Healing for your past. Hope for your future. Life in the present tense.
Life can get tense sometimes. Let’s talk about it.
Counseling for the complicated, painful, and deeply human parts of life.
You may be carrying something from the past, struggling with where you are now, or facing a future that looks different from the one you expected. Maybe you know exactly what is wrong. Or maybe you just know that something isn't working anymore.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. That's part of what therapy is for.
Located in Lufkin, Texas, just a short drive from Nacogdoches and SFASU. Offering local in-person services, as well as secure telehealth throughout Texas and Florida.
You’re ready for healing and hope. We’re ready to help.
At Present Tense Therapy, we offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling and we work with children, adolescents, and adults. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, parenthood, grief, stress, or major life transitions, we’re here to help. Our work is collaborative and individualized because good therapy isn't about fitting you into a formula. It's about understanding who you are, what you've lived through, and what you need now. How can we help you?
