 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 !

Common Trauma Symptoms

While trauma manifests differently, certain symptoms occur in the majority of cases:

How to Treat Trauma at Lonestar Mental Health?

There are different ways to address trauma and heal from mild and severe manifestations of it – below you may learn about just a few treatment options we provide:

Individual Trauma Counseling

Discuss your worries with a therapist in a confidential setting and figure out what can be done to relieve the symptoms of trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Recognizing and removing negative thought patterns may be the key strategy in trauma recovery – your bad thoughts will be replaced with positive ones for a healthier mindset.

Exposure Therapy

A therapist will offer you to approach memories and feelings related to trauma instead of hiding from it so that you are no longer triggered by harmless things.

Connection With Others

Trauma support does not end in the office of a therapist – we will advise you to join a support group where you can meet your peers who struggle with the same problem.

Self-Care Routines

Breathing exercises, meditation, journaling, aromatherapy, and art therapy will make you a calmer, more creative, and more resilient person.

Permanent Lifestyle Changes

While destructive behavior may give you temporary relief as you are dealing with your trauma, it is recommended to take care of your health, opt for proper nutrition, exercise, connect with nature, and avoid bad habits.

Why Choose Lonestar Mental Health?

Team of Experts

Our therapists have been treating patients with various mental health problems for more than twelve years - you can trust us with any psychological concerns you have.

Personalized Treatment

We do not utilize the same techniques and strategies with all our patients - instead, we are figuring out what will work in every particular case and work towards full trauma recovery.

Flexible Solutions

While we will offer you a specific treatment plan, we will also tailor our approach if the results are not up to par - we are willing to adapt to the needs of every patient and maximize the progress.

Safe Environment

It is hard to find compassion and respect when no one around you can relate to the trauma you have experienced - at our facility, you will be accepted and understood.

Trauma Treatment That Makes a Difference

To feel free and unburdened by bad things that happened in the past, it is important to address unpleasant thoughts and memories you have been dealing with for months and years. If you keep reliving your trauma over and over again or a person you care about requires a trauma intervention, reach out to Lonestar Mental Health and let us pick the right treatment for you or your family member.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Answers To Your Questions.

Get In Touch Now! Get In Touch Now!

What types of therapy are used to treat trauma?

Several therapies are effective for trauma, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET). Trauma-focused therapies are particularly effective.

What is EMDR therapy for trauma?

EMDR therapy involves recalling distressing memories while focusing on external stimuli, such as eye movements. This process helps to reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.

Can medication help in the treatment of trauma?

Medication, such as certain antidepressants (SSRIs and SNRIs), can be used to manage associated symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. However, therapy remains the core treatment for processing the trauma itself.

What is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma?

CPT is a type of cognitive therapy that helps individuals with PTSD challenge and modify unhelpful thoughts and beliefs related to the traumatic event. It helps change how they think about the trauma and its impact on their life.

How long does trauma treatment take?

The duration of trauma treatment varies based on the individual and the severity of the trauma. While some brief therapies exist, it is often an ongoing process. Consistency with a treatment plan is key to long-term healing.
