class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Thank you for reading about our counselors! If you have found this page, you have gathered the courage and strength to ask for help. The process can be a bit overwhelming, but you have done the hardest part: Making the decision to get help! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you are feeling maxed out, anxious, and like you can&#8217;t keep all the balls in the air, then you have come to the right place. You might be here due to family stress, work or school stress, or maybe grief and loss. Regardless, it might sometimes feel too heavy to carry. Even if you can&#8217;t quite put your finger on it, but you know you feel &#8220;off,&#8221; counseling can help you make sense of it all. Getting help is the first step toward feeling like you can manage again (or for the first time). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We will work together to help you improve your skills and abilities to cope with the day-to-day issues that leave you feeling distressed or even impaired. I will also work with you to process and find meaning in the big things you drag around with you from your past. Both the &#8220;now&#8221; and the &#8220;then&#8221; issues are important in the process of healing. I am highly interactive and directive, so you do not have to worry about what to do in counseling. I have that part! You just need to show up and get ready for change. Counseling is one thing that should not add to the list of things you are already trying to manage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/therapy-types\/cognitive-behavioral-therapy\">cognitive behavioral therapy<\/a> (CBT), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/therapy-types\/narrative-therapy#:~:text=Narrative%20therapy%20is%20a%20form,than%20it%20is%20hurting%20them.\">narrative therapy<\/a> (NT), and EMDR in my work with you. CBT and NT means that I help you find the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are causing roadblocks or pain, while also working to identify the overarching problematic stories  or narratives that guide your life. We work to find healthier, healing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as well as create new life stories to give you freedom from your past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I also specialize in treating trauma and I am trained in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emdria.org\/about-emdr-therapy\/\">EMDR<\/a>, which is a special framework to help change the way experience life now resulting from things from your past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">My clients describe me as warm, humorous, engaged, and accepting. I am excited about helping you heal. I choose this work because I want you to experience more than just bearing life. Having persevered through challenges in my own life, including loss, anxiety, and medical challenges, I want to help you increase the quality of your life and experience a better sense of fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-normal-font-size\">I am the owner of Nacogdoches Counseling Services and I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor and obtained a supervisory designation as well. I earned my bachelor&#8217;s degree in Psychology from University of Memphis, my master&#8217;s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from University of Memphis, and my doctoral degree from Adams State University. I am originally from Memphis, TN, but I have lived in many places. I moved to Texas in 2016 with my family, when I chose to make Texas our home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"is-style-wide wp-block-separator has-text-color has-theme-secondary-color has-css-opacity has-theme-secondary-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-theme-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background\" id=\"amanda-pruit-ms-lpc-supervisor-1\">John Pruit, Counselor in Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clientsecure.me\/widget-redirect?scopeId=1421d7df-994d-44d7-a7e4-6a135f8c524d&amp;applicationId=7c72cb9f9a9b913654bb89d6c7b4e71a77911b30192051da35384b4d0c6d505b&amp;channel=client_portal&amp;appearance=%7B%22fullScreen%22%3Atrue%7D&amp;clinicianId=1956107\">Request a free consultation with John by clicking here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-columns gb-layout-columns-2 gb-2-col-wideright\"><div class=\"gb-layout-column-wrap gb-block-layout-column-gap-2 gb-is-responsive-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"is-style-default wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1708\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"16428\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nac.-Counseling0013-scaled.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nac.-Counseling0013-scaled.jpg?w=1708&amp;ssl=1 1708w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nac.-Counseling0013-scaled.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nac.-Counseling0013-scaled.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nac.-Counseling0013-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1151&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nac.-Counseling0013-scaled.jpg?resize=1025%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1025w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nac.-Counseling0013-scaled.jpg?resize=1366%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">John@NacogdochesCounselingServices.Com<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Now booking for January 2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I am a counselor in training with Nacogdoches Counseling Services, currently completing my graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling. Alongside my clinical training, I am also a professor, and my teaching focuses on how people grow, make meaning, and navigate relationships and social expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In our work together, my hope is that you feel understood and accepted. I know that trusting someone new can feel risky, especially when you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, or questions about who you are and where you are heading. I will bring curiosity, respect, and a steady presence, and we will move at a pace that feels safe and workable for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I pay close attention to themes of collaboration, persistence, and handling pressure. Many people feel they have to keep performing and holding things together even when they are exhausted or struggling internally. I aim to offer a space where we can acknowledge those pressures openly, explore how they affect you, and build strategies that feel sustainable rather than adding one more expectation to your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">My clinical interests include anxiety, trauma, and identity development. I am especially interested in how personal stories, family experiences, and culture shape a person&#8217;s sense of self over time. Before entering the counseling field, I conducted extensive research in the field of sociology, focusing on narrative, identity, the sociology of early childhood education, deviance, and sociological social psychology. I hold a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in sociology from the University of Memphis and a Doctorate in sociology from the University of Missouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Across all of these roles, my goal is to offer a collaborative space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you sort through what matters most to you and take practical steps toward feeling more grounded and whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I am supervised by Hannah Prince, a fellow counselor at Nacogdoches Counseling Services. I offer a reduced fee to help fit various budgets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"is-style-wide wp-block-separator has-text-color has-theme-secondary-color has-css-opacity has-theme-secondary-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-theme-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background\" id=\"peyton-porterfield-ms-lpc-associate\">Peyton Porterfield, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clientsecure.me\/widget-redirect?scopeId=1421d7df-994d-44d7-a7e4-6a135f8c524d&amp;applicationId=7c72cb9f9a9b913654bb89d6c7b4e71a77911b30192051da35384b4d0c6d505b&amp;channel=client_portal&amp;appearance=%7B%22fullScreen%22%3Atrue%7D&amp;clinicianId=1122813\">Request a free consultation with Peyton by clicking here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-columns gb-layout-columns-2 gb-2-col-wideright\"><div class=\"gb-layout-column-wrap gb-block-layout-column-gap-2 gb-is-responsive-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"is-style-default wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1708\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"9073\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nac.