Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Friendswood, TX

I am a passionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping preteens, adolescents, and young adults who are grappling with the complexities of mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. My clients are overwhelmed by their emotions, struggling to manage daily responsibilities, relationships, and academic pressures. They may feel sad, hopeless, or experience intense anxiety that interferes with their ability to function and thrive. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to navigate their emotional challenges, learn effective coping strategies and improve overall wellbeing,

With over 10 years of experience as a School Psychologist, I support children’s social, emotional, and academic growth. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I also specialize in stress, anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens, adults, and children ages 7 and older navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel understood and supported. I draw from person-centered therapy, attachment work, mindfulness, and I’m trained in EMDR to help process past experiences. I especially enjoy working with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

My career as a professional Counselor is new. I was forced to leave a 26 year career behind after a fall at work prevented me from being able to that job any longer. Forced to live on disability, I went back to school to earn a degree that led to where I am now.

I feel my life experiences afford me a no-judgement, above-average understanding of people, their experiences, and their behaviors.

I have plenty of life experience dealing with most issues and over 30 years of experience in pastoral and faith based counseling. I am a state licensed therapist with a doctorate in clinical psychology. I have been happily married for 35 years, I have raised 4 children, and I’ve owned various small businesses.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC). I graduated from Lamar University in August 2024 with a master's degree in counseling and development. I earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Houston – Downtown in 2012 with a major in psychology and a minor in sociology. My very first degree was an associate's in Arts from Houston Community College. I have worked in the field for about 12 years.

Hello, I’m Dr Wiesner. I have a PhD in counseling. I was a professor teaching graduate students for seven years. During this time I was the director of a ten room counseling clinic at the university. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor for those new to the field, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I strive to be respectful and care about clients achieving their goals as quickly as possible. I taught diagnoses nine semesters at the university. I have published several research papers in peer reviewed journals and have made 7 presentations at the state and national level. I taught research methods and statistics but what really matters to me aren’t my degrees etc..but wanting you to live a zest filled life.

I have a degree in engineering and a MBA but left engineering to focus on assisting clients find and achieve goals that are important to them. Engineering trained me to think logically and to problem solve with an emphasis on practical issues and being practical. Practical and long lasting results is my focus.

I’m a member of Mensa and have been in the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association. While I have treated a long list of issues my main focus has been working with couples, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and past trauma.

If you choose me I would feel honored to help as best I can. I work with age ranges from six year olds to seniors. I like to say I want difficult and complex cases but you are not a case.

I believe in holistic treatment that addresses both the mind and body, and I’m committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported.
