West Houston Counseling

Use creative play therapy techniques with children to help them work through emotional issues.

Creative play therapy is a great way to help children work through emotional issues. By using techniques such as make-believe, storytelling, and art, children can express their feelings and work through difficult situations.

One of the benefits of creative play therapy is that it allows children to be in control of the situation. They can play out different scenarios and explore different options, which can help them to feel more empowered and capable. Additionally, creative play therapy can help children to develop coping skills and problem-solving abilities.

If you think your child could benefit from creative play therapy, please contact a licensed therapist for more information.

If you're a parent, you may be wondering if creative play therapy is a good option for your child. If you're a therapist, you may be wondering if creative play therapy is a good way to help children. Creative play therapy is a great option for both children and parents!

What makes LENS different from other forms of neurofeedback?

What makes LENS different from other forms of neurofeedback?  

# data[].attributes.body
Each client’s EEG signals are unique to them and constantly changing.  The LENS measures these ever-changing signals of the client and matches the feedback to the client’s own physiological (neurological) fingerprint.
Unlike LENS sessions, traditional neurofeedback sessions (1) require conscious effort and attention to stimuli by the client, (2) sessions last 45-60 minutes each, and (3) results are typically attained over 40 or more sessions.  On the other hand, LENS does not require any focused attention, and the person does not need to do anything specific during the session.  The sessions themselves last between a few seconds and a few minutes. https://www.westhoustoncounseling.com/therapy-areas/lens-neurofeedback/

Teen Counseling - West Houston Counseling Center

# data[].attributes.body
Counseling services for teenagers are important for their emotional health and well-being.

At our counseling center, we provide support and guidance for teenagers as they transition into adulthood. Our therapists are experienced in working with adolescents, and they will help your child learn how to cope with the challenges of growing up.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The teen years offer significant challenges for children and parents alike.  Children are faced with increasing social and academic demands while facing tough choices and greater responsibilities.  Raging hormones and strained relationships do not make it any easier!  As a result, parents often feel frustrated and exhausted trying to help their child reach his or her full potential.  Many times, the parent/child relationship becomes marked by fighting and power struggles. Therefore, parents and teens facing difficulty may find teen counseling effective and helpful.  Finding a teen counselor specifically trained and experienced working with adolescents frequently provides the greatest benefit.

Counseling often helps teens work through unresolved issues, make better choices, and better cope with their environment.  Frequently, children resist counseling or resent being told to attend.  Therefore, this is why West Houston Counseling Center offers trained therapists and therapy rooms tailored to meet the specific interests and needs of teens while providing a wide variety of activities, materials, and interactive gadgets to engage teens in the counseling process.  Your therapist will use the latest in therapeutic tools, research, and theory such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, attachment theory, Brain-based work, and play therapy to work with your child.  Your therapist will provide a detailed treatment plan and updates throughout the process to keep you informed.

Parent Involvement in Teen Counseling

Teen counseling requires parental involvement to provide the greatest benefit.  Your teen counselor will work with you to transfer her skill set into usable tools for you to implement at home.  Additionally, parents can have the single greatest impact in their child’s life. As such, our teen therapists create a team environment working with parents and children to create positive and long-lasting solutions from counseling.  Some of the skills parents can expect to learn from their teen counselor include stress reduction, relationship building, and ending power struggles.  Often, parents find they want to continue with individual or family counseling which enriches the process for the child as well.

Counseling is a process that aims to eliminate one's worries and pains through dialogue with a counsellor. Counseling is often vaguely thought of as "talking to a counselor," but what about the actual content and system?

Originally in English, counseling means "consultation / advice".

West Houston Counseling center offers trauma counseling for patients of all ages. All of our counselors are highly trained in trauma counseling and some have special certifications in the field including EMDR. Trauma causes severe emotional distress often accompanied by difficulties in functioning and even physical symptoms. Trauma can take many shapes and cause clinical disorders such as acute stress disorder (ASD) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or in milder forms may show up as generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder.

