There's something good about walking into that same room, same chair, same person who gets it. A lot of our clients tell us their weekly session became a part of their routine they actually look forward to, not just something on the calendar. That's what happens when you're matched with the right therapist: it stops feeling like an appointment and starts feeling like your time. 🤝

If you haven't found that fit yet, we'd love to help you get there. Give us a call at 903-872-4442 or visit prtaftandassociates.com.

Happy 6 year work anniversary to one of our favorite people, Alyssa Reyes! 🎉

As our Operations Manager, Alyssa is the steady hand behind so much of what makes this practice run smoothly, from scheduling to billing to referrals, and she handles it all with a smile that makes everyone feel welcome the moment they walk in.

Six years, and she still greets every question and every person with the same warmth she started with. We are endlessly grateful for her dedication to our team and to the people we serve.

Happy anniversary, Alyssa! 💜

We're excited to connect our clients with Campfire Creek Therapeutic Riding Center, offering equine therapy for children, teens, and adults. Through certified instructors, trained therapy horses, and a supportive, accessible environment, each rider receives personalized care built around their own abilities and goals. 🐎

Therapeutic riding can help build confidence, independence, mobility, and connection in ways that complement the work we do together in session.

College life looks different for everyone. Late nights in the library, papers piling up, moments with friends in between classes, and eventually walking across that stage. Somewhere in all of it, it's easy to forget that how you're feeling matters just as much as what you're accomplishing.

You don't have to be in crisis to reach out for support, and you don't have to compare your pace to anyone else's. Asking for help along the way is part of taking care of yourself, not a last resort.

If you're a student looking for someone to talk to, we're here, in person or online, whichever fits your schedule better. Give us a call at 903-872-4442.

Back to school means back to early alarms, new schedules, and a lot to juggle all at once. It's easy for students to put their own wellbeing last when the to do list keeps growing. 📝

Small habits make a real difference: a consistent bedtime, a few minutes to unwind, staying connected to friends. None of it has to be perfect, it just has to be consistent.

And if the stress starts to feel like more than the usual adjustment, support is always available. Reaching out is a strength, not a setback.

Happy 2 year work anniversary to our very own Lisa Wing! 🎉

Lisa is often the very first person our clients talk to, and there is a reason so many of them say they felt cared for from that first phone call. She brings warmth and patience to every conversation, and she has a way of letting people know that they matter before they even walk through the door.

We are so grateful to work alongside her every day. Lisa, thank you for two years of showing up for our clients and for our team. We appreciate you more than you know. 💜
