Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Texas

What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.

I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.

Thank you for taking the first step in seeking help. Sometimes taking this first step is the hardest for most people to take, so congratulations! My hope is to provide you with a safe place to work on whatever symptoms or concerns you are currently dealing with. I have been in the field for over 15 years and have worked with an array of populations. My experience is in the areas of trauma, PTSD, ADHD, adolescents (at-risk youth), relationship issues, divorce, and law enforcement issues. In addition, I have experience working with veterans to provide a second opinion and/or assessment in support of their VA Disability claims.

As a military veteran, I also understand the expectations of the military lifestyle and the stress this places on family dynamics. My goal is work with your family to help build effective ways to manage both lifestyles without impeding the military mission.

Another unique population that I work with is law enforcement and first responders. Sometimes my purpose is to offer support and/or assistance with fitness for duty evaluations. Again, I commend you on taking the first step to a healthier you. I look forward to working with you and/or your family.

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.

Amanda has 8 years of clinical experience in trauma-informed therapy. Amanda has a background in long-term rehabilitation, psychological assessments, inpatient, outpatient, individual, and group therapy.

In both my professional and personal experiences, I have come to realize that healing starts in an environment where individuals feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. Therapy is a collaborative journey rooted in trust, empathy, and mutual respect. Together, we will identify obstacles to well-being, develop effective coping mechanisms, and cultivate the skills needed to achieve robust emotional health and a more fulfilling life. I utilize evidence-based practice strategies to assist individuals in managing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and personal development, among other issues. My goal is to foster a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can freely examine their thoughts and emotions as part of a healing process, progressing toward a state of freedom and holistic wellness.
