Hunter Small, LP — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Hunter!

I strive to help individuals struggling with distressing emotions, unhealthy relationships, uncertainty, and the overwhelming demands of life. I see a wide range of clients, including those suffering from anxiety, depression, low motivation, relationship issues, and trauma.

My focus

I welcome clients into my practice who are struggling with self-criticism, burnout, relationship issues, and past traumas. I specialize in trauma, including early childhood trauma, recent sexual assault, abusive relationship dynamics, and complex PTSD.

My approach

In therapy, I will help you to develop an understanding of how past experiences influence your current struggles. As you learn about yourself and the origin of your suffering, you will become more self-aware, fulfilled, and equipped to make positive changes.

My communication style

I am very direct, warm, and encouraging. I am very no-nonsense and use everyday language in my approach. You will not be guessing what I think; I will let you know with humor, compassion, and full transparency.

My journey to mental healthcare

I trained at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and have extensive experience in private practice (6 years), hospital (2 years), and college counseling (2 years) settings.

My goals for you

Therapy is a powerful tool when there is an ideal fit between client and therapist. We will collaborate towards establishing deeper self-awareness, greater self-acceptance, understanding and control of your emotions, and a more nurturing self-relationship.

Our first session

We will go over the history of your presenting concern and try to help you find relief right away. Some background information is helpful, but our focus will be to establish a foundation for you starting to employ changes in your life and finding results.
