Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

Biography: Dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma or grief can be difficult, as overwhelming emotions often make even simple tasks seem insurmountable. Identifying and naming emotions can be a struggle, causing the feeling of being lost and unsure of how to navigate experiences effectively. Conversely, overwhelming feelings can cloud judgment, making simple tasks seem impossible and prompting impulsive reactions when emotions are unregulated. Relationship issues can be incredibly challenging, and can lead to feelings of loneliness and hopelessness. Addiction can lead to feelings of being trapped between the desire for relief and the consequences of choices, making it difficult to break free and reclaim control. Any of these issues can create a heavy burden that affects every aspect of life, making it difficult to find hope and clarity.

Biography: Counselor, licensed in State of Texas: University of Texas-Austin Pacifica Graduate Institute-Santa Barbara, CA Workshop facilitator Agency setting for seven years Private Practice Depth Psychotherapy/Formal Dream Analysis EFT Tapping for releasing trauma/depressive states Helping introverts to be themselves in our hyper-extroverted world including working with the HSP (the highly-sensitive person) Artists, writers, fears, & allowing the self to emerge in the initial creative process without judgment Assisting those who are returning from spiritual retreat Hello to everyone! I'm a licensed counselor in Texas with 30 years in the areas of identification of core values, self-esteem/knowing what really matters in your life, consistently making real decisions, not pseudo ones, brief therapy, family organization in the home, resilience training, issues of identity/ anxiety and relationships/marriages. In the area of relationships/marriages, for example, so many people cannot come to any decision as to whether to go or stay. They look at pros and cons and sometimes these come out rather evenly. One question which you might ask, however, is a diagnostic one, not one where you tally up a score: do you spend more time thinking of getting out of the relationship rather than just relating. If you are spending more time thinking of getting out, than actually relating, you might want to take that seriously. Another diagnostic question concerns your core values. Does this other person/partner really reflect and agree with your core values going forward or is a great part of the relationship experienced as ambivalent? Ambivalence is one of the major sources of unhappy marriages. And your life needs to be based on good decisions. I utilize Jungian Depth Psychology as well as current Solution-based approaches, and when applicable, Dream Amplification. Many people find their dreams a source of guidance and a legitimate tool, especially with the help of a trained therapist, during crises, arriving at crossroads, and illness, separations and break-ups. Everyone dreams in 90 minute cycles through the night (although drugs can interrupt these cycles) and understanding the real guidance offered is one of the primary tools for trusting the self. While I am very interested in the source of a person's suffering, I look at what the person is doing now, at the present moment, which keeps the old, outdated responses in place. I will try many things to help a client and, at some point, I do expect some change to occur, even if reflected in just a small, but pivotal step Change can sometimes happen remarkably quickly; other times it takes awhile, and patience is required. Most of us would agree that standing at that" fork in the road" too long can bring more depression and confusion than was bargained for. I would like to help you create the freedom which comes from carefully listening to yourself, reframing your feelings and styles of reacting, then taking the steps which feel comfortable to you to get you to a place of well-being and confidence. It always makes a difference to have a non-judgmental and patient person on your side, until you can be non-judgmental and patient with yourself. From Dr. C.G. Jung: "My own understanding is the sole treasure I possess, and the greatest." Take care, Robin Campbell, L.P.C/Depth Psychotherapist

Biography: I am a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with over 11 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. Through my private practice and contract work I have worked with a diverse population of clients with a wide range of issues like emotional and physical trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse , and ADHD. I also help individuals in a life situation in which they are looking for deeper meaning and searching for their life's purpose as their current course feels empty and devoid of direction. Most often a significant event (death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job, trauma, etc.) has motivated them to find their life's passion. I experienced this at age 48 and left a highly lucrative but mundane restaurant management position to pursue a career in which I could genuinely help and serve others through counseling therapy. My counseling approach has continued to evolve through the years as my clients (my greatest teachers) have educated me to listen mindfully and tailor my therapeutic plan to their individual needs. I draw from a variety of modalities including cognitive behavioral. client-centered, solution-focused, reality therapy, and energy therapies including the Emotional Freedom Technique. The course of therapy and treatment plan will be customized to your specific and unique needs. I am a strong proponent of meditation and mindfulness and encourage these if the client shows interest. The fact that you are seeking help shows courage and openness and a desire to change in a meaningful and lasting way that can positively revolutionize and enrich your life. I can assure you that you are worthy of such an endeavor. I have never looked back or regretted any changes that I have undertaken since joining the counseling profession and I would be honored to be your therapist and help you transcend your issues! I look forward to assist you on your healing journey! Thank you!
