Fulshear Treatment to Transition

Please welcome our new Clinical Director, Allie Haydon! We are so excited for her clinical and leadership expertise, and lovingly direct approach, in joining our team. Allie graduated from Texas A&M University in 2008 with a Bachelor's degree in Literature. She taught 7th grade English for one year before realizing that the part of the day she really loved was talking to the kids before and after school about their lives. She decided to get her Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor certification and began working in non-profit agencies with young people and their families recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. She later realized she wanted to help people with more than just substance use and received a Master's degree from Our Lady of the Lake University in 2016 for Marriage and Family Therapy. As a young person who has had to work through her fair share of issues, she has taken these lessons, learned from them, and created avenues to helping other young women learn and grow from their struggles. She takes a strengths-based approach with both clients and staff, empowering them to utilize their natural talents and align with their values to create meaningful, rich, fulfilling lives. She finds fulfillment today by riding horses, working out, going to comedy shows with her husband, and reading.

Please welcome our newest admissions team member, Sam Watson! Sam has worked in mental health for 15 years and is grateful to have built a career in a field that she is passionate about. She has previously held roles in geri-psych, brain injury, and residential treatment in operational and business development capacities. Sam is grateful to be a part of the Fulshear team, as she loves getting to work alongside so many talented individuals to empower our clients and families. Her favorite part of working at Fulshear is getting to see first-hand the great progress our clients make every day and she draws inspiration from their strength and courage. Sam grew up in Austin, TX and has a Liberal Arts BA from The University of Texas at San Antonio. In her personal time, Sam stays busy with her husband and two young sons. She enjoys being creative and learning new things. Whether at work or home, Sam strives to be a positive influence for those around her and she never takes herself too seriously. “Be silly, be honest, be kind.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

After a tough few days of no power at the ranch from the hurricane (but it’s back on now - yay!), most of our ranch clients went to an Airbnb in Austin for the weekend to get some well-deserved air conditioning, respite, and fun! A text from our clinical director, Dana, from the Airbnb: “Last night one of the clients mentioned that they all deserve tree tokens for how they handled this week - so, during lunch I ran to my car and made ‘hurricane tokens.’ We just did a group celebrating everyone.” Creating connection in moments like this in the midst of hurricane recovery is amazing, and we’re so grateful for our committed team and resilient clients! #FulshearStrong #IAMFulshear #createjoy #healgenerations Allyson Smith Della Posner Helaine Sandler

Take that Beryl! After a long Sunday night/Monday morning of high winds and a ton of rain, all is calm both at the ranch and at the apartments. Our clients and staff are safe and doing well. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to check on us. All we need now is our power. Can’t wait to be able to say the words we live by at Fulshear Treatment to Transition: “POWER RESTORED” #fulshearstrong #iamfulshear #createjoy #healgenerations

Hyperindependence can be difficult for young adults accustomed to relying solely on themselves. It often stems from past experiences of interpersonal trauma that have shaped their belief in shouldering burdens alone. To learn more about hyperindependence, from Cara Mularski, a clinical intern at our specialty program, Fulshear Treatment to Transition, head here ??.? https://lnkd.in/eyYvJi8t? .? .? .? #TheEmbarkDifference #CreateJoy #HealGenerations #EmbarkBH #hyperindependence #trauma #mentalhealth??

“Hyperindependence refers to a state where young adults exhibit excessive self-reliance and a reluctance to seek support or connection from others. This phenomenon often stems from past traumatic experiences, where young adults develop a heightened need for control and distance themselves from others as a coping mechanism.” Fulshear’s Cara Mularski shares great knowledge regarding the causes, the signs, and how to help overcome hyper independence amongst young adults. #fulshearstrong #iamfulshear #createjoy #healgenerations #mentalhealtj #attachment #youngadult
