Therapy and Counseling Services Local to Flower Mound Texas

We all need safe places to unload heavy burdens…and sometimes we need more. The complex inner workings of mind, soul, and spirit can sometimes call for skill that moves beyond the care of a friend or family member. At Primacy Counseling, we help the mind release neural pathways stuck in destructive patterns through effective and proven neurological techniques. Where pain or grief has bound the soul, we offer guidance to pathways of restoration with skill and gentle care. The third aspect, spirit, is how Primacy derives its name. We believe that ultimate healing is dependent upon the renewal of the spirit in relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The primacy of spiritual healing is foundational to all that we do.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Healing

Primacy tailors each care plan to each client’s particular needs. We use proven, research-backed and evidence-based methods such as EMDR, FLASH technique, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma resolution. Effective treatment modalities paired with skilled, experienced, and caring clinicians facilitate an accelerated rate of healing where life hurts the most.

Faith-based counseling options provide clients with a deeper healing process and allow for an exploration of beliefs and experiences related to the client’s own faith and spirituality. Therapeutic technique and clinical skill work harmoniously with biblical truth in finding areas of our lives where we need a deeper understanding and application of God’s great love toward us.

Marriage therapy offers couples the gold standard for marital counseling, the Gottman method. Couples will discover new paths for healing the broken places and forging greater depth in love and connection with each other.

No two individuals are alike, and the same is true in counseling methods for reaching individual goals. Each client comes with whole worlds of experience and challenges that are unique to the individual. Primacy counselors have dedicated their lives to finding the technique and treatment modality that is right for each person coming through our door, and all within the safety of genuine care.

Our Counseling Services

At Primacy Counseling, we provide a variety of services tailored to each person's specific needs.

Trauma Counseling

Trauma is a life-altering experience that requires care and treatment modalities specific to trauma resolution in order to heal and move forward. The definition of trauma is also unique to each individual. In addition to what we call “Big T Trauma” there are a myriad of experiences in life that leave their mark on the psyche, causing us to stay stuck in a loop of painful memories, destructive habits, or self-sabotaging patterns of thought and behavior.  

One of the most effective methods for moving through these “stuck experiences” is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This treatment modality identifies key markers in the trauma scape of the mind and rapidly processes through them by tapping into the natural lateral movements of the eye that happen during a normal REM cycle. Clients will experience formerly triggering memories begin to rapidly fade on the screen of their minds and eventually receding to the ordinary landscape of everyday memories.

FLASH

FLASH technique also uses movement of the eyes, but in a different pattern. FLASH can serve as an adjunct to EMDR or stand alone as a tool for processing traumatic memory without the client needing to engage with the distressing material.

ART

ART: Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) uses imagery to help resolve negative body sensations associated with stuck emotions and images. This allows for quicker resolutions to issues than typical talk therapy.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions tailored to your specific needs allows clients to focus on the most pressing issues that are causing pain or blocking success in life and relationships. Sessions are paced according to the client’s timetable for healing with  methods appropriated to each situation presented.

Women’s Issues Counseling

Stress, self esteem, anxiety, and life transitions are just some of the challenges facing women today in all walks of life. Emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health challenges unique to women can be explored and addressed in a safe and supportive environment.

Men’s Issues Counseling

Understanding and addressing how mental health manifests in men is foundational to providing strategies for handling life’s challenges. Exploring emotional and spiritual roots of destructive habits or stuck patterns of behavior provide clarity for the path forward.

PTSD Treatment

Anyone who has suffered the debilitating symptoms of PTSD knows that simply talking about trauma does not heal it. Evidence-based practices specific to trauma resolution such as EMDR. FLASH Technique and ART bring the pieces of healing together to bring calm restoration to the chaos and renewed stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions. But, some of the most common items are listed below.

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR is a clinical tool used to treat trauma that remains unresolved and therefore contributing to continual symptoms that affect emotional, physical, and spiritual functioning. It’s non-invasive and based on bilateral stimulation which helps to desensitize and reprocess traumas, rendering clients less emotionally reactive to previously held memories.

How Does Faith-Based Counseling Work?

At Primacy Counseling every counselor is a Christian believer. We conduct sessions in a way that Christian clients feel reinforced with regard to their underlying beliefs about the goodness and providence of God in the outworking of difficult life histories and traumas that the enemy can use to distort God’s plan for our lives.

How Long Are Counseling Sessions?

Counseling sessions are typically around 50-55 minutes depending on need and type of therapy.
