Hello! Welcome to LIV Counseling, LLC! I would like to congratulate your act of courage in embarking on this journey. I understand for many sharing their personal struggles is not easy. Vulnerability is uncomfortable. With any success one must get comfortable with being uncomfortable. I created LIV counseling in 2021 to fulfill my desire to help those who feel lost, lifeless, emotionless, and withdrawn from life's greatest pleasures. I believe everyone has the ability to be the best version of themselves. I am Mexican by nature and American by heart. I integrate both cultures to provide my authentic rhythm to the work I provide to my clients. I also value honesty, commitment, and communication, thus, incorporate these values into my practice. My approach is not religion based rather focuses on the spiritual-self .

Hello there, I want to ask you a series of questions, Are you overwhelmed and stressed a lot of the time? What has been the quality of your sleep lately? Do past hurts, traumas and damaged relationships keep you woke at night? Do you feel misunderstood and judged? Is your best not good enough? Do you long for relief from the pain of the past? I'm here to tell you that carrying the weight of unresolved issues impacts your present as well as your outlook for the future. The hurt that's embedded deep in your heart may manifest as anger, depression, isolation, anxiety, broken relationships, poor parenting, eating disorders, substance abuse, and much more. It's okay to seek help you're not weak; you're human. My passion is helping you heal the pain in your heart. I want you to release that pain and begin healing. I want to help you to come to terms with the experiences you feel you cannot face alone. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychoanalytic therapy to help you overcome the limiting and often paralyzing beliefs that result from past hurts and trauma. I want you to live fully again! My career is a call to serve. I have 21 years of experience where I have focused on healing emotional and psychological wounds. I provide a safe place where you can expose your pain and problems through a heart-to-heart conversation. I take pride in my ability effectively engage, listen, and hear what is NOT being said. I offer therapeutic interactions that bring comfort, healing, and hope, for the future. I honor the opportunity to connect with you.

Hi, I'm JoAnn. A client once said to me "I feel so heavy, everyday, it's like I'm swimming in mud". Many times people feel this way but they don't really know why. Everything is a struggle, even just trying to express a thought or a feeling. It's so hard to feel happy and free or enjoy certain moments when mental/emotional struggles make you feel physically weighed down. Stress, anxiety & depression all have the capacity to make you feel unmotivated and downright exhausted before you even start your day. It's important for you to understand the effects stress, anxiety or depression can have on you not only mentally/emotionally but physically as well. Let me help you work through those struggles so that you can feel free and enjoy life again.

If you're finding it tough to be kind to yourself, I get it. In our talks, I want to help you sort through things. I use a mix of ideas from different types of therapy.

This helps us give more purpose and depth to what you're going through. We'll also look at how your thoughts can affect your feelings and actions, and figure out ways to make those thoughts work better for you. And we'll use mindfulness to help you accept what's out of your control while sticking to the things that really matter to you. Whether you're dealing with big emotions, tangled relationships, or just feeling unsure, taking this step to talk it out is a brave move. In our chats, I'm here with easy-to-understand ideas and practical ways to help you grow and find your way. Let's take this journey together

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is a metaphor used to encourage optimism and a positive can-do attitude in the face of adversity. Lemons represent adversity or difficulty in life and making lemonade is turning those difficulties into something sweet or positive. It is estimated that 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health disorder at one point in their lives. Consequently, nearly two-thirds of those people living with a mental disorder never seek help from a health professional. Reaching out for help, demonstrates strength and courage and a willingness to persevere! Stacy Reynolds strives to bring an integrated approach, within her experience, expertise, clarity, goal - setting, and has the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively navigate difficult life issues. She possesses a genuine concern for the client and their pain. Stacy earned a Master of Arts Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice with an emphasis on Sociology and Psychology from Michigan State University. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in The State of Texas and is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC).

We are a whole world. Therapy is about mapping out, traveling to, and learning from all of the places we have inside of us. We can choose the places we call home, the places we visit sometimes, and the places we bring closure to as time goes on. My job as a therapist is to help you explore how your life experiences, influential relationships, and core beliefs continue to play a part in your everyday life. I’ve found that if we can work together to visit uncomfortable places long enough to find calm and to start to look around, we’ll see that every life event has important insight to keep present as we live out new experiences. I work with children and adults as they go through times of struggle, growth, and restoration by offering evidence-based resources and a Christ-centered approach to those who wish to incorporate their faith in their counseling journey. Qualifications: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Texas and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. I was able to earn my Master’s degree in 2008 from Palm Beach Atlantic, a Christian University which offered a specialization in Biblical foundations for Counseling work, and in 2013, I also completed my Doctor of Education degree from Argosy University, which gave me the opportunity to focus on child development as an area of study.

