Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Midland, TX

Hello, I’m Dr Wiesner. I have a PhD in counseling. I was a professor teaching graduate students for seven years. During this time I was the director of a ten room counseling clinic at the university. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor for those new to the field, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I strive to be respectful and care about clients achieving their goals as quickly as possible. I taught diagnoses nine semesters at the university. I have published several research papers in peer reviewed journals and have made 7 presentations at the state and national level. I taught research methods and statistics but what really matters to me aren’t my degrees etc..but wanting you to live a zest filled life.

I have a degree in engineering and a MBA but left engineering to focus on assisting clients find and achieve goals that are important to them. Engineering trained me to think logically and to problem solve with an emphasis on practical issues and being practical. Practical and long lasting results is my focus.

I’m a member of Mensa and have been in the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association. While I have treated a long list of issues my main focus has been working with couples, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and past trauma.

If you choose me I would feel honored to help as best I can. I work with age ranges from six year olds to seniors. I like to say I want difficult and complex cases but you are not a case.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 9 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s most difficult transitions. My practice specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma, with a deep focus on the unique cultural and emotional challenges of immigrant life. I am dedicated to helping clients resolve relational issues and heal from past wounds, providing a compassionate and expert-led path toward emotional resilience and a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to support clients in building coping skills, emotional balance, and self-awareness. I am known for my empathetic nature, active listening skills, and patient approach, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change. To accommodate busy schedules, I offer flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends.

Hi, and welcome! I'm a therapist who supports folks looking to deepen their relationships, experience more fun in their lives, and reconnect with their identity. You might have tried therapy before, and still struggle with anxiety or depression, even after gaining more insight. Much like myself, many of my clients have an overcontrolled coping style. This overcontrolled perspective often comes with huge strengths in achieving ambitious goals, juggling a busy schedule, and privately coping with big feelings. We can celebrate where you excel and explore how this coping style might leave you feeling stuck, depleted, or burnt out.

As your therapist, I want you to know that my goal is to provide a supportive, honest, and empowering space where you can safely grow and heal. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience working in substance abuse treatment, addiction recovery, and couples therapy. I am also certified in Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) and trauma-informed care. I bring a direct yet compassionate approach to therapy—one that is motivating, empathetic, and grounded in humility. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Psychology at Grand Canyon University, which continues to strengthen my clinical skills and deepen my commitment to helping clients create lasting change. My practice is built on respect, collaboration, and the belief that everyone has the capacity to transform their life.

Asking for help can feel unattainable when you are already trying to find a reason to keep going. Whether you are overwhelmed with the "stuff" on your plate today or it has been something building for years, taking that first step can be difficult. Sometimes we need a place to talk things through, a place that is free from judgment. I know that I am not where I thought I'd be 5 years ago; life can be rough, but you do not have to do this alone.

My goal as a Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is to create a safe, affirming and collaborative space for individuals to explore the complexities of life. Therapy can be a daunting experience; therefore, I like to meet people where they are at in their therapy journey.

Hello and welcome. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and have been in practice for 29 years. I have worked in diverse settings with adults, children and adolescents, individually, with families, and in groups, both inpatient and outpatient. I am focused on the client and solutions in a practical and straightforward manner. Accepting all clients age 2yrs through Adulthood.

Thank you so much for considering me as your next therapist. I have been working in the mental health field for the past 25 years in a variety of settings and with various groups, and have been practicing as an LPC for the past three years.

I feel honored to work with clients who face challenges related to anxiety, depression, major life transitions and trauma. I thoroughly believe that healing can be obtained by anyone and everyone is worthy of discovering a life worth living.

My philosophy begins inside the heart of my clients. As a former elementary teacher, I learned the valuable lesson that my clients will never care what I know or had to teach them until they knew I cared about them. This lesson is applicable in so many instances, and especially when I counsel. I enjoy getting to know every client on a personal level. I want to know them as a person, and especially what they enjoy most. That is one reason why I am passionate about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This technique incorporates what clients are interesting in learning about themselves, which is often to engage and discover their true potential, and in doing so, they are more at ease to have meaningful conversations.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor practicing in Texas (67510). I earned a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) from Walden University in 2024 and a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University in Austin, TX in 2009. I have 15 years of experience as a substance abuse and child psychotherapist. I am also a Clinical Certified Sand Tray Therapist.

My internship was with the Hays Caldwell Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse's Intensive Outpatient Program for clients who were court mandated to receive treatment.

My dissertation was titled "Designing Organizational Systems to Support Achievement of Performance Goals in Student Mental Health"