Lasting trauma may stem from any number of traumatic life events including:

* Life-threatening incidents, such as natural disasters, air or auto accidents, or falls
* Violent crime, such as assault or rape
* War-time experiences
* Physical abuse
* Verbal abuse
* Sexual abuse
* Loss of a loved one through death or separation
* Severe humiliation
* Discovery of a life-threatening or disabling illness

Often, trauma leaves emotional scars even where physical ones may not exist. Symptoms may not present immediately after an event and could surface weeks, months, or years after the event.

Some of the symptoms of traumatic stress that may benefit from trauma counseling are:
* Lack of energy
* Change in eating habits
* Sleep disturbances
* Sexual dysfunction
* Chronic, unexplained pain
* Anxiety
* Fearfulness
* Panic attacks
* Hopelessness
* Inability to concentrate
* Memory loss
* Difficulty making decisions
* Compulsive and obsessive behaviors
* Irritability and hostility
* Emotional numbness
* Overreactions, including sudden outbursts of anger
* Hyper-vigilance and jumpiness
* Social withdrawal
* Substance abuse
* Violent behavior
* Suicidal thoughts
* Re-experiencing the trauma with intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or nightmares

We highly recommend the book, The Body Keeps the Score, by Bessel Van Der Kolk for all of our clients

In recent years, the word “adult developmental disability” has been picked up by the media and is attracting attention. Although the number of specialized counseling institutions for “child developmental disabilities” is increasing little by little, the number of institutions that provide specialized counseling for “adult developmental disabilities” is still small.

Our center provides professional counseling for “adult developmental disabilities”

Why do developmental disabilities become a problem after becoming an adult?

People with developmental disabilities grow up with an imbalance in brain development. Therefore, it often becomes a problem when you are a child, but by having a certain level of intellectual ability, you may cover the imbalance and become an adult without being aware of the problem.

However, when you get a job as an adult, the required work and relationships become more complicated than before, and you can’t handle it, and problems arise.

There are few medical institutions that can handle “adult developmental disabilities,” and even if you can see a medical institution that can handle it, it is very crowded. As a result, I was not able to receive treatment for a sufficient amount of time, and I was able to receive a diagnosis, but there are many people who continue to be stuck because they do not know what to do after that.

In “adult developmental disabilities“, it is indispensable not only to receive a diagnosis but also to deepen self-understanding about “I have a developmental disability”. In counseling, you can take some time to deepen your self-understanding, so it is also effective to use both outpatient clinic and counseling.

If you have already been to the hospital, please consult with your doctor about counseling before applying.

People with “adult developmental disabilities” often have trouble at work. For example, you may make unthinkable mistakes, you may not be able to talk well with the other person at the counter, leading to complaints, or you may not understand the implicit rules in the workplace (read the air). (No), I sometimes fail because I can’t understand the meaning of the work requested by my boss.

These troubles arise from not being able to respond well to what is required in the workplace. Therefore, we must think about how to connect “self-understanding” to workplace adaptation.

Counseling while making connections

People with “adult developmental disabilities” often have troubles because they cannot blend in well with their group, and they are isolated without knowing who and how to ask for help.

To find the therapist that fits your needs best, please contact the best counseling center.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There is nothing more tiring and difficult than the pain of the heart. When you are in pain and struggling, you should seek out a counselor.

Adult Counseling is a one-on-one meeting between a counselor and a client to share psychological pain, solve problems, and grow one's self.

In modern society, many people suffer emotionally due to individualism, dehumanization, and human alienation.

In this kind of life, we sometimes feel alienated, lonely, or lonely as if there is no one around us.

And when you feel these feelings, you often think negatively about yourself or feel that your life is meaningless.

Adult psychological counseling is necessary to find the cause of anxiety about oneself, fear of the future, and confusion caused by it.

An adult's problem as an individual as a member of the family can become a problem for the whole family.

