About Our Ministry
Marriage and Family Therapy Services
An array of services tailored to meet the needs of couples and families are available at The Helping Heart Counseling Center including pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, divorce recovery, blended family sessions and family counseling. Sessions typically run from 1 to 2 hours in length on a weekly basis. As a marriage and family therapist, The Helping Heart acknowledges that when one member of a family is hurting it often affects those around that individual. As a result, clients are encouraged to include family members and other supportive individuals in the therapy process.
Marital Intensives are designed for couples that desire a more intimate relationship with their spouse. Unlike traditional therapy that typically consists of weekly one-hour sessions, marital intensives allow couples to experience sessions that are longer in length and incorporate approximately a year's worth of therapy in just a few days. Couples will participate in 2 to 4 private sessions followed by 3-4 days of group process. Private marital intensives are available for couples that desire a personal and customized experience. To inquire about attending a marital intensive please contact Twilla Woolsey at (806) 570-2758 or email Twilla@TwillaWoolsey.com.
Individual Counseling and Play Therapy
Individual therapy sessions are available for children, adolescents, and adults. All therapists at the Helping Heart provide individual therapy sessions.
Play therapy allows children to communicate through active play with toys, a medium that is most comfortable to them. Play therapy gives children the opportunity to use the power of play to make sense of the world around them. It provides a safe environment through which a child can resolve areas of concern and navigate through life transitions. Sessions vary in length from 30-50 minutes and occur on a weekly basis.
Special Needs
The Helping Heart Counseling Center provides social skills training, advocacy, behavioral therapy, family therapy and education, in-home systems support, and referrals to community support. From navigating a recent diagnosis, to helping your child achieve behavioral goals, we are excited for the chance to know and be blessed by your family. Contact Lindsey Wesley at (806) 584-8469

Crisis Trauma Debriefing
Sometimes life gets complicated... an employee dies while on the job, a long time employer dies from a terminal illness, a tragic car accident takes the life of a young person... an unexpected trauma occurs. As an employer, school administrator or pastor times of trauma can be paralyzing for an organization. As a trained EMDR therapist, Twilla Woolsey and our counselors work with a team of counselors to offer support during this traumatic time of need. Services can be offered on location and can include executive consultation, facilitation of trauma debriefing, and follow-up services. Taking care of students and employees during a traumatic event can help individuals grieve their losses while preparing them for life after the trauma.
