Anxiety, Depression, and Panic Attack counseling in St. Hedwig
… or what I call Happiness Counseling

Anxiety, depression, and panic attacks can have a significant impact on your life, affecting your ability to function daily. While everyone encounters stress, those with anxiety disorders often experience more intense and disabling responses. Without proper treatment, these symptoms can interfere with personal relationships, job performance, and daily activities. At Randel Porter Therapy, we offer specialized treatments to help you manage and overcome these mental health challenges. Our evidence-based methods support your journey to recovery and well-being.

What is Anxiety, Depression, and Panic Attack?

These mental health conditions are prevalent and can manifest in various ways:

  • Anxiety: Characterized by excessive worry, restlessness, and physical symptoms like sweating and trembling, anxiety can disrupt your daily routine and make it hard to concentrate.
  • Depression: This condition involves persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to fatigue, changes in appetite, and sleep disturbances.
  • Panic Attacks: Sudden and intense episodes of fear that cause physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness. These attacks often occur unexpectedly, leaving individuals feeling out of control.

Symptoms of Anxiety

Recognizing the symptoms of anxiety is essential for seeking timely help. Common symptoms include:

  • Emotional Symptoms: Excessive worry, fear, irritability, and feelings of impending doom.
  • Physical Symptoms: Sweating, trembling, headaches, muscle tension, and a racing heart.
  • Behavioral Symptoms: Avoidance of anxiety-triggering situations, difficulty concentrating, and restless behavior.
  • Cognitive Symptoms: Intrusive thoughts, difficulty focusing, and an overwhelming sense of dread.

You Don’t Have to Deal with Anxiety and Depression Alone

Navigating anxiety and depression on your own can be incredibly challenging. These conditions often create a cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors that are difficult to break without professional support. Attempting to manage these mental health challenges alone can lead to:

  • Isolation: Withdrawing from friends and family, resulting in loneliness and isolation.
  • Physical Health Issues: Chronic anxiety and depression can lead to health problems such as heart disease and a weakened immune system.
  • Reduced Quality of Life: Difficulty maintaining relationships, fulfilling job responsibilities, and enjoying daily activities, which diminishes overall quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Depression Therapy, Panic & Anxiety Treatment in St. Hedwig, 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.
