🌿 Now Welcoming New Clients 🌿

We’re excited to announce that Hannah Verhalen, LPC Associate, is now accepting new clients at Nacogdoches Counseling Services. Supervised by Dr. Amanda Pruit, Hannah brings a grounded, compassionate approach to identity-focused counseling.

Ever find yourself asking Who am I or Why do I feel so scattered? That’s identity work. It’s not just about picking labels. It’s about exploring the deep layers that make up your sense of self: your values, beliefs, relationships, and the roles you play in life. It’s how your past shows up in your present, how culture and family shape your story, and how to make room for all the parts of you that want to be seen.

Hannah creates a space where you can untangle identity conflicts, clarify your direction, and come back into alignment with who you really are. Whether you’re navigating a big life shift or just feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can help you feel more rooted, more real, and more you.

Reduced cost sessions available. Reach out today to schedule.

The holidays can be a particularly tough time for those who are grieving. The festive season often brings memories of lost loved ones to the forefront, making the presence of their absence known. For many, this is a time when joy and sorrow contrast, and the pressure to be cheerful can feel overwhelming.

Grief is a personal journey, and there's no right or wrong way to experience it. But reaching out for support can make a difference, helping you to feel less alone and more understood during this challenging time. Our counselors are here to listen and support you through this holiday season.

Call us at 936-244-5681 or book a free 20-minute consultation on our website, nacogdochescounselingservices.com

Ever heard the word vestigial?
It means a small remnant of something that was once much larger (like a tail for example).

Most of us know how much easier it is to dwell on the bad things than the good things - which is frustrating! Well, a long time ago in human history we needed to really remember what was dangerous or scary, so we could avoid harmful things such as being eaten by a lion or avoid eating poison berries (again 🙄). We are relatively safe now though! But much of the time we just can’t shift our focus from the bad things because that focus is a left-over cognitive imperative from the past; a vestigial focus. The good news though - you can learn how to shift this!
Contact us today for a free 20 minute consult if you need help!
