My Background

After finishing my graduate studies in 1991 I was awarded a Fellowship in Clinical Social Work in the Department of Psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine. I successfully completed the Fellowship in 1994 and was given a faculty position with BCM. In 1994 I developed the Eating Disorders Program for Baylor Psychiatry Clinic and directed this program for eight years until leaving BCM to open my private practice. After leaving BCM I maintained a voluntary faculty position in which capacity I trained clinicians and taught medical students for the Department of Psychiatry. In 2000 I completed the Postgraduate Study in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with the Center for Psychoanalytic Studies. Regarded as an expert in eating disorders treatment, I am involved in various leadership positions in the mental health community and am a certified clinical supervisor for the Texas State Board of Social Work. I have given numerous presentations for professional workshops, public and private schools, local universities and community groups, and have been a guest on television and radio shows to help educate individuals about eating disorder recovery.

Meet Marti, The Therapy Dog

Services Offered

Psychotherapy begins with an initial evaluation to better understand your presenting needs. We will work together to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that is uniquely suited to your strengths and needs. Although treatment can vary, sessions are typically held for 45 minutes on a weekly basis until symptoms are adequately resolved. I network with many psychiatrists, medical doctors, inpatient and intensive outpatient programs and will provide you with appropriate referrals when needed.

Psychotherapy

Individual, couples, and family therapy for adolescents and adults for all aspects of mental health and personal growth issues, including depression, mood disorders, anxiety, family and couples conflict, eating disorders, addictions, self-esteem and identity issues, sexual and physical abuse recovery, spiritual growth, trauma recovery, and grief counseling.

Group Psychotherapy

Ongoing process groups and recovery groups where individuals can learn more about themselves, improve their interpersonal relationships, and change dysfunctional behaviors in an environment of honest, supportive relationships. Group psychotherapy is proven to be a highly effective and often more affordable therapy option.

Supervision and Consultation

Individual and group supervision for social work licensure and consultation for clinicians in a theoretically grounded, non-judgmental environment designed to foster clinicians’ professional growth and confidence.

Although not a provider for insurance, I am often covered under out of network benefits and can provide statements to submit to insurance. I am also able to accept HSA payments.

Payment is due at the time of service. I accept the following forms of payment.

Have questions?

My goal as a psychotherapist is to create a safe, confidential environment where clients successfully:

Get relief from painful emotional symptoms including depression and anxiety
Prevent the past from interfering with the present
Understand thoughts, feelings and behaviors that don’t make sense
Change lifelong coping patterns that aren’t working

Stop self-destructive behaviors
Create healthier, more satisfying relationships
Unlock creative potential
Become more productive at work and in life

How long and how many times a week is a typical session?

Sessions are usually 45 minutes. Most clients are seen once or twice a week in the beginning, then, as time goes on, less frequently. The number of sessions depends on what your current needs are.

How long will I be in counseling?

The length of time a client is in counseling depends the nature of the problem and the goals of the counseling. Some clients have a very specific problem that can be worked through in a set course of counseling. For others, counseling is an on-going learning process and they choose to receive counseling for a longer period.

What if I want couples counseling, but my partner won’t come?

Unfortunately, sometimes one partner is not as willing as the other to come in for counseling. However, it is often possible to improve the relationship with just one person involved in counseling.

Do I need to take medications?

As a psychotherapist, I am not legally allowed to prescribe medications. However, based on a joint assessment of problems you are facing, it may be advisable to consult with a psychiatrist to determine whether medication is warranted. Typically, clients see someone under their health insurance coverage or I can refer you to a psychiatrist.

A creative, compassionate environment of growth and healing.
