PTSD/Trauma Counseling

in Adkins, Texas

…Trauma Counseling, Sexual Abuse Therapy, or Anxiety Disorder Treatment

Have you been told that trauma work is “difficult” and may take “years” to see results? Are existing therapies and medications only dulling your symptoms without addressing the root cause? At Randel Porter Therapy, we offer a unique, quick, gentle, and effective approach to PTSD and Trauma Therapy designed to bring about lasting change.

Effective Trauma Counseling and Sexual Abuse Therapy

Our therapy sessions are structured to ensure you feel comfortable and supported. Here’s what you can expect:

  • No Retelling: You won’t have to relive or recount your traumatic experiences.
  • No Coping Skills Needed: There’s no need to learn or apply coping mechanisms.
  • Minimal Effort Required: You won’t have to “work hard” during our sessions.
  • No Forced Forgiveness: You won’t be required to “let go” or “move on.”
  • Non-Re-traumatizing: Our approach avoids re-experiencing or re-exposing you to your fears.

A Neuroscience-Based Approach to Trauma Therapy

Unlike traditional trauma therapies in Adkins that can be distressing and time-intensive, we use an innovative neuroscience-based method. This approach targets and clears emotional distress at the subconscious level, pinpointing the root causes of your issues. Once identified, these root causes can be cleared and replaced with positive changes. Our sessions typically last 1-3 hours, with most clients reporting significant and lasting results within just 1-3 sessions.

Quick and Lasting Results

  • Single Session Effectiveness: A single 2- to 3-hour session is often sufficient to see significant improvements.
  • Multiple Sessions for Complex Issues: Additional sessions may be needed to resolve traumas with multiple roots.

Understanding Trauma and PTSD

Trauma overwhelms the nervous system, causing the mind to fear events long after they have passed. This fear can attach distressing meanings to past events, making it difficult to move forward. Our therapy sessions aim to clear these meanings, breaking the cycle of triggering feelings. This process helps you to stop experiencing physical or emotional responses to past events, accelerating healing and fostering a sense of empowerment.

Symptoms of Past Trauma

Trauma can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Recurrent and intrusive memories
  • Nightmares and flashbacks
  • Avoidance of certain situations due to fear
  • Intense distress when triggered
  • Depression and negative beliefs about oneself
  • Hypervigilance and feelings of not being safe
  • Self-blame, numbness, detachment, or withdrawal
  • Limited positive emotions and persistent pain or tension
  • Difficulty trusting and feeling misunderstood
  • Attracting unhealthy relationships

Causes of Trauma

These symptoms can often stem from:

  • Sexual and physical abuse
  • Violence and psychological abuse
  • Traumatic childhood experiences
  • Bad breakups and other significant life events

Beneficial for Various Individuals

Our trauma therapy is also highly beneficial for:

  • First responders
  • Active military personnel
  • Veterans

Whether your trauma stems from a single incident or ongoing events like war or repeated abuse, our treatment approach can help you find relief and healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

PTSD Trauma Counseling in Adkins Texas

I utilize a cutting-edge, neuroscience-based approach intended to pinpoint and resolve difficult problems quickly, easily, and automatically. My Adkins 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 Adkins 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 Adkins 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 Adkins 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 Adkins clients for PTSD Trauma Counseling 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.