It is important to come to the counseling room with your family when you are struggling and suffering from various psychological factors in the course of your life, but changing your personal situation through counseling can also be a starting point to open happiness for the entire family. .

Adult psychological counseling allows you to create a new life for yourself through the process of one-on-one face-to-face counseling with a professional psychological counselor about all your worries, hard parts, and psychological problems you are experiencing as an individual living in society. .
Expected Effects of Adult Psychological Counseling
For adults who are experiencing various psychological difficulties, we provide face-to-face counseling with professional psychological counselors to help them heal and reflect on problem factors and open up a happier world.
Adult psychological counseling sessions
1. Adult psychological counseling is different for each case.

2. However, it is recommended that you do at least 12 sessions.

(It may improve rapidly in a short period of time, but for a stable counseling effect, it is recommended to proceed for more than 12 sessions.)

Studies have found that people who have experienced more traumatic experiences in childhood have a higher chance of developing not only psychologically related anxiety disorders, depression, suicidal tendencies, etc., but also many cardiovascular, hypertension, cancer and other physiological aspects in adulthood. disease. So maybe we should be focusing on childhood trauma. How does childhood trauma affect us physically and mentally?

Children who experience childhood trauma experience will immediately affect the brain. Children’s brain functions are still developing. When faced with stressful events in life, they cannot have much organizational thinking, so the more mature almonds in the brain when stressful events occur. The nucleus jumped out to take over.

Evaluation and Description of the First Consultation

First of all, during the first consultation, you will be asked to describe the troubles you have encountered and the details of the troubles. It may include past experience, growth background, family profile, etc., so that I can provide a psychological counselling framework through the content of the dialogue process, so that you can use this framework to re-understand what happened to yourself.

The first consultation will explain how the follow-up will be carried out. It will explain how to deal with the troubles caused by you next. It includes 5 major aspects. The purpose of these 5 major aspects is to increase psychological resilience and reduce the influence of troubles.

Increase self-awareness: Thoughts generate feelings, and feelings lead to corresponding behaviors, such as turning on the automatic navigation system. Habits will make our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors more blurred. Therefore, increasing self-awareness will make us .We reconnect with this automated pattern and gain a deeper understanding of how we respond. At such a stage, some people can make changes. In childhood, because the brain organization and thinking ability have not yet developed, and now understand the past self with the vision of an adult, a new understanding will be generated.

Get rid of entangled thoughts: Some people cannot make changes by increasing their perception and awareness, and they will be stuck in a situation of “knowing but not doing it”. At this time, they will discuss the stuck place; the key is often “idea”, which is called For “tangled thoughts”, such thoughts will block our line of sight, so that we can only see the old way. Through practice, such thoughts can be loosened and the influence of tangled thoughts will be reduced.

Live in the moment: When our automatic mode occurs, it seems to return to the past when we were children, or worry about whether a similar situation will happen in the future, which makes us not in the “now”. Through the experience and practice of mindfulness, you can bring yourself back to the present moment, and relatively reduce the influence of stressful events on you.

A more diverse self: When we face stressful events, we have an automatic coping mode, which means that we also have a predetermined view of ourselves, and such a predetermined view is often harmful. Through the aforementioned processes, we can See yourself from a different perspective.

Smooth progress toward the goal of life: Often we want to go east, but what we do is to go west; this is all caused by a fixed and rigid response pattern, which is often the source of pain. As our influence diminishes, we can go where we want to go.

What we are now is the accumulation of the past years, and what troubles us now may be related to the past. Sometimes we try to let ourselves go, instead of being alone, let a psychologist accompany you through this period. You benefited from the help of Trauma Counseling, which helped me get rid of some difficulties caused by past experiences.

As parents, we all want our children to be happy. In particular, we want our teenagers to prepare for a harmonious and enriching adult life. Here are some tips and principles for our youth. It’s up to you to judge whether they are relevant for your teenagers.