I work with people of all ages with a verity issues and concerns. The following are examples of issues I address on a regular basis. Individual Adult Therapy Many people have strong feelings like sadness, anxiety, anger, or despair and don’t really understand what causes them. Throughout our lives we receive feedback from family, teachers, clergy, friends, bosses, and sometimes total strangers. Negative and defeating thoughts are also caused by trauma, learning disabilities, and early failures to name a few. The feedback is in the form of statements about ourselves and they may or may not be true. But we get the negative words in our heads, and we unconsciously say the words so much that they become the things that we believe about ourselves. I have helped a great number of people with overcoming negative cognations by developing positive thoughts that aid in overcoming strong hurtful feeling that can lead to non productive behaviors and outcomes in all areas of life. By working together to resolve trauma and other hurtful situations you will find that you can succeed in almost anything that you work hard to accomplish. You can develop a strong can-do attitude and feel more relaxed, energetic, and happy. My practice welcomes LBGTQIA clients. I also work with people going through life transitions and relationship issues through senior adults. Individual Therapy for Children and Teens Some people believe that children are resilient and bounce back from anything stressful. There is some truth to that statement, but children carry the hurt they experience throughout their lives. As time passes, that hurt can cause negative thoughts, creating a personal script that interferes with life successes. Children and youth can disguise trauma by hiding their inner thoughts from parents, teachers, and caregivers, making them think all is well. Adults in these children’s lives are confused by certain behaviors the youth around them exhibit, but some behaviors are a cry for help. Depression and grief are not exclusive to adults. Depressed mood and grief often look like bad behavior exhibited by youth. Name-calling, bullying, fighting, talking back, disrespectful behavior, and many more ways of misbehavior can indicate a problem with deep sadness in a child. A depressed child displays many signs. Some children cry often, sleep too much or not enough, have nightmares, overeat, have failing grades, refuse to talk, or display a lack of interest in hobbies or activities usually enjoyed and isolation. ADHD is another problem. Additional issues that cause problems with schoolwork include ADHD Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. There are a lot of things to help a child with ADHD to be successful in school that are easy to implement at home and school. I believe that teamwork with school personnel can make the learning experience for a child with ADHD more pleasant for all involved. Therapy can help your child overcome the hurt. Sometimes parents and others fail to recognize the warning signs of the hurt experienced by children and teens. Therapy can help identify the causes of the anxiety, depression, and grief that your child feels and find ways to help them process how they feel. Through child therapy, I can help your child overcome the hurt they feel. In conclusion, my overall goal as your therapist is to help you achieve a positive attitude, help you work through concerns, and develop coping skills that lead to a peaceful and happy life.

I am a psychotherapist with 30+ years of extensive in/outpatient therapy experience. The most recent 16 years of experience have been at a Level 1 Trauma Center assisting those dealing with physical, emotional and/or psychological trauma. I am licensed in Texas as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in advanced clinical practice. This encompasses individual, family, couple, group, multi family group and educational group therapies. A cognitive behavioral approach is utilized which focuses on the attainment of client goals. Family therapy uses a family systems approach which recognizes the interactions between family members as being as important as individual behaviors. Specialties include survivorship, grief and loss, transitioning life stages, trauma informed care, depression and anxiety related challenges, motivation, self esteem and confidence development, removing barriers to self growth, and coping skills development. I am a U.S. Navy veteran and work with military and first responders and their significant others. I am a provider and a survivor. I believe the human spirit is stronger than we know until it's put to the test. It takes courage to take steps toward change and seek out a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I am here to offer insight, compassionate support & empowerment on that Journey. Much of my therapeutic approach involves a spiritual component. I believe you are the expert in the experiential portion of your story, but the author is of Divine Deity. You have been given many strengths and answers that will assist you in overcoming the challenges you currently experience. I have learned from my own personal experience that identification and development of one's purpose and sense of meaningfulness does not come without sacrifice, humility, compassion, integrity, endurance, trust and faith. Whether you are struggling with life challenges, trying to reunite and have closer relationships with others, trying to resolve spiritual estrangement, or having difficulty focusing and completing general daily tasks, I am grateful to share the path you travel in search of a meaningful and purpose driven life that has been prepared with uniqueness just for you.

I am so excited to have you visit me here and for giving me the chance to introduce myself!  My name is Sarah Nickolson-Kemper and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT).  I am also  a certified middle school teacher. After spending almost 10 years in the classroom, I recognized I wanted help in a different way. I love helping people realize the strengths they have within themselves and understand that we are all part of many systems (family, work, community, culture, etc) and as such, there are many contributing factors to our daily experiences in life.   I believe if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Encorporating various techniques such as mindfulness, journaling, art, and role play provide you the opportunity to find the right fit to help you set measurable and attainable goals to realize the change you want.

Hey there! Is your anxiety preventing you from living your best life and reaching your full potential? I know it’s difficult being paralyzed by your symptoms however, I am here to help you lean into that anxiety and uncomfortableness so that you can feel more confident in managing it. I have a collaborative approach to counseling and will work with you in finding ways to better empower you to improve you mental health. I utilize evidence based practices, more specifically, EMDR or ERP to help alleviate as well as process your anxiety, OCD, or trauma symptoms. Therapy is scary even more so if it’s your first time seeking help! If you are bilingual speaker, our emotional language can be in our native language or certain experiences are easier to process in Spanish. Having someone that can switch languages back and forth is essential so that you are able to fully express your experiences and/or symptoms. It is important to me to be there to support you, answer your questions, walk you through EMDR/ERP, and provide a safe virtual space to heal. Let’s work together! When I am not a clinician I enjoy going on hikes with my dog Autumn, slow mornings, cooking, camping/being outside, spending time with family, and traveling.