-Counseling0004-scaled.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo of Peyton Porterfield\" class=\"wp-image-9073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nac.-Counseling0004-scaled.jpg?w=1708&amp;ssl=1 1708w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nac.-Counseling0004-scaled.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nac.-Counseling0004-scaled.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nac.-Counseling0004-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1151&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nac.-Counseling0004-scaled.jpg?resize=1025%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1025w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nacogdochescounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Nac.-Counseling0004-scaled.jpg?resize=1366%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Peyton@NacogdochesCounselingServices.com<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Welcome to a place where hope can be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We need more hope these days, don\u2019t we? Maybe you\u2019re exhausted from work or a parent-child conflict. Perhaps you have no idea what else to do because you have been stuck in the same distressing mood or relationship habits for years. It could be that your wound is fresh, and you don\u2019t know how to find the emotional first aid that you desperately need. It may be a dark moment in life when you have lost hope after carrying pain from your past for far too long. And sometimes (I\u2019m raising my hand with you, men) it\u2019s hard to ask for help or even know what help to ask for. One thing is for sure, we all need help and hope at some point in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That\u2019s where I come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">My passion is helping people to thrive in life. So many of us merely survive day to day. I truly believe that you have the potential to realize a healthier and more satisfying life for yourself! In our counseling sessions, you will receive individualized support to explore your present concerns and your past, to create healthy and realistic goals, and to begin learning and practicing a new way of thinking, feeling, and doing. It may sound like a gimmick or I\u2019m selling snake oil, but there is no secret to how we will do this together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I use a mix of well-researched techniques from cognitive behavioral, narrative, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/therapy-types\/adlerian-therapy\">Adlerian<\/a> therapies tailored for each client. The work we will do together is experiential and existential. <em>\u201cWait a minute\u2026 what does that mean?\u201d<\/em>&nbsp; Simply put, it means that I will respect your unique personal experience. I will listen to you and take you seriously. I will help you gain insight into why you think, feel, and do things the way that you do. I believe that with better understanding of yourself, together we will discover new and healthier ways of living to practice. That\u2019s how transformation happens. That\u2019s how hope for change can be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you\u2019re still reading, then something must have struck a chord and resonated within you. I am happy to offer you a free 20-30 minute consultation to discuss what your needs are and to provide you with more information for you to feel as comfortable and confident as possible in making your counseling choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019ve been where you are. Through my own experience of finding the courage to go to counseling after years of anxiety, depression, growing as a parent, and grief of loss, I found the hope I needed to thrive and not just survive. It would be an absolute honor to connect with you and help you on your own journey toward hope and the life you want for yourself, your relationship, or for your child and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">My professional counseling experience is preceded by 15 years of work as a mentor, educator, and volunteer service coordinator for communities and schools in central and east Texas. I assisted individuals of all ages, from children to seniors, through both joyful milestones and difficult life transitions. I have experience working with school-aged children with Individualized Educational Plans and 504 Plans in the public school setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">I am paneled with United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Oscar, Oxford, Optum, Carelon, and BCBS PPO insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">I earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in Youth Education and Administration from East Texas Baptist University in 2008 and a master\u2019s degree in Professional Counseling from Stephen F.

If you find that you lack&nbsp;support in your personal life from family, friends, or even work, and you feel like you need more guidance, then I am a good fit for you. I specialize in couples, families, and those struggling with relational issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I understand feeling lost and not knowing where to turn. As someone who found resilience in my struggles, I know just how difficult it is&nbsp;to navigate these feelings alone. If you are currently in the \u201ccounselor hunting\u201d stage, I have been in your shoes and I know it is daunting. It can feel intimidating to try to find the right fit and it\u2019s not always easy&nbsp;to trust&nbsp;someone&nbsp;you don&#8217;t know yet. However, I want you to know that feeling better is possible and you do not have to suffer alone anymore. You have already made the first step in the right direction just by looking for options. I am here to help, and I am excited to get to know you and help you along your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When working with me, you can expect comfort, safety, and&nbsp;a&nbsp;serene environment where there is freedom to be yourself. You will find understanding and acceptance in your courage to share yourself with me. My goal is to provide a space where you feel welcome and heard, while you learn tools to guide you in the direction of your goals. I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship with you where you can share what you need to heal and change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I use a person-centered approach to counseling, meaning you and I will work collaboratively&nbsp;to find a method that works best for you and your needs. I understand that everyone\u2019s story is different and not everyone benefits from the same approach. You and I will work together to find what&nbsp;best&nbsp;fits your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">My clients describe me as warm, comforting, encouraging, and loyal. I am here to help you heal and grow in your journey. Life can be a struggle sometimes and we all need&nbsp;someone we can lean on for support. Sometimes that can be a loved one and other times we need a counselor. I would love to be that support for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">I earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in psychology from Stephen F.

This means I work to deeply understand your unique story\u2014your experiences, thoughts, values, and the lens through which you see the world\u2014so that together we can create a path forward that feels meaningful and manageable to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">My experience includes supporting people who are recovering from breakups, working through trauma, navigating guilt and complex life transitions, and facing intense anxiety, chronic worry, and emotional overwhelm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In our work together, my goal is to truly know you\u2014not just your struggles, but your strengths, values, and hopes.
