Hello, my name is Teresa Petersen, LCSW, I am EMDR Certified and Consultant in Training

Do you sometimes feel "stuck" in the past, destructive behavior patterns, unhealthy relationships, or in negative self-talk and disturbing believes about yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or betrayed by your mind and/or your body? Feel like you will never reach your goals in life? I want you to know there is hope and together we can change this.

These issues can come from many different situations, such as adverse childhood experiences, trauma, complex loss and grief and more. I have worked with many clients who have overcome similar challenges, who are no longer just surviving, but now fully living and thriving in their lives. Now you're ready for change, but still it takes a lot of courage to initiate a therapeutic relationship. I don't take this for granted. Together we will gently begin your process of healing. I will introduce you to tools to help you recover from the wounds of your past, live in the present and look forward to your future.

My treatment modalities include an integrated approach utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), incorporating trauma informed yoga skills and embodied practices, Ego State, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and other evidenced based solutions to help you reach your goals.

I am an approved Healing Tree provider, a member of the National Association of Social Workers, EMDR International, NAACP and my local Brazoria County Mental Health Task Force. I am passionate about serving others with dignity and respect, while reducing attitudinal barriers and stigma to increase access to mental health services.

Hello and welcome, my name is Veronica Bowler, LCSW-S. I am a licensed clinical social worker and board approved supervisor in the state of Texas. I am also EMDR trained.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted and finding daily life difficult to manage? Are you dealing with a difficult person, or stressed out with family life, relationships, experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression or trauma. I can help and we can work together to find solutions. Taking the first step can be the most difficult and if you are reading this then you have already taken the first step. As a therapist, I understand the struggles you encounter and when you are ready. I am here to begin the journey together.

I utilize an integrative approach with evidence-based models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a treatment method developed and taught by Francine Shapiro. This involves an 8 phase process that has demonstrated positive results with thousands of individuals over the course of nearly three decades. I am excited to work with new people seeking help towards well-being that is transformational and provides positive outcomes.
