Becca challenged us to be better versions of ourselves, think about things from different viewpoints, and provided objective areas of improvement for both of us.

I saw Mary for EMDR. She is amazing and has made all the difference after realizing I still had…read moreheavy baggage from childhood trauma. She never judged me, criticized me or gave bossy advice like other therapists have. She listened closely, asked meaningful questions and talked to me like an equal. She let me cry; she let me vent. She felt like a true friend after six months of seeing her. I highly recommend SACS for anyone seeking counseling. Don't be afraid - everyone there is so welcoming. Whatever you need - a hug, a hot cup of tea, a blanket, a place to feel safe, an emergency last-minute session or talk ... they will do their best to make it happen. I will always appreciate Mary and this business for giving me a new life that is not dominated by trauma or emotional upheaval. Change is possible and making an appointment is the first step.

Here's a story: We…read morelive in Buda. My kids are Black. This is not a good mix. Buda is racist. Don't try to deny it; it is what it is. It's a quaint little community and I feel safe there, for the most part. My son was playing football with the crazy neighbor's kid. My son is super skinny, tall and bony. Crazy neighbor's kid caught the ball. Son went to tackle him and his nose hit my son's shoulder blade. A bloody nose is the result. Crazy neighbor calls police and ambulance. Says her family is in eminent danger from my son; that he has attacked her son and her son is now laying bleeding and helpless from the attack. NINE COP CARS show up. My son (may I add here that my son has Asperger's Syndrome) then watches the woman who keeps him after school thrown to the ground and kicked by Buda police as she is trying to protect him and tell the police that he has disabilities, his mother is on the phone and could he (the officer) please speak to me and inform me of what is going on. My son is then told "come here boy" (uhmm white cop/black kid... not ok to say "come here, boy") and cuffed. He is in tears. My twin girls, 14, are in tears, screaming at the police "PLEASE! My brother has muscular disorders and has special needs! PLEASE STOP" The twins are told to shut up or they'll be arrested, too. My son is rescued by the deputy Sheriff from Dahlstrom who hears what is going on over the radio, rushes to the apartments and informs the officers there of his knowledge of crazy neighbor and her antics. NOW, an hour into this, the police began talking to the kids who had also been playing ball to ask them what has happened. My son is taken out of cuffs. Crazy neighbor lady then proceeds to tell my son (and anyone else who will give her time to speak) that he is an animal and does not deserve to be in public school over the next few weeks. She tells my son she is going to "get him" anytime she sees him out. A couple of weeks later, crazy neighbor lady tries to break in to my apartment. My children are home and terrified This time, I call cops. My kids had nightmares for months. My son was afraid that he was "bad" and that he was going to be taken away from us. My daughters had nightmares that crazy neighbor broke in to the house and stabbed my son in the chest several times. I tell you all of this to say this: My son no longer has nightmares. He no longer thinks he is "bad" and he is back to his free spirited, happy kiddo self. There are no more tears in the middle of the night from him after awakening, screaming out in fear. He is finally going outside to play again and being social with kids. My daughters aren't afraid anymore. There are no more bad dreams about crazy neighbor lady. I was overwhelmed and knew that mommy kisses and "it's going to be ok" weren't working. I asked around and Tammie Martin came HIGHLY recommended to me by many trusted people in the Buda area. Tammie Martin worked her gentle, loving, soft as clouds speaking, magic. The twins love her and can't say enough wonderful things about her. My son thinks she hung the moon and says he feels good about having her to talk with. We now are dealing with teen angst; a whole other beast! Tammie is also awesome with that. Tammie is amazing. She's a great listener. She is soft spoken and kind. She is an encouraging person. She has made our lives so much better. We have been in for family and individual counseling and I cannot recommend her any higher. I am so glad we were referred to her; she is truly a miracle worker. P.S. FYI - Crazy neighbor lady has moved as of last month and we were very relieved, to say the least.

I came to see her initially because of a specific issue I was trying to work through and have continued to see her because she makes my life so much better. I feel lighter after I see her and more equipped to handle difficult situations. She is never judgmental and we have covered a range of life topics from career to marriage to family planning. She is so attentive and thoughtful with her advice and what I appreciate most is how focussed she is on gradual solutions to achieve your goal. It never feels like she is asking me infinite questions with no direction - it is a genuine conversation with real feedback and applicable advice. She is also available via text - which I appreciate - and can be flexible to get you in for an appointment at a convenient time. There is parking in front of her office and she has never once been even a minute late. Go see her!