Be open to change. Nothing is permanent. Change is inevitable. So welcome it as an opportunity to be seized.

Broaden your horizons. Meeting new people and new cultures.

Make new experiences and get out of your comfort zone from time to time.

Don’t be afraid to fail. The biggest mistake would be to do nothing. Failure can be a springboard that will propel you much further.

Be flexible, because how you react to events is often more important than the events themselves.

Appreciate what you have. Learn to recognize the value of the good things in your life, no matter how small.

Invest in yourself. If it is well oriented, your development will be beneficial for you and for the people around you.

Take care of your body. Health is necessary to achieve your dreams.

Make informed decisions. Some of your decisions will shape your future.

Be honest and honest. But don’t let anyone take advantage of you.

Develop good habits. So you can behave well with much less effort thanks to the automatic repetition of beneficial habits.

Stay in touch with nature. She is a great source of inspiration.

Maintain balance in your pursuit of happiness. Keep in mind that material success is not a guarantee of happiness.

Surround yourself with good people. Choose your friends wisely, choose quality over number.

Pay attention to what you say. Precious relationships have been destroyed by a few too many words.

Be positive. You cannot succeed without having confidence in your future.

See it in others. You will be happier looking more at the qualities rather than the faults of people.

Avoid unnecessary disagreements and conflicts. You’ll save yourself a lot of trouble that way.

Become excellent in at least one activity or subject. Avoid spreading yourself too thin.

Develop your critical thinking. Thus, you will be safe from the influence of ideas and movements that are harmful to you.

Accept what you cannot change. Acceptance does not imply resignation. It is rather a question of welcoming immutable situations so as to better adapt to them.

Use every difficulty to walk. Thus they will become for you the foundation of a higher level of understanding.

Get involved in a volunteer organization. For example, donate your time to a charity that helps people in need.

Make the world a better place because you lived in it. Keep in mind that you don’t have to achieve great things to change the world, you just have to become a better person.

Conclusion:
Teen counseling requires parental association to give the best advantage. Your adolescent advisor will work with you to move her range of abilities into usable apparatuses for you to carry out at home. Furthermore, guardians can have the single most noteworthy effect in their kid’s life. In that capacity, our youngster specialists establish a group climate working with guardians and kids to make positive and durable arrangements from guiding. A portion of the abilities guardians can hope to gain from their high schooler guide incorporate pressure decrease, relationship building, and finishing fights for control. Frequently, guardians find they need to go on with individual or family directing which advances the interaction for the kid too.

We are not preparing our children for today’s world, because some or all of it will have disappeared during their adult life. Rather, we need to cultivate their adaptive and creative abilities. So no matter the world of tomorrow, they will have to adapt to it and create their happiness.

What is Child Psychological Counseling?

Psychological counseling is a kind of evaluation of the ins and outs of your troubles through the professional knowledge of a psychologist, and discussing and guiding thinking about the troubles and cases, just like sorting a bunch of wool, and slowly untying the knotted lines.

Adults are usually more able to express their difficulties in words, so psychological counseling is mostly verbal. However, in children and adolescents, sometimes it is difficult for them to express the difficulties they encounter or the feelings they experience, only subconsciously. Manifestation of physical and mental symptoms.

Therefore, children's counseling will start from cognitive and behavioral models, and use non-verbal tools such as games, painting, brain wave measurement, and physiological feedback to understand and analyze the reasons behind children's behavior.

Attention-deficit daily performance behaviors, including:

Easily distracted by environmental distractions

Often dazed, dazed

Difficulty maintaining concentration for extended periods of time

Life is forgotten, even if it is a routine, it is still difficult to implement it

Often overlooked details, carelessness (skips in reading, missed exam questions, etc.)

Frequent avoidance of effortful tasks (such as homework)

Difficulty organizing and keeping activities on schedule (poor time management, difficulty prioritizing things, etc.)

