Hi, I'm Stephanie Yonkers a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I am very passionate about helping people no matter what age they are! I like to make the environment of the therapy process feel like it is super safe and comfortable. The importance to me in my therapeutic approach is to make you feel as if you are not talking to a stranger about your life.
My approach
In my sessions, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT. It is a type of talk therapy that focuses on how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. It helps you identify and change negative thinking patterns and behaviors that may be causing you distress.
My focus
I believe that therapy should be accessible and supportive for everyone, regardless of age. Whether you’re a child, teen, or adult, I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels right for you. No matter your age, I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered on your journey toward well-being.
My communication style
I grew up speaking Spanish and English so if there is anyone needing services in either I am here to help! I grew up really understanding the need to work hard for what you want. My belief is that we also have to work on ourselves outside of therapy to reach our goals. With me, you will learn to change your fixed mindset into a growth mindset. Additionally, learn new ways to express yourself when needed to make your life feel balanced in all aspects!
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always been interested in helping people in some way. As a young child, I remember switching back and forth wondering what I want to be when I grow up. I thought of several things like an Astronaut, Police Officer, and Surgeon. One thing I noticed they all have in common is trying to help in some form. For me, I just wanted to do something that made some sort of difference. I ultimately found the perfect path for me with Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I understood at a young age, that many people felt like they could confide in me. With this trait, I chose my career and I grew to love it so much by all the different people I get to meet along the way! The best part of it is how rewarding it feels to help people grow!
