Facing anxiety, depression, or panic attacks can be incredibly challenging, affecting various aspects of your life. These conditions often stem from difficult events or significant life changes. At Randel Porter Therapy, we provide advanced therapy designed to help you manage and overcome these challenges, guiding you toward a fulfilling and balanced life.

Why do we experience Anxiety, Depression, and Panic Attacks?

Anxiety, depression, and panic attacks can arise from various factors, including:

  • Genetics: A genetic predisposition to mental health disorders.
  • Brain Chemistry: Neurotransmitter imbalances.
  • Life Events: Experiences such as trauma, chronic stress, and major life transitions.
  • Personality Traits: Certain personality types may be more susceptible.

Signs You Are Suffering from Anxiety and Depression

Identifying the signs of anxiety and depression is crucial for seeking timely help. Common symptoms include:

  • Emotional Symptoms: Persistent sadness, excessive worry, feelings of hopelessness, and mood swings.
  • Physical Symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances.
  • Behavioral Symptoms: Withdrawal from social activities, changes in appetite, and avoidance of certain situations.
  • Cognitive Symptoms: Difficulty concentrating, racing thoughts, and indecisiveness.

The Difficulty of Dealing with Anxiety Alone

Managing anxiety and depression without professional help can be incredibly difficult. These conditions often create a cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors:

  • Isolation: You may withdraw from loved ones, leading to loneliness and isolation.
  • Physical Health: Chronic anxiety and depression can result in physical health issues such as heart disease and a weakened immune system.
  • Productivity: Your ability to work or study may be compromised, affecting your overall quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Depression Therapy, Panic & Anxiety Treatment in Nixon, Texas

I utilize a cutting-edge, neuroscience-based approach intended to pinpoint and resolve difficult problems quickly, easily, and automatically. My 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 clients even 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 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 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 clients 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.
