Hello and welcome! Thank you very much for seeking counseling services. This takes much courage and I admire and applaud you for taking this important step. People seek out counseling for many reasons. Maybe they are feeling lost, maybe they are stuck in a rut, maybe a bad break up has left them in pieces, maybe a traumatic event has been affecting their lives, maybe the use of substances has taken over their lives as they used them to get through the day and now have gone too far, or maybe they are even feeling the abysses of depression and anxiety and can't understand where its coming from. Whatever the reasons for counseling, the rigors of life have affected the person so profoundly that it has made a hard, negative impact in their lives and may feel like they have lost control. In seeking counseling you have made a choice to take back control of your life, You have decided to fight hard against the inner turmoil. I have the upmost respect for you! If you would please allow me to accompany you on your journey to achieve the goals you wish to achieve, I can assure you that I would give you my very best. Your goals are what's important to me and exploring different ways to find that inner peace is something I do not take lightly. My name is Silvestre Rubio, but all my life people have called me Silver. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology (2011) and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I have over 9 years of experience in Counseling and assisting people with a variety of diagnoses such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Substance Use, and Schizoaffective disorders to name a few. In addition, My approach to treatment entails a few crucial things. We must work hard to establish a good, trusting, strong therapeutic relationship first and foremost. I want you to be comfortable to be able to speak to me about anything and know that you will not be judged. I have your back and your well being as my top priority. We can go at whatever pace you wish to go whether fast or slow and your goals are what I'm here to help you achieve. Together we will explore the things that have been bothering you and come up with a treatment plan with reasonable goals you want. We will immediately learn skills, tools and coping mechanisms to ensure you are equipped to deal with a variety of things in your life. In addition, counseling isn't just about learning skills to "handle" things. Having immediate tools is essential, but what is just as essential is to continue to explore the issues that have been bothering you so that we can get to the root and eventually not even have the negative feelings. For example, when some one is using drugs we learn skills that can help achieve sobriety right away. This is very important, but in order to maintain sobriety, we explore the reasons behind substance use in the first place. This can be uncomfortable and can take time, but once we get to the root of what's causing substance use and eliminate it, then this may be where "true healing" takes place. Whatever the situation may be in your case, I. want you to know that you have my unconditional support and will be with you to help get to where you wish to be. Something that I have learned through my years in counseling is that every person is unique, every person is different, every one has a different view and even with similar issues, counseling sessions have be tailored for everyone's individual needs and goals. This is what you will get from me, a person who sees you as a person and wants to help you be the best you. I'm not here to "shrink" you and most definitely know 100 percent must be given to the session every time. Your thoughts, feelings, emotions matter and I'm here to try and help you. If this is the type of counselor you are looking for, then I'm your guy. I look forward to working with you!

Hello and welcome! My name is Stacie and I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas. Over the past 7 years I have worked extensively in various mental health settings all the way from outpatient clinics to partial hospitalization programs to inpatient psychiatric hospitals. My expertise include working with individuals who have depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, LGBT issues, family conflict, and issues related to self esteem/self worth. Prior to working in mental health I was a school teacher. My time as a teacher made a huge impact on my life and taught me some valuable lessons. Given my experience as a teacher, I enjoy when the opportunity presents itself in counseling to do just that, teach. I don’t believe counseling should be some mysterious experience so I want you to understand what we are doing and why we are doing it. Ultimately having that understanding will allow you to apply that knowledge to everyday life and use long after counseling is over. Every individual is different with their own experiences and as your counselor I would work with you to tailor our time together to fit your needs and goals because at the end of the day this is about you and your happiness right? I look forward to helping and I will be right there with you every step of the way!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a PhD in Human Services with a specialization in counseling. My therapeutic style includes the concept that the counselor/client relationship is, in itself, a clinical helping strategy. My clinical style also includes narratives, vignettes, or brief stories designed to help illustrate or illuminate client circumstances in a non-threatening manner. This technique encourages clients to derive parallels to their own circumstances. I work with individuals and couples. Historically, most of my clientele have been adults/couples, followed by adolescents, and then older children. I currently work with adults only. Most of my therapeutic services involve adult relationship issues. These include adjusting to major life events and various forms of loss including health, divorce, empty nest issues, and intimacy problems. People commonly experience symptoms consistent with depression and anxiety during these life events. Additionally, I work with attention deficit disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, work related stress problems, adjustment issues, and general faith or spiritual issues. However, I am not a Christian based or Faith based therapist. Like most mental health clinicians, I have an eclectic approach to counseling in that I borrow from several theories of human behavior and development. However, I gravitate to the existential/transpersonal model in that I'm interested in what the person is experiencing today while considering the concept that people are spiritual beings embodied. I incorporate the cognitive behavioral model and, at times, utilize a more psychoanalytic model exploring the person's childhood experiences within a developmental context. My personal counseling philosophy consists of three fundamental pillars: 1. Human beings are spiritual beings embodied (Existential/Transpersonal Theory). 2. My clientele and I are more alike than different. Things important to me, as a person tend to be important to all people in general. For this reason, a positive counselor/client relationship may function as a therapeutic strategy. 3. The people I serve have the answers they seek before treatment begins. The therapeutic process serves to illuminate paths/options so that answers become more clearly visible. AVAILABILITY SCHEDULE I schedule 8 sessions per day, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. I take an hour break from 12:00pm - 1:00pm. This schedule enables me to provide 40 sessions per week, each session lasting 45 minutes.

