Who We Are
OUR Counseling Practice
We treat a number of mental health disorders and substance abuse. We provide a neutral ground to individuals, families, and couples. You can find the office located in central Marble Falls, Texas. We trust you will find our location as a place to feel safe and relaxing.

How Can Counseling Help?
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Medical diagnoses, Caregiver Stress, & Grief/loss
Often times new medical conditions can cause stress or anxiety for both the patient and their family. Sometimes taking on the role of a caregiver for a spouse or parent can cause issues when the roles in the relationship change. The death of a loved one can sometimes impact us in ways that we do not understand. We can often find ourselves feeling alone, depressed, anxious and feeling as there is no where to turn. Counseling can help guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Relationships
Relationship issues stem from many different factors in our life. Counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship. Sandra has experience in working with civilian and military/veteran families.
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse therapists evaluate and treat people struggling with addictions to alcohol or other drugs. They may also provide family members with the opportunity to practice support strategies learned during family therapy. We have clinicians available to help you during your healing process.

Additional Trainings and Information
- Sandra and Ali are trained Brainspotting practitioners.
Brainspotting (BSP) can help decrease depression, anxiety, phobias and addictions. Brainspotting is used with all areas of trauma, including survivors of war, natural disasters and abuse. It is also being utilized with medical conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries, strokes, fibromyalgia, headaches, other pain issues, and preparation and recovery from surgery.
It is possible to release trauma from either a distressed or calm place in the body. The power of BSP is that one does not necessarily have to relive the traumatic event at the same level of intensity as the original trauma. Because of this, it is possible to resolve the trauma in a more contained manner. Trauma and stress can often overwhelm the nervous system.
With the support of the therapist, BSP helps the client discharge the trauma and calm the nervous system. Here is an informational video: https://vimeo.com/187493121
We would love to talk with you if you have any questions or are interested in working through some of the above mentioned issues.
- Sandra is also skilled in working with those impacted by cancer. In collaboration with The Flatwater Foundation, Sandra is able to provide therapy to patients with cancer and their family.
- Sandra also has a heart for working with veteran families. She has founded and runs Operation Exfil ( operationexfil.com ) to help veteran families with PTSD. She invites you to take a look and refer a family that might benefit from some of their services.