Erika changed my life by helping me to identify my self limiting belief that is causing my issues, where it stemmed from, and how to mindfully change my habits and my life. Every hill that I encounter she helps me over it with grace. She is dynamic and willing to intuitively cater the session to exactly what I need; sometimes it's advice, sometimes it's meditation, sometimes we just get caught up in a healing conversation. She is warm, emphatic, honest, and what she does is unique. I have never felt like I have walked away with so many practical tools before, I can hear her voice in my head when I am about to repeat a negative pattern. She is someone you want in your support system for a mindful life.

Working with the psychologists at Deep Eddy has helped me become happy and confident in who I am…read more For the last 7 months, I've been seeing Dr. Charlotte Howard for individual and Dr. Jev Sikes for group therapy. I'd never heard of group therapy outside of a rehab setting, but the combination of individual attention and working with others in a group has made it easier for me to recognize how my own reactions are received in others. Going to Deep Eddy feels so indulgent because I am taking the time solely for working on myself. However, the time I spend here has improved my outlook, my self image, my attitude, and every single relationship in my life. I highly recommend Charlotte or Jev (or anyone they recommend) to those who are ready to spend time and attention on themselves.

I reached out to Deep Eddy to schedule a appointment with a PA or NP of psychiatry for medication…read moremanagement because I was finishing up a 12 week program at Meadows outpatient Center. I really only needed them to manage 4 medications (lithium, Quetiapine, lamotrigine and propranolol) no controlled substances. The dosages were already figured out. All the work had already been done for them. I also listed a bunch of other PRNs that I had tried while in treatment that i wasn't currently taking. Again no controlled substances, they were trazadone, gabapentin, hydroxyzine. I've been a RN for over 12 years, I was the supervisor on the first acute care floor in central tx to take on covid. The first wave really did a number on me that caused a lot of my PTSD. Anyway, what im trying to say is I tell people when they haven't been honest with me, to avoid being resentful toward them. When I tried to set up this appointment to see a PA for medication management I was denied because I was too "high acuity." What happened before that was me giving Christopher Keener some honest feedback on his response time. They wouldn't confirm the appointment until they had a credit card on file. Before I could put my husband's credit card on file I had to fill out a release of information form. Which made me feel like a criminal that had to prove my innocence. Credit card information has nothing to do with HIPAA. I have never heard or been asked to do this before. I was told I would be called as soon as it was in. I did it right away, waited, emailed to see if he received it, waited a little longer, tried to access my portal to enter the card but it hadn't been set up, I called back got someone different they said they sent him a message and he would be calling back in 20mins, it never happened that day. I wanted to get it done because I was finishing up treatment the next day and wouldn't have my phone on me. They would only hold the spot for 24hrs and i was worried I'd loose it. No attempt was made to reach out to me for clarification, no doc to doc was requested. Just a refusal. The corespondance is copied and pasted below. Notice the times. I gave him some honest feedback about response time at 11:46 and the refusal was sent at 11:52. I think somebody(Christopher Keener) may have got in their feelings and did this passive aggressive lash out. I'm really surprised that a therapist(Christopher keener) could have such thin skin. I love his its not you its me response. "Please know this isn't a reflection on you in any way; it's simply about making sure you receive the support that's best suited to your situation."

So Tuesdays was mentioned by Bonnie at a specific time and I said wonderful! That works. She walked me out and brought in her next appointment. I left. Tuesday (today), I show up 15 minutes before our scheduled time... handled some business on my phone while I waited. 20 minutes later, I sent her text to remind her I was waiting in the lobby for her and one, didn't recognize my number (ok, I am newer patient) two said "Your appointment is Thursday @ Time. I am home doing virtual today". I texted back, "We changed it because I am traveling on Thursday" I then texted "So you are not here? I am not happy. I am leaving". She texted "I am only in office on T & TH so I am never there on Wednesdays. I am sorry for the miscommunication and I certainly understand why you are upset". I texted back "I was in your office today, TUESDAY. I am not happy. I can not do Thursdays. I stated that, we agreed Tuesdays.... Today is Tuesday not Wednesday " She then went on about she would try to open up Tuesdays, etc. I just don't feel confident in her abilities to LISTEN and take down details about my sessions.
