ART Therapists in Amarillo, TX

I work with adult men who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves, often after years of carrying responsibility, stress, or unresolved trauma alone. Many of the men I see have learned to keep pushing forward without stopping to reflect. As a U.S. Army combat veteran, I understand that mindset firsthand. Over time, this can lead to emotional numbness, irritability, and a loss of direction or purpose. My approach is grounded in honesty, accountability, and reflection. I help clients step out of autopilot and take a more intentional role in their lives. Together, we explore how past experiences and identity shape present struggles, and what it means to move forward with clarity and self-responsibility. I specialize in working with men navigating purpose, identity, stress, trauma, and emotional disconnection. What you are experiencing is not a personal failure. It is often a signal that something important is asking for your attention. In our work, we slow things down, make sense of what is beneath the surface, and decide how you want to live. If you are ready to understand yourself more deeply and take ownership of your direction, I invite you to reach out.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, and/or depression can make daily life feel isolating and confusing. You might be coping with persistent fears, disordered eating patterns, life transitions, or the emotional toll of caregiving and change. These challenges can weigh heavily, but together we can find clarity and healing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, sleep issues, or painful memories? Do relationships feel challenging or leave you feeling drained? If these symptoms affect your daily life, I'm here to help. As a clinical psychologist with over 27 years of experience, I specialize in treating adults with insomnia, nightmares, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, I am board-certified in behavioral sleep medicine. In our work together, you will find me warm, caring, professional, practical, and down-to-earth. I believe in working collaboratively, informing you about your symptoms, providing you with practical ways to address your symptoms, and ensuring you can see your progress. Whether you're facing long-term challenges or sudden difficulties, I'm here to support you. Please reach out; let's explore how we can work together on your journey toward healing.

If you feel overwhelmed by stress, stuck in spirals of anxiety or depression, uncertain about how to navigate a life transition, or disconnected in your relationship, you are not alone—and change is possible. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear to manage well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck internally. Some are professionals dealing with job trauma, individuals navigating difficult life transitions, or people who find themselves overthinking, feeling emotionally drained, struggling with motivation and low mood, or committed couples caught in patterns of miscommunication and feeling disconnected. I help individuals and couples in Katy and the West Houston area find relief from anxiety, depression, stress, job-related trauma, and relationship challenges. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) combined with practical cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients process distressing experiences, reduce emotional overwhelm, and develop healthier ways of thinking, communicating, and responding to stress. Many clients find this approach helpful when traditional talk therapy alone has not fully resolved lingering anxiety, stress, or emotional triggers.

Everything is just so hard. My child is out of control. I am so tired of feeling this way. These types of statements often reflect the type of feelings Kelly's clients have.

Amarillo sits at the heart of the Texas Panhandle — a vast agricultural and energy-producing region — with a therapy community shaped by its role as the commercial and medical center for a large, largely rural surrounding population. The city's predominantly conservative, faith-oriented culture means spiritually integrated therapy is a mainstream part of the local offering rather than a specialty niche. Baptist St. Anthony Health System and Northwest Texas Healthcare System provide institutional mental health anchors for the Panhandle region, with a private therapy community that serves both city residents and clients traveling in from smaller surrounding communities. Amarillo's significant Hispanic population and growing refugee and immigrant communities create ongoing demand for bilingual and culturally informed therapists.