Common reasons for children's psychological counseling

When a child gets angry, screams, beats, loses control of his emotions, or always loves to contradict adults, moves to and fro, and can't calm down, what we need to think about is: is he really intentional, or is it a function of his brain? Got a little problem developing?

Most parents subconsciously think that the child is dissatisfied and deliberately resist, so they feel about the need for parent-child relationship counseling, but they only focus on simple behavior correction, and it is easy to ignore the possible reasons behind the child's behavior.

At this time, if you try to find out the reason for the child's natural resistance through the professional guidance of psychology through psychological counseling, or use appropriate measurement tools, such as psychological assessment, brain wave feedback test, etc., you can better measure the child's condition and find out The reason behind the abnormal behavior.

So what should I do when faced with the above situation?

In children under 6 years of age, because the brain is still developing, it is recommended to prioritize the need for early intervention.

After the age of 6, in addition to making good use of school resources (special education system)), it is still recommended to continue to receive interpersonal interaction, emotional adaptation training, and attentional brain wave training.

The role of psychotherapy in child development

In addition to evaluation, it is more important to arrange a suitable treatment plan for the child, taking advantage of the plasticity of the child's brain nerves. It is recommended to take the child receive professional treatment as soon as possible, which will help the child's future development and adaptation.

How can psychologists help children? Let's talk about the effects and functions of children's psychological counseling!

Child psychological counseling is mainly responsible for dealing with children's cognition, emotions, and social interaction, led by child clinical psychologists trained in professional child development psychology.

Cognition → thinking, understanding, learning, maintaining concentration

Emotion → Emotional reaction, easy to cry, lose your temper, easy to cry, nervous and withdraw

Social → Interpersonal Interaction, Interpersonal Situation Recognition, Empathy The children who most often receive child counseling classes may have these conditions:

Inattention, hyperactivity, autism, Asperger's, poor impulse control, interpersonal problems, poor mood, and developmental delay.

Children with autism often:

show a strong preference for certain things

Inflexible stubbornness

Emotions sometimes ebb and flow like a roller coaster

Improper handling of interpersonal boundaries

No sense of humor, inappropriate reactions

Lack of social interaction

Difficulty in verbal communication

These symptoms often confuse parents, embarrass each other, and often make this group of children have difficulty adjusting to school and life.

In the treatment, counselors often use a variety of materials that children are interested in and build relationships with children through games to feel the fun of interacting with others. Help children learn to observe situations, show appropriate behaviors, improve their ability to express, and practice emotional regulation in good relationship quality. .

In mild and moderate TBI, clarity, concentration/focus, memory, multi-tasking and energy can significantly and quickly improve.
ADD/ADHD:
LENS decreases impulsivity, distractibility and hyperactivity. The world becomes easier to navigate. Life becomes less of a struggle for the patient and parent.
Substance Abuse:
Because LENS is so effective at treating anxiety, depression and poor impulse control, it can be tremendously helpful for people withdrawing from, and working at staying away from, addictive substances.
Autism, Asperger's, OCD, Hair Pulling, Eating Disorders:
Again, because LENS is so effective at treating anxiety, depression and poor impulse control, there is often dramatic improvement in a variety of disorders where these symptoms are present.

What makes LENS different from other forms of neurofeedback?

Each client's EEG signals are unique to them and constantly changing. The LENS measures these ever-changing signals of the client and matches the feedback to the client's own physiological (neurological) fingerprint.
Unlike LENS sessions, traditional neurofeedback sessions (1) require conscious effort and attention to stimuli by the client, (2) sessions last 45-60 minutes each, and (3) results are typically attained over 40 or more sessions. On the other hand, LENS does not require any focused attention, and the person does not need to do anything specific during the session. The sessions themselves last between a few seconds and a few minutes. Initial results are typically seen in 1-4 sessions, with the average number of sessions per client of 11. This makes LENS an excellent option for all individuals, including those who are unable to attend for lengthy periods of time and/or who are unable to understand instructions.
