Therapists serving clients in Hilshire Village, TX

Thank you for your interest in learning more about me. My name is Farhat Hasan, and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have an Educational Specialist degree in Counseling from Mississippi State University (2016) and a Master of Education degree in Counseling from the University of Mississippi (2004). With 17 years of experience as a counselor in both face-to-face and online modalities, I have provided services to clients from diverse backgrounds in various settings, including schools, residential drug rehabilitation centers, in-patient and outpatient facilities, as well as group homes. My extensive professional background in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, clinics, and schools has equipped me with exceptional abilities and clinical expertise, enabling me to assist my clients in achieving their unique goals. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anger management, family conflict, relationship conflicts, drug abuse, post-partum stress, and trauma/abuse. Additionally, I have worked with clients dealing with depression, mild autism, international students/spouses, and immigrant populations. My counseling philosophy is based on accepting the individual, considering their background, life experiences, and personal beliefs. Employing a client-centered approach, I collaborate with clients to help them develop insight and identify their strengths, empowering them to make immediate changes. I also assist them in monitoring their progress to ensure they continue working towards their goals. I provide guidance, encouragement, and, when appropriate, challenge them to overcome obstacles independently. Above all, I offer a listening ear to understand and validate clients' thoughts and emotions, helping them devise a plan to move forward. Therapy, for me, is a journey that can be both enjoyable and straightforward. I meet my clients where they are, recognizing the courage and determination it takes to seek help. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. -Farhat

Hello! I’m Barbara Lee, a clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in the state of Texas. I’ve been a therapist for over 15 years and have worked with clients with a variety of concerns including, depression, anxiety, life transition issues, interpersonal/relationship difficulty, caregiver fatigue, career challenges as well as individuals recovering from a history of abuse. My practice style is client-centered, supportive and strengths based. I love working with clients to develop solutions that center their values. My approach is non-judgmental and accepting of all of the different ways people identify and relate to one another. I am confident that I can help you through the difficulty you are experiencing right now. You’ve taken a very important first step and I’m looking forward to working with you!

We all have experienced times when life seems challenging. Whether it be a period of transition, ongoing struggles with mental wellness or a loss that can seem overwhelming. Or maybe you are struggling with the current times, that can find us in a world that might not feel very stable or safe. Routines have been interrupted, financial stressors have been amplified, and health/livelihood are being questioned. You don’t have to go through these times alone. And in these moments, you might benefit by chatting with a counselor. And that’s where I come into play. I am an experienced therapist that assists others that are wanting to change old patterns in order to create growth and change. I specialize in working with adults in the following areas: LGBTQ+, anxiety, depression, chronic medical conditions (to include HIV), grief/loss and trauma. I use a combination of skills and interventions to foster resiliency and empower clients to reach their individualized goals. I believe in a holistic approach (mind and body connection) and utilize mindfulness interventions to help clients be present and grounded. I believe it’s important to understand how our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all interconnected. Therapy is an authentic and secure connection between the client and therapist. It consists of a space of safety, respect and acceptance between both entities. The therapeutic process can consist of only a few sessions to address immediate concerns (or to get a tune-up as I call it) or it can be extended to address long standing patterns. The first (and sometimes hardest) step is to send me an email to initiate services. I look forward to working alongside you.

