Child and adolescent therapy focuses on helping young people cope with emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges in a supportive and safe environment. Counselors work with children and teens to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflicts, and social difficulties, using age-appropriate techniques. The goal is to provide tools for emotional regulation, improve coping skills, and foster healthier relationships, all while supporting the child’s development and well-being.
Adult therapy provides support for individuals facing emotional, behavioral, or psychological challenges. It addresses concerns such as depression, stress, relationship issues, trauma, or life transitions. Therapists use various approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and talk therapy, to help individuals develop coping skills, manage emotions, and improve mental health. The goal is to promote self-awareness, emotional well-being, and healthier relationships, empowering adults to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience.
Family therapy is designed to help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the family unit. While family therapy can be beneficial, we prefer to start by seeing clients for individual sessions first. This allows the counselor to build trust, understand the client's concerns, and address personal challenges. Once the counselor feels the client is ready, family therapy is incorporated to work on family dynamics, foster understanding, and create healthier interactions. This approach ensures that the client feels supported and prepared for the collaborative process of family therapy.
Online therapy is a convenient and accessible form of mental health support that allows individuals to connect with licensed therapists via video calls, phone sessions, or text-based communication. This service is offered by KM Counseling Services, providing flexible, private, and comfortable sessions from the safety of your own home. However, it is important to note that clients must be located in Texas at the time of their appointment to receive online therapy services. This option eliminates geographical barriers within the state, making it easier for individuals to access care when they need it most.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals of all ages identify and change negative thought patterns that affect emotions and behavior. By learning to reframe these thoughts, individuals can improve emotional regulation and make positive behavioral changes. For children, CBT uses play and visuals, while adults engage in more structured exercises. CBT is effective in managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges, promoting lasting positive change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that helps adolescents and adults manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal skills, and reduce harmful behaviors. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies, teaching individuals how to balance emotional regulation with acceptance of themselves and their circumstances. DBT focuses on skills like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, helping individuals cope with challenges in a healthier, more balanced way.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help adults process and heal from trauma and distressing experiences. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing individuals to integrate these experiences in a healthier way. This therapy is particularly effective for those dealing with PTSD, anxiety, or trauma-related issues, helping them to reduce distress and move forward with greater emotional resilience.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults, heal from the effects of trauma. TF-CBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive interventions to help individuals process traumatic experiences, manage distressing emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies. It involves both individual sessions and, when appropriate, family involvement, making it adaptable for various age groups. The goal is to help individuals reduce trauma-related symptoms and build resilience, promoting emotional healing and well-being.
Play therapy and sand tray therapy are effective therapeutic approaches for children, allowing them to express themselves in a natural and non-threatening way. Play therapy uses toys, games, and creative activities to help children communicate their thoughts and emotions, especially when they have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. Sand tray therapy, a form of play therapy, involves creating scenes in a sandbox with miniature figures, which helps children explore and process their feelings, fears, and experiences. Both methods provide a safe space for children to work through challenges, build emotional resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for suicide prevention is a focused approach designed for individuals ages 14 and up who are experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors. This therapy helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and despair. Through structured sessions, clients learn to develop healthier coping mechanisms, problem-solving skills, and ways to reframe their thinking, which can reduce suicidal ideation and improve emotional well-being. The goal of CBT for suicide prevention is to empower individuals with the tools to manage their emotions, build resilience, and create a safer, more supportive mindset.
