These last 45 days have been some of the hardest and most healing times I’ve ever had arriving to lone star I was terrified ! Simply because getting treatment is a big deal I wasn’t sure of the company or community I would be throwing myself into but wow was it the best decision I’ve ever made. To begin the staff and nurses/psychiatrist were some of the most genuine people I’ve ever met it’s very rare you go to a mental health facility where the employees gentility care for the health of the clients and care deeply for their job. The employees themselves have been hands down the best part of this stay! They’ve allowed me to authentically express who I am while comforting me in ways that allowed me to be vulnerable with my faults which is such a big deal when it comes to healing! Secondly the facility itself is very nice and always clean and provided some of the best meals I’ve had thanks to the chef! The company’s leaders Jenifer and Brandon were the most open minded and helpful people ever they consistently listened to the clients and cared deeply about our input and ways the facility could be better! There was never a complaint of mine that went ignored which I am extremely grateful towards. If you’re having second thoughts on coming to lone star let me be the first to tell you JUST DO IT! This was by far the best treatment I’ve ever gotten and will hold this place very dearly to my heart ! Lone star became a home away from home and I will never forget the great hospitality and kindness lone star has provided me! They give you all the tools you need to be successful it’s just up to you to actually do the work! If I weren’t healed I’d happily do this treatment again but after just 1 stay I know I am ready to take on the world so to that I say thank you lonestar

She really cares about her job and genuinely wants the best for her clients. Paige, Reagan, Trey, and Bree are the best techs u could possibly have! They love and care about the clients here and they have made me a better person for not only myself but my family. Bess is a great case manager but also an amazing human being. I love this place so much and I highly recommend Lonestar! If u need help come here PLEASE.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the team at Lonestar Mental Health. From the moment my son was admitted, I knew he was in a place where people genuinely cared about his well-being and recovery. A special thank you goes to Bess. She has been absolutely amazing throughout this entire journey. She consistently kept me informed about everything that was happening with my son, including updates on his medications, treatment progress, and overall well-being. Her communication, compassion, and professionalism gave me tremendous peace of mind during a very difficult time. The entire staff has been exceptional. They treated my son with kindness, respect, patience, and encouragement. They provided a variety of activities and therapeutic opportunities that helped him develop coping skills, build confidence, improve his mental health, and engage positively with others. It was wonderful to see him participating in activities that supported both his emotional growth and recovery. The team worked diligently to help my son reach the next level in his treatment and recovery journey. Their dedication, support, and commitment to his success made all the difference. They truly went above and beyond to ensure he had the tools and resources needed to move forward. As a parent, finding a facility that genuinely cares can be overwhelming, but I was so excited and grateful when I found Lonestar Mental Health. They exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend this program to any family looking for compassionate, professional, and effective mental health care for their loved one. Thank you, Bess, and thank you to the entire staff for the incredible work you do every day. You have made a lasting impact on my son’s life and on our family. ❤️

Cannot express how much they helped my son during his stay there. He was valued from the moment we entered to the time he was discharged, and thereafter. The help he received is invaluable and I could see the difference. Highly recommend.

Just left the facility. I had a great experience. Nursing staff was on point, i tried giving them hell and they just showed me nothing but love and support. Techs were all super cool and understanding, through every step of the way. Therapists were really good and it was super beneficial, and case manager was on point from start to finish. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to go seeking professional help in a safe and homestyle environment. Chef was also amazing, great food everyday. Thank you (cussing was involved with my healing, and the occasional slur. They handled it very well. De escelation of high intensity situations were also on point, by all staff)

I had a relative who was admitted to this facility. I was very uncertain of how this was going to help her immediate mental episode. As soon as she entered, she was taken care of in such a personal and professional manner. They were all very compassionate and respectful to her and her mental state. I am extremely grateful !

Individual Therapy Benefits

When you consider seeking individual psychotherapy and compare this treatment to others, here is a list of personal counseling advantages you should bear in mind:

Flexibility of Treatment

Instead of insisting on a certain strategy or technique to cope with a mental disorder, even if the method does not work, a therapist will adapt to the needs of the patient, providing them with a variety of options to recover.

Confidentiality

Many people do not open up to their family and friends when struggling with a mental issue because they are scared of judgment - you can explore sensitive topics with a therapist and be sure everything said in the office of a mental health professional stays between you two.

Fresh Perspective

If you tried to work through your problems on your own and tried different means to heal, you may not have considered a different point of view and approach. A therapist will give their objective opinion and call out thought patterns and behaviors that may have harmed you in the past.

Treatment of a Variety of Issues

No matter the disorder or emotional challenge you are coping with, a therapist will implement a holistic approach to figure out if there are any underlying issues it is necessary to address, as well as try to treat several disorders simultaneously before the symptoms become more severe.

Learning Coping Skills

A therapist with years of experience will teach you coping mechanisms that often replace medication and allow a patient to embark on a mental health journey with self-care techniques in their arsenal.

Aftercare Plan for Long-Term Success

Most individuals attend a few private therapy sessions or have appointments with a therapist for a few years during a tough time in their lives. It is crucial to encourage the patient to know how to lead a fulfilling life long after the therapy is over, and this is where a therapist can advise you best.

Why Choose Lonestar Mental Health?

High Level of Expertise

For many years our therapists have been practising solo therapy that helped numerous patients to build a better future for themselves – our experience speaks for itself, and our clients can trust us.

Structured Treatment

While there is certain value in an occasional therapy appointment and implementation of relaxation techniques to manage a mental health disorder on your own, it is a smart idea to adhere to a specific routine and stick to a timeline to ensure higher odds of recovery.

Personalized Approach

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment that suits every patient without an exception – we will carry out a thorough assessment of each client and learn what techniques and practices should be incorporated into their treatment instead of offering the same treatment to every individual who seeks our help.

Patient-Centered Care

While individual counseling services imply a patient will talk to a counselor one-on-one, it is important to find out the additional ways to assist a person in need – a therapist will focus on the needs of their client and provide them with a referral to a group counseling or suggest family therapy if there is a strong suspicion these types of therapy yield better results.

Start Your Mental Health Journey at Lonestar Mental Health

Now that you know more about one-to-one counseling and the benefits of undergoing therapy at Lonestar Mental Health, do not delay the start of your mental wellness journey – step on the path to healing, recovery, and management of harmful symptoms of any emotional issue that does not let you live your life the way you deserve.
