Stephanie Yonkers, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Stephanie!

I am very passionate about helping people, no matter what age they are! I like to make the environment of the therapy process feel like it is super safe and comfortable. The importance to me in my therapeutic approach is to make you feel as if you are not talking to a stranger about your life.

My focus

I work with children, teens, and adults navigating life's challenges. I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, helping you feel understood, supported, and empowered on your journey toward well-being.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify and change negative thinking patterns that cause distress, empowering you to create lasting positive change.

My communication style

I'm bilingual in Spanish and English. In our work together, you'll learn to shift from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset and discover new ways to express yourself. I believe growth happens both in and outside of sessions, creating balance in all aspects of your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to help people in meaningful ways. I realized early on that people felt comfortable confiding in me, which led me to counseling. I love meeting different people and find it incredibly rewarding to support their growth.

My goals for you

My focus is helping you develop tools and insights that create real change. We'll work together to build skills you can use beyond our sessions, empowering you to reach your goals and live a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll create a comfortable space where you can share openly, and we'll begin exploring how we can work together toward your goals.
