PTSD Recovery Workbook for Teens
I wrote this workbook for teens working through Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. If you're an adult with PTSD and appreciate direct explanations and creative ways to process, this could be for you, too! You'll find information, tools, and exercises to help you understand what you're experiencing and heal.
Other Therapist Databases and Programs
There are many reasons you may need to continue your search for a therapist. Maybe you need someone in network with your insurance, or who specializes in something different than I do. Maybe I am not currently available and you would like to start sessions soon. Or, you might know me personally. Whatever the reason, here are some great therapist databases where you can search for and find clinicians who match your needs:
- TherapyDen
- Mental Health Match
- re:Mind - Free support groups in Houston for those affected by depression or bipolar disorders.
- Meghan Castillo Family Therapy - Currently looking for couples and family clients at sliding scale rates. Email [email protected], call or text 301-200-2461.
- Taking Charge of Borderline Personality Disorder by Dr. Daniel Fox - Dr. Fox is a BPD specialist. His self-pace course offers compassionate insight and steps for managing and overcoming the challenges of BPD. I am not affiliated with Dr. Fox and do not receive anything from purchases of his course; I just really appreciate his work.
