Person-Centered therapists in Fort Worth, Texas TX

My approach is to be client-centered, meaning move at your pace and respect your process. Change is so difficult otherwise you wouldn’t be considering reaching out for help. I do not pressure clients nor do I set the agenda. You decide the direction of the session. You decide your long term goals. My role is to be present with you, to reflect any patterns I hear, and to help you challenge any stories that are repeating and causing you pain. I have been described as authentic, warm and empowering by my clients. I have a slightly goofy personality and can use humor in session. Sometimes we need to laugh at the irony of life. I share my own struggles, when appropriate, because I want you to know that you are not alone. My areas of interest are trauma/PTSD, anxiety, grief/loss, self-esteem and body image. My greatest joy is witnessing a client recover from trauma and feel empowered.  

Our Fort Worth counseling practice is diverse in providing treatment. We offer individual, family, and marriage counseling. Also, our highly trained therapists provide group therapy for divorce, social anxiety, and pornography addiction.  

I have 18 years of experience in counseling. I have worked in private practice, hospitals, clinics and schools. I design your treatment plan specifically for you. I am a Certified EMDR trauma therapist. I also offer therapy from a Christian worldview if desired by you.  

At New Horizon Counseling Center we offer individuals, couples and family counseling in a group practice setting with licensed counselors and social workers. Our trained, caring therapy staff offer a variety of approaches to meet the specific needs of each client in a safe and calm setting.  

I understand that the first step is often the most difficult. Whether you are dealing with feelings of hopelessness, depression, anxiety, a past tragedy, or abuse, know that hope and healing are within reach. You don't have to walk this journey alone. I counsel adults and adolescents who are experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, grief, and loss. Counseling is a safe place where you can learn, grow, and develop the skills needed to navigate the challenges of life.  

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.... Feeling stuck? Sometimes we feel lost, get overwhelmed with anxious thoughts, become sad, get angry, and feel worthless; simply put because of our negative thoughts we feel stuck. Perhaps your tween or teen is struggling with focus, impulsive behaviors, or other behavioral issues. Does lack of motivation, struggles with decision making, or other challenges get in the way of you setting or accomplishing goals? When our thoughts aren't right, we don't feel right. I provide therapy to adolescents, adults, families, and couples equipping them with tools to overcome life’s challenges.  

All of us, no matter what may bring us to counseling, deserve healing. Lea practices from a trauma informed mindset, and uses a variety of techniques, including EMDR, to meet her clients where they're at in life.  

We love our job and our clients. Our staff offers a true compassion for the people they see. If you are interested in counseling we want to help you find the best fit, even if it's not one of the amazing counseling in our offices. We support your desire to seek to fulfill your needs.  

In years of practicing counseling and doing my own training and research, I have learned that besides knowing "Why" it is also important to know "How." I find many people knowing where their trauma or problem is coming from, but they are still not able to move forward and resolve the issue. My focus is on understanding the client's challenge and then helping her/him move forward with practical and doable steps.  

Specializing in Mindfulness Based Therapy, I work with Adults addressing concerns such as Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Relationship Conflict, Job/ School Dissatisfaction, Behavioral issues, and Low Self Esteem. There are many reasons for seeking counseling, but the end goal is usually the same: to obtain greater happiness, internal peace, and more satisfaction personally and relationally. We will work together to resolve the challenges you are facing that are withholding you from experiencing life in the way you desire: with peace, passion, and purpose.
