Services
PTSD Treatment
Specialized care for posttraumatic stress disorder using evidence-based modalities like Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Our approach emphasizes symptom reduction while fostering psychological flexibility through Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. Clients learn to navigate trauma memories while rebuilding meaningful life patterns aligned with personal values.
Moral Injury Therapy
Targeted interventions addressing moral conflict from traumatic experiences, particularly in military and first responder populations. We utilize values clarification exercises and narrative restructuring techniques to resolve guilt, shame, and existential distress. This specialized treatment helps clients reconcile traumatic events with personal ethical frameworks through structured therapeutic processes.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Mindfulness-based approach enhancing psychological flexibility through six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, present moment awareness, self-as-context, values, and committed action. We apply ACT principles to help clients develop more adaptive responses to painful thoughts and emotions while pursuing value-driven behavioral changes.
Telehealth Counseling
Secure video-based mental health services accessible to Texas residents. This modality maintains therapeutic effectiveness while offering flexibility for clients with scheduling or mobility challenges. Sessions follow the same evidence-based protocols as in-person therapy with additional focus on creating effective home-based treatment environments.
Psychological Assessments
Comprehensive evaluations measuring cognitive functioning, emotional distress patterns, and trauma impact. Standardized assessment tools guide treatment planning while considering individual client contexts. These evaluations inform personalized intervention strategies and track progress throughout the therapeutic process.
