A place to find renewal, restoration, and transformation.
Riverstone Counseling Center is a place where you can find renewal, restoration, and transformation. Because honestly, life can be hard. Sometimes we need help navigating the ebb and flow of life’s changes. We need an independent voice speaking truth into our lives. Our goal is for you to find help – not just theories and ideas that sound good – but honest help that has been proven trustworthy to withstand the rough waters of life.
Regardless of your struggle - depression, anxiety, marriage issues, anger management, addiction - Riverstone Counseling Center will provide confidential, safe, affordable therapy to assist you in your healing process. Our desire is to guide you to discover the skills necessary to move back into the normal rhythm of life – whatever that may look like for you and/or your family. The counseling practice is conveniently located just west of Interstate 35 on Chisholm Trail in Round Rock, convenient to Pflugerville, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, and surrounding communities.
Renewal
“an instance of resuming an activity or state after an interruption”
Getting started again can be tough. Interruptions happen in everyone’s life – it seems the river dries up at some point no matter what. We want Riverstone Counseling Center to provide you with a map – with directions – on how to resume life after an interruption. That might be a death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, employment change, a new season of life – whatever has you feeling lost or emotionally dry, Riverstone Counseling Center can be a place of renewal.
Restoration
“the action of returning something to a former place or condition”
As licensed therapists, we want to help you begin your journey towards healing and wellness. Regardless of the struggle, we all have things in our past – or present – that keep us from experiencing the abundance in life that God intended. If you or your family are looking to restore relationships to a place of health, Riverstone Counseling Center can partner with you on that journey. You may need couples counseling. It could be family brokenness due to addiction problems, communication issues, anger management concerns. It might be individual concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, loneliness. Regardless of the issue, Riverstone Counseling Center offers private counseling services to help you find restoration.
Transformation
“a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance”
There are times in our lives where the river takes a turn – where the flow of life makes an abrupt change. Sometimes we choose that detour, and other times it is thrust upon us. We want to come alongside as you navigate that change – as you and/or your family discover a new way to do life with joy, peace and satisfaction. Riverstone Counseling Center is a therapy center where you can find transformation.

The Theory Behind the Process
Our private counseling style is rooted in rooted in evidence-based theories, based upon Christian values and principles as ethically appropriate in the psychotherapy setting. The practice is spiritually-based and clinically sound. In other words, we are Christian counselors but you will feel at home in our sessions regardless of the role spirituality plays in your life. Additionally, effective clinical therapy happens when there is a healthy and trusting client/therapist relationship. Thus, a primary goal is to ensure our clients feel heard and understood. Regardless if we are working with a pre-marriage couple, married couple, adult individual, or adolescent we believe private therapy can be highly effective.
If you have been to other therapists, you may discover that we are a bit bolder than some other professional counselors. Frankly, we believe you should leave a session and feel like you have gained something – like you’ve learned something about yourself, others, or the world around you. You won’t always feel better when you leave – but we want you to always feel as though you will be a better individual/couple/family because of every counseling session you spend with us. Remember the goal is to reach your destination, and that rarely happens in a single session (although it can…it just doesn’t happen often).

Insurance
Whether you choose to visit our private counseling practice or another, please consider carefully the fact that insurance companies require mental health professionals to assign a psychiatric diagnosis code that becomes part of your permanent health record. There are risks involved, including denial of future employment, military entrance, life insurance, etc. Additionally, if your insurance is provided by an employer, they may be informed of your participation in therapy treatment - which is a technical breach of confidentiality. Many opt not to utilize insurance for these reasons and others, so please consider your decision carefully.
Having said that, our private counseling is covered by insurance assuming your plan pays for out-of-network service. We can provide you with the appropriate documentation to turn in to your insurance provider for reimbursement as an out-of-network provider should you choose to do so. Most plans provide this coverage after you have met a stated deductible. Please consult your plan to determine benefits, and then visit with your therapist. Many times we may be able to provide a quality number of counseling sessions for a rate similar to your deductible amount.
