I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and have worked with clients on many different types of issues. I specialize in grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and women's issues, but also regularly see clients dealing with OCD, depression, anxiety, career issues, and relationship and family issues since these issues often go together.
My style of therapy is mostly person-centered, meaning I am focused on authenticity and warmth, validating your concerns, emotions, and perspective, and making sure you feel heard. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you change faulty thinking and beliefs that may be holding you back from healing or from being your best self.
Counseling can be hard and painful, especially at first, but I am here to support you as you go through this process. I think of counseling like this: when you skin your knee you clean it out with soap and water so it won't get infected. It really hurts at first! But after it's cleaned out, it can heal properly. That's what you do in counseling. You clean out emotional wounds, which can be painful, so that you can heal without infection, and go forward with the enjoyment of living life. I'm here to encourage you, challenge you, and cheer you on as you tackle what's bothering you.
I look forward to working with you.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder

I love Ms. Chalmers! She talks to me like a person and doesn't delve outside of the topic too much unless she feels necessary. Like if something relates and she puts the idea out there and if i want to talk about it i can. I like that about her. Definitely worth my time. I like having the free access
