Let's be real, sometimes life gets in the way of living! There are just time when life is not always the way we want or thought it would be.

People keep saying that you are so strong, but you don't want to be strong and you definitely don’t feel strong. You know you have people around you that love you and also you feel alone. You want to believe that you’ll find yourself again. If you’re losing hope that you can manage all the things in your life, counseling can help!

Are you looking for a medication free treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, stuttering, developmental disabilities, or other brain related difficulties? Or, are you a high achieving student, professional or athlete who desires to enhance your performance in academics, athletics, or business? Everyone wants to have more effective, more efficient brain power. We want to perform at our personal peak, without the use of psychotropic medications. As a Licensed Psychologist and Board Certified Neurotherapist, I treat children and adults using brain training, and individual and family counseling techniques.


We teach the brain to regulate itself using EEG neurofeedback, as well as safe and subtle neurostimulation. While the brain is growing stronger and more adaptive, counseling is provided to assist with problem solving strategies and the cultivation of enhanced emotional and behavioral regulation.

Give us a call today so we may begin training your brain to function its peak performance. We have evening & weekend hours available. No student need miss any school.

Eric Rausch

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • McKinney, TX


I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping people untangle challenges that often feel overwhelming, interconnected, or hard to name. I believe most struggles don’t exist in isolation—they affect our relationships, our emotions, and how we move through the world. My role is to truly get to know you, understand your story, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

My background is both clinical and academic. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with graduate degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I’m also a doctoral candidate in Educational Psychology. This combination allows me to look at your concerns through emotional, relational, and systemic lenses—not just symptom-focused ones.

I specialize in trauma work, relationship therapy, and working with preteens and teens—who are often misunderstood but incredibly important to support early. I’ve trained in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, Art Therapy, and Conflict & Dispute Resolution. Above all, I value creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.
