Are you struggling with persistent feelings of sadness, overwhelming anxiety, or sudden panic attacks? At Randel Porter Therapy, we understand how these conditions can disrupt your life and well-being. Our specialized counseling services are designed to help you regain control, find relief, and improve your mental health.

What Is Depression, Panic, and Anxiety?

Depression, panic, and anxiety are common mental health conditions that can severely impact your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.

  • Depression: Often characterized by persistent sadness, lack of interest in activities, fatigue, and feelings of hopelessness, depression can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming.
  • Panic Attacks: Sudden and intense episodes of fear or discomfort, panic attacks can cause symptoms like heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and a feeling of losing control.
  • Anxiety: This includes a wide range of symptoms, such as excessive worry, restlessness, tension, and physical symptoms like sweating and trembling.

These conditions manifest in various ways and often co-occur, making it crucial to seek professional help to manage and alleviate symptoms effectively.

Reason Why People Need Counseling

People seek counseling for depression, panic, and anxiety for numerous reasons, including:

  • Unmanageable Symptoms: When symptoms become overwhelming and interfere with daily life, professional help can provide relief and strategies for coping.
  • Life Changes: Major life events such as losing a loved one, job changes, or relationship issues can trigger or exacerbate these conditions.
  • Chronic Stress: Prolonged exposure to stress without adequate coping mechanisms can lead to anxiety and depression.
  • Trauma: Past traumatic experiences can leave lasting impacts, resulting in persistent anxiety or panic attacks.

Counseling provides a safe space to explore these issues, develop coping strategies, and work towards a healthier mental state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Depression Therapy, Panic & Anxiety Treatment in Bulverde, Texas

I utilize a cutting-edge, neuroscience-based approach intended to pinpoint and resolve difficult problems quickly, easily, and automatically. My Bulverde clients are often astounded at the shifts and changes we can make in just a first session. This approach works equally well for anxiety treatment, depression therapy, PTSD and trauma treatment, and couples and marriage counseling.

I work with adults (18 and up), couples (married or not, opposite sex or same sex), families, and groups.

I do full 1 hour sessions. Depending on the issue to be resolved, a 1.5 to 2 hour session may be suggested. Many of my Bulverde clients request 1.5 hour or 2 hour sessions just to get more accomplished. You will see how we work at our first session and can then choose the length of subsequent sessions. Couples sessions always benefit from being at least 1.5 hours.

Our sessions are $300/hour. 1 – 2 sessions with me can easily replace months (or years) of traditional therapy. I have received scores of comments from Bulverde clients about the efficiency and ease of transformation they obtained.

Perhaps the best one: “I felt more of an improvement after even the initial 20-minute consultation with you then I did from all the therapists I’ve seen over the previous 20 years!”

No, I am not in-network with any insurance companies. However, there is one possible alternative if you would like to use your insurance: check with your provider to see if your coverage includes Out of Network (OON) benefits for mental health visits. If you have OON coverage, you would pay for the service at the time of your appointment, then I will provide you with a SuperBill which you will send to your provider to seek reimbursement directly from them.

Note: There is only ONE way to ensure that all topics and issues we discuss in a session stay 100% confidential and only between you and I, and that is self-pay with no insurance, which is the framework I use.

Please be advised when using insurance:

  1. all insurance companies require a mental disorder diagnosis
  2. they may request a copy of our session notes”
  3. they may decline your request for reimbursement
  4. they may dictate the number of sessions and the length of the sessions
  5. anyone who comes in contact with your personal health information in the chain of insurance processing has access to it; the exact opposite of confidentiality.

A mental disorder diagnosis will become a part of your permanent health record. It can work against you when attempting to get certain insurances, apply for certain licenses, or in your military or business career, as anyone who has a “legitimate” reason to access the medical database can view your records.

For these reasons, I have decided not to accept health insurance directly.

Yes! I see clients in Bulverde and throughout all of Texas via teletherapy. Due to the way I work, video (and phone) sessions are every bit as effective as in-person sessions. Additionally, many people find them preferable due to ease of scheduling (no travel time) or where they are physically located.

Confidentiality is a large part of what makes counseling successful. For many people, it is the only safe, non-judgmental, and confidential place where they can feel completely at ease to talk about absolutely anything. Nothing that we talk about nor any identifying characteristics of you will ever be discussed outside of our meetings.

The consultation is a great way for me to learn what you’ve been experiencing so I can then know how I can be of benefit for you. If you are initially hesitant to reach out to a stranger for counseling, it is also a way for you to get more comfortable and familiar with me before we do a session.

I serve Bulverde clients for Depression Therapy, Panic & Anxiety Treatment on weekdays from 10 am – 6 pm. Other days and times are available by request with additional cost.

Please call, text, or email. If I am in session, please leave a message and I will return your phone call, text, or email the same day. If you are contacting me for an appointment, please let me know of a few days and times that would work for you.
