Maddison Ballard, LPC-Associate
Supervised by Kemberly Edwards, LPC-S
I am a Licensed Professional Counseling Associate providing virtual services across the state of Texas. I am also a Certified School Counselor and I actively work with junior high students.
I first pursued my Bachelor’s degree in Education, specializing in Early Childhood. Upon graduation, I decided to focus on my work with teens and taught high school students in Arlington, Texas. While serving high school students, my passion for impacting youth, educators, and people from all backgrounds inspired me to pursue my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University. After teaching, I began to focus on prevention and education by entering school counseling where I now serve teens.
I have experience working with teenagers and their families in the Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization settings, partnering with families and a team of other mental health professionals to support the child’s wellness. I am also able to use my knowledge of school counseling to support children with diagnoses and their families in navigating coping skills and educational supports that may be available to them.
I currently provide counseling services to people ages 14+ for a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stressors related to parenting and single parenting, Autism Spectrum Disorder, burn out and stress related to working in education. In order to address each client’s specific needs, I use a number of counseling theories such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Person Centered Therapy.
