Mindset Therapy : Mental Health Treatment for a Digital World





Welcome to my blog, which highlights the services of Mindset Therapy, PLLC, headquartered in Houston, Texas.  My name is Dr. Emily Mayfield and I am licensed psychologist working to bring mental health treatment to your front door, or any other place most convenient for you.  Mindset Therapy provides mental health services throughout the state of Texas by removing the obstacle of driving to a therapist’s office.  Through the services of Mindset Therapy, you can use your computer, laptop, smart phone, or tablet to engage in regularly scheduled appointments with your therapist.  As a psychologist, I am trained in a variety of treatment protocols for various mental health conditions which can assist you in becoming a better you in a short period of time with dedication to the treatment process. 


Mindset Therapy was started with convenience in mind. We live in a busy world with new tasks popping up each day.  Few people are looking to add to their already busy schedule.  As a result, focusing on your mental health is often not a top priority.   However, with more and more responsibilities and less time to fit it all in, we become stressed and less productive. This stress can lead to anxiety, depression, or even suicidal thoughts if not addressed or treated.  Mindset Therapy has appointment times ranging from 30 minutes to 50 minutes to allow you to find the appointment that works best for you.  Additionally, all appointments can be scheduled online at your convenience.  When it is time for your appointment, you call in via video teleconferencing and your session will be conducted from the location of your choice. Using video teleconferencing, obstacles such as travel time to/from your appointment are removed; appointments can be held during your lunch break or when the kids are asleep/at school, and the stigma of being seen parked at a therapist’s office is removed. 

I look forward to assisting you in learning ways to manage the stressors of life through services provided by Mindset Therapy.  Mental health services in Texas has become more convenient to access!  Continue to return to my blog to learn more about mental health symptoms, treatment, and the benefits to you.

Cognitive Behavioral therapy in Texas


 

Mindset Therapy is the future of mental health treatment; leading the telepsychology revolution with execution of mental health services where you are.  Using the technology of the internet on your preferred device, Mindset Therapy is for people who value their time or have barriers preventing them from seeking traditional mental health treatment.  Regardless of your location, you can access quality mental health service with a licensed psychologist via video teleconferencing.  Through video teleconferencing, you are in the room virtually with your provider, while in the comfort of your home or office.  Cognitive behavioral therapy in Texas has never been more convenient.  

Even with the service being conducted via video-teleconferencing, evidence-based treatments are utilized, just as they would be in traditional therapy appointments. Evidence-based treatments provide targeted treatment for your symptoms and have demonstrated long-term benefits.  In addition to video teleconferencing, your provider will also discuss with you the possibility and appropriateness of adding in app-based programs on your phone that allow for further improvements between sessions.  App-based therapy programs allow for self-monitoring of symptoms between appointments.  This allows for your appointments to be focused on what happened during the week, without you needing to remember, and allows for a greater opportunity of targeted change.



Mental health treatment is sought for a variety of conditions and symptoms.   Although therapy is often received once symptoms are more severe, prevention and early targeting are key to maintaining effective functioning in your life.  Some of the most common mental health symptoms encountered are those of anxiety and depression. Symptoms of anxiety and depression run on a continuum and can range from slightly problematic to debilitating.  

Stress is a normal part of life and creates motivation to get tasks done, however, stress can become overwhelming and start to prevent us from completing tasks.  Ongoing, untreated stress can lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression.  Common initial symptoms of anxiety include feeling restless and tense, difficulty concentrating, trouble sleeping, difficulty controlling worry, and avoiding things that increase your anxiety.  When left untreated, your anxiety begins to run your life and your daily activities are dictated by what your anxiety can manage.  

Early symptoms of depression can also appear to be small changes in your behavior and mood, and include sadness, loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, over or under eating, feeling worthless, and irritability. While changes in mood and behavior are a normal part of life, the changes should be predictable and in line with stressors in your life.  Just as with anxiety, untreated depression can start to take over your functioning and limit your activities.  
Impact of mental health symptoms can be insidious, and slowly creep into your life without you noticing. Early detection and treatment are key. At Mindset Therapy, we open doors to quality, convenient mental health treatment beyond the borders of your community; and stand out with services provided by a full-time licensed psychologist through face-to-face contact using the latest technology.  Barriers such as travel time to appointments, availability of quality providers in your community, and difficulty arranging time away from your family or job, all prevent people from receiving necessary treatment.  We exist for you; your time and your goals to make you the best possible you, all from the convenience of your home or office.  

Through Mindset Therapy, which provides cognitive behavioral therapy in Texas, you can regain control in your life and live it as you intend.   Visit https://www.mindsettherapyonline.com "OR" Mindset Therapy PLLC to learn more about this new service, and for further contact information.
