! If you're interested in getting things started, please contact me to schedule a free 15 min consultation. If we're a good fit, then we can get the initial appointment scheduled.

Is anxiety, feeling "stuck" in dysfunctional cycles, or depression taking control of your life? Past hurts may be affecting your ability to respond to situations in a way that feels healthy or productive, leaving you feeling disconnected from others. I can help you learn to care for yourself without feeling guilty, find relief from emotional pain, and build stronger, more positive relationships with those around you. It's time to stop just getting by and start truly thriving. I would be happy to assist you in gaining tools and insight to help improve the relationship with yourself. I will help you gain insight into the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and develop emotional regulation skills. We’ll work together to strengthen your boundaries and communication with yourself and others, fostering a healthier relationship with yourself and creating lasting change in how you approach life’s challenges. I help my clients explore the root causes of their struggles, heal from trauma, and rebuild self-worth, creating lasting change in their emotional lives and relationships.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Texas rather than a city like Dallas?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Texas from Houston to Austin! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Texas.

Will my therapist take UnitedHealthcare StudentResources?

Yes! If you use UnitedHealthcare StudentResources you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have UnitedHealthcare StudentResources you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
