Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Wichita Falls, TX

Life is a Journey. On this Journey we're faced with many twists & turns. My practice style is collaborative in nature. It focuses on joint commitment to change. Yet eclectic enough to incorporate different approaches that will help clients as they write and re-write their stories to transform their reality. Whether you are looking to address LGBTQ issues, individual therapy, family or couples therapy, intimate partner violence, sexual abuse, addictions, depression or other mental health issues.

My passion in life has always been to help people. A good therapist is a person you believe you can tell anything from daily stressors to your deepest darkest fears. CBT is the foundation to most treatment styles. Applying the correct style, whether it is motivational interviewing, person centered therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy or trauma therapy, can promote healing.

To say "things aren't always easy" is often an understatement. Sometimes things are more than hard, and may have been piling up for a while. Whether you're battling depression, anxiety, grief, or changes in life, I'm here to help. I've worked with children, teens and adults in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, where they work to sort out their struggles. I have seen the damage trauma can do to relationships, but have also seen the power in connecting with others.

Hi, I’m Lorissa Garza, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience in counseling and social services. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with individuals and families facing a variety of challenges and life circumstances.

My current areas of focus include supporting clients experiencing depression and anxiety, stress, OCD, as well as those working through the effects of trauma. I believe that everyone’s experiences are unique, and I take an individualized, compassionate approach to counseling.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences, develop practical tools for coping, and work toward meaningful change.

I've become very familiar with many aspects of the mental health field. I work with motivated clients willing to take responsibility for becoming well and happy.

My passion has always been helping marriages, families, and relationship. For the past 20+ years, I have specialized in marital relationships, helping people to build the relationships that they truly desire.

I take pleasure in being down-home friendly and plainspoken. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I happen to be a disabled veteran and a Bible-believing Christian. While my faith in Christ and my family are the central part of my life, I don't push it on others, but my faith definitely helps me treat others with care, compassion, respect and without judgment.. I enjoy working with people from various backgrounds and cultures.
