Lake Area Counseling, LLC

Anxiety and depression can make us feel stuck, but there is hope. When our relationships become stressful and unmanageable, we withdraw to protect ourselves. Do you feel like you have been "just surviving?" Do you want to slow down, reflect, and work toward meaningful change? Are you eager to feel better or fine-tune the work you already started? Connecting with a new therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment and reach out and get a sense of how our work together would feel. This is my passion and I hope I have an opportunity to share my expertise and help you with your journey. I am licensed in Texas and Florida and offer services virtually. Life experiences and circumstances beyond our control shape our personalities. When we are curious about our past, we can uncover implicit memories (memories we might not be aware of) held within us, causing emotional upset, over-reactions, anxiety, and somatic complaints. Brain-based interventions are powerful and can provide immediate symptom relief. Many clients see a significant reduction in symptoms after the first session. If you are stuck or have tried years of talk therapy without much success, these evidenced-based interventions may help. Accelerated Resolution Therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, Ego State Therapy, and Deep Brain Reorienting are brain-based interventions that help us heal (by creating new pathways) in the depths of our brain where anxiety, depression, trauma and sadness are held. Memory reconsolidation helps us keep the knowledge and lose the pain. Feel Better Feel more safe, calm, grounded and resilient. Feel less irritable, anxious and overwhelmed. Think Better Think more clearly, attentively, and creatively. Think less rigidly, disorganized and distractible. Connect Better Connect more openly, genuinely and wholly. Connect less guardedly, distantly and without opposition. If you are stuck or have tried years of talk therapy without much success, try one session. Many clients have expressed that these treatment methods have been life-changing for them, significantly reducing reported disturbance levels within one session.
