Troylyn Teal

I am a native of New Orleans, received my Bachelor of Arts degree from U.N.O and my Master's from the University of St. Thomas in Houston. I'm a retired Texas educator with certifications in elementary education, ESL, special ed, dyslexia intervention and school counselor. I was a military wife for 12 years and helped successfully raise five children. I work with clients from age 10 to adulthood: struggling students, teachers feeling burnout, individuals experiencing anxiety, people having trouble managing daily stress, anyone carrying the weight of overwhelm and those suffering from bereavement.

I counsel from the cognitive behavioral therapy approach, utilize play therapy with children and practice structured problem solving. I believe when you change your thinking, you change your behavior; and when you change your behavior, you change your life. Consider this: when things change inside you, things change around you.

My clients can expect from me privacy, compassion, unconditional acceptance, non-judgmental support, guidance to create specific goals, skills to help them meet those goals, and structure in each therapy session.