Hi there! I am so grateful that you have decided to try therapy as an option to help you at this time in your life. Beginning a relationship with a therapist can bring up some challenging feelings such as discomfort and uncertainty. It is my hope that together we can make the experience feel encouraging and even something that you look forward to. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in the state of Texas, and live in Austin. I have gained over six years of clinical experience in several settings, including a nonprofit advocacy center, two crisis shelters and, most recently, a secure juvenile facility. I specialize in working with survivors of trauma from abuse, sexual assault, family and dating violence, and displacement from being unhoused, at all stages of the healing process. Experiences of trauma often leave survivors with many symptoms that can have such a large impact on their daily lives. These symptoms range widely from difficulty engaging in relationships, struggles maintaining a job, flashbacks and nightmares, feeling overwhelmed with emotions, having a persistent feeling of being on edge or no feelings at all, panic attacks and generalized anxiety, deficit in self-esteem or self-worth, depression, and even thoughts of suicide. Symptoms of trauma can reach high levels for a survivor during times of transition, such as the passage from adolescence into adulthood, beginning and endings of relationships, entering a new job or school, and most definitely during such uncertainty as we have collectively been enduring. My approach to working with survivors of trauma is to first build trust, as impossible as that may seem for the client, through genuine engagement and unconditional acceptance. When a client is ready, together we can explore their specific concerns and work to identify new, adaptive options for coping that help restore their desired quality of life. Within our therapeutic relationship a client can find their voice by practicing assertive communications skills, learn to befriend their body again with mindfulness and movement exercises, and establish a self-care routine that nourishes their whole self. It is my ultimate meaning to help clients remember that they are worthy of this life and own their power for fulfillment of any goal they desire to reach. Thank you for reading and learning more about my skill set. Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is important work and I appreciate your research. If you find that we could be a good fit, please reach out and let me know. I would like the opportunity to get to know you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas. I have been practicing since 1995, most of this time in Community Mental Health Programs. I have worked with many issues of concern to my clients, ranging from serious mental illness to life choices. I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, elderly individuals, couples and groups. In 2005, I opened my private practice and kept it open full time until 2020. During the pandemic, my clientele reduced due to my choosing to begin telehealth sessions instead of face-to-face sessions. I am residing in a smaller city and most of the population is not comfortable with tele-health so I decided to continue at a reduced capacity as long as possible. In early 2021, I accepted the vaccine in an effort to revive my practice but became ill due to complications. I stopped practicing for approximately 3 months, until I could be sure that I was feeling well enough to provide my clients with the services they deserved. In December 2021, I tested positive with the virus and became very ill. I am now practicing through Better Help rather than begin my solo private practice again. I am competent in the use of Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Client-Centered, and Transpersonal therapies. I specifically focus on hypnotherapy, meditation, and inner child support in the Transpersonal therapies. Each of these therapies are used based on the treatment plan which is derived from the problems or concerns that the client defines as their choice for treatment and the goal they wish to reach. In working with couples, the goal is to enhance healing independently and interdependently. I believe that we are attracted to someone who fits like a lock and key with ourselves. This engages our personal issues so that our significant other becomes the rock upon which we break ourselves and then heal through positive communication techniques, compromise and negotiation. I believe that each person is unique and the path for growth of each person can only be determined by themselves, or jointly, for couples. My role in the support of my clients is to lend them my knowledge, feedback and guidance as they grow through the process of the journey. Each client has the right to self-determination and respect and can refuse any treatment suggestion without fear of consequences. I am honored to assist you in your choice of becoming the best version of yourself, and, if appropriate, as a union of two creating a separate identity while maintaining each individually.

I am licensed in Texas with 4 years of professional work experience. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! My experience has provided me with the training and tools needed to uphold the values of the field of Counseling, including honoring the dignity and autonomy of the patients and practicing multicultural humility in my work across a widely heterogeneous population. I was able to work with a diverse population (adults, children, adolescents, and groups) that present with extensive psychosocial barriers to utilizing behavioral healthcare as well as complex clinical diagnoses such as substance use, trauma, depression anxiety, grief, couples, and groups, … etc. Using CBT and other multiple evidence-based treatments such as MI, CPT, ACT, and SFBT, I aim to help individuals reduce their psychological distress in a non-judgmental empathetic environment and in a journey that is based on warmth respect, and flexibility that facilitate their ability to benefit from treatment. I use Carl Rogers analogy as a guide to my rapport with clients: "one thing I have come to look upon as almost universal is that when a person realizes he has been deeply heard, there is a moistness in his eyes I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, Thank God somebody heard me. Someone knows what it’s like to be me
