Soft dawn light across a plaster wall — Deep Growth Counseling, Argyle, TX

It feels like you’ve lost yourself.

When something feels off inside, it can be hard to be yourself. It can seem like you don’t have access to your strengths, your spark—what makes you YOU. From the outside, there may seem to be no reason to feel the way you do. But you can’t help it.

This can bleed into everything—your relationships, work, school, parenting, interests… your life.

You feel disconnected or isolated in your social interactions, even with those who are close to you. You’re too distracted or down at work or school, knowing you’re not living your potential. You feel like you’re missing out on experiencing life the way others seem to—because the way you feel won’t allow you to.

You’ve tried what you can, and advice doesn’t help.

Friends and family may have given you advice—it might have even sounded good. But they don’t seem to understand what you’re experiencing, or why their advice doesn’t help. Part of you keeps thinking there must be a way for this to get better. You just haven’t found it yet, and some days you’re more hopeful than others.

And maybe a part of you wonders whether therapy is really the answer—whether it’s “just talking,” or why you’d tell a stranger your most painful, embarrassing experiences at all.

Lasting change starts beneath the surface…

The right therapist can help you make sense of it all.

Working with a therapist is different from talking to a friend. Their role is to understand how you experience the world from the inside, and then work with you to resolve what’s holding you back—not to hand you empty advice about how you should think or feel.

Putting words to feelings genuinely helps. But effective therapy is more than open-ended talk: you and your therapist keep a clear focus and track your progress and roadblocks together along the way.

At Deep Growth Counseling, we’re not after temporary results from surface-level interventions. We’re after deep growth that is lasting and meaningful—therapy that helps you understand yourself more deeply and build inner resources that keep fostering your flourishing well after you’re ready to leave.

Meet Chris May, LPC

B.A. in Psychology, University of Texas at Austin · M.Psy, University of Dallas

I work with people who are having difficulty experiencing fulfillment and meaning in their lives. This can come about in many ways—a loss or change in important relationships, losing something that had been a source of meaning, shifting roles and responsibilities, or uncertainty about the path toward a future you value.