Hi! I am Aryeh (pronounced AR-yay.) I am a therapist licensed in New York and Texas. I help people understand and cope with a variety of mild, moderate or severe life circumstances and/or emotional, behavioral or cognitive concerns. I specialize in trauma/PTSD and have extensive training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I have also trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), narrative therapy and EFT (Emotionally-Focused Therapy). Additionally, I treat anxiety, stress, grief, low self esteem, personality disorders and building effective boundaries with family/relationships. People have the drive to be emotionally healthy with themselves and their loved ones. Therapy can often help achieve these goals. My counseling style is warm and interactive, I believe it is important to treat anyone with respect and dignity, to empower them and instill confidence in a compassionate manner. No two problems are ever exactly the same, so I make it my personal objective to listen very carefully to each person and in a very open and non-judgmental way. I always do my best to understand what each situation feels like when looking out through their eyes. I believe in being client-centered and supporting client’s where they are at (with a pinch of humor thrown in). It is important for me to include the client in the treatment planning process and help monitoring success. It takes courage and bravery to take that first step towards change, if you are ready to take that first step I am happy to help guide, support and encourage along the way. I look forward to working with you and helping you create a life full of happiness. (Please note: I am currently only available for messaging)

First, I applaud you for taking this courageous step to wholeness, you are seeking change and self-discovery. Hope is the "antidote." If you are looking for a safe space to begin a journey of discovery, change, growth, or healing, you have come to the right place. I pride myself on being empathetic and an active listener. I hold a doctorate, bachelor's, and master's degree. I have over twenty years of clinical counseling. Although I am certified in CBT cognitive behavior therapy, I pride myself on being eclectic, because I know that each client is unique. I also enjoy using a holistic approach to wellness. I am here to support and empower you in your journey and pursuit of change. I have extensive experience helping clients struggling with: depression; anxiety; OCD; Bipolar; stress; excessive worrying- negative rumination; relaxation difficulties; role overload; and communication difficulties (e.g. active listening skills, seeking clarity, getting an understanding; addressing mental filtering; and mind reading); and improving interactions with others.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Bartonville area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Bartonville therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Bartonville due to a higher cost of living. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Bartonville may not take health insurance, some in the state of Texas may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With BetterHelp or clinicians throughout the state of Texas you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How is a licensed therapist on this online therapy platform verified?

Therapists in Bartonville, Texas working on BetterHelp are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited as a doctor of psychology (PhD / PsyD), licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW / LICSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All of these psychology clinicians have a Masters Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field of psychology sciences, and follow the APA Code of Ethics. They have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, they all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy. 

Please note BetterHelp does not offer or provide care from psychiatrists to prescribe a drug as treatment, or perform psychological assessments.

How does working with a counselor in BetterHelp online therapy sessions work?

BetterHelp clinicians treat clients online across the United States (individuals and couples) through life transitions, inner child exploration, long term depression or anxiety, and more. An online mental health professional, including the therapists in Bartonville above, can work with young adults, children, adolescents, and adults virtually as an accredited licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) or licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT).

You can also try a Bartonville therapy provider through BetterHelp's sister platform, ReGain, which is dedicated to couples and spouses worldwide. 

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

A psychologist in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Bartonville therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words.

With a lot of people in TX, providers may be booked out with clients.

No matter if you are seeking help in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Bartonville counselor?

Before seeing your therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the therapy process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, let them know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about. They may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what therapy entails. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback and advice. A Bartonville licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find through therapy can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles.

Is mental health care and therapy worth it? 

Therapy is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health professional has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Bartonville, Texas can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Bartonville has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online therapy to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
