Individual & Couples Counseling and Life
Coaching Services in Fort Worth, Texas.
Creating a space where you can breakthrough and overcome personal and relationship challenges
Hi, I’m Risper Wangari.
Licensed Counselor and Life Coach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Marriage & Family Therapist (MFT), and the founder of The Love Seat Counseling & Life Coaching. I have a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy along with advanced Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method training. I have a passion for helping individuals heal from complex trauma and distressed relationships. I was drawn to these specific specialties because they touch me personally and are so prevalent in today’s society.
I get you
You are struggling with conflict, distress, and poor communication. Your relationship with your partner or your family is suffering and you don’t know how to improve it. You’re struggling to overcome difficulties of your past, gain a sense of self-worth, develop new relationship patterns, and become your best self. You are overwhelmed with complex trauma or co-dependency or depression or anxiety. If you are Black, Latinx, or other minority people group, you are looking for a counselor who can relate and empathize with your unique challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Making the decision to see a counselor can be a difficult decision to make, especially if you have never seen a counselor before and aren’t sure what to expect. Counselors are able to help with a variety of problems ranging from a difficulty adjusting or coping with a new life change to depression. Here are some reasons why you may need counseling:
• You are having emotions or thoughts that are not normal for you or that are hard to control.
• You feel stuck in your life and want to make some changes but can’t do it on your own.
• There is an important relationship in your life that has just ended or begun and you need help navigating the loss or addition.
• You are having difficulty in a very important relationship in your life.
• You are participating in activities (i.e. pornography, extramarital affairs) that are hurting you or an important relationship and need help to stop.
• Your family has grown (through birth, adoption, or beginning to care for an elderly parent for example) and you and your family need help with the change.
• The sexual intimacy between you and your spouse has changed and you are concerned about the change.
By no means does this short list name all of the reasons you may want to seek counseling, but these are some common feelings that cause someone to begin thinking about seeing a counselor. In the end, you may simply want to see a counselor because you are feeling a little ‘off’ or need to talk to someone about how you are feeling. So, the most important reason to seek a counselor is because you determine that you need help.
Typical weekly sessions are 50 minutes with extended sessions available upon request. The healing journey is unique for everyone, some clients need 8-10 sessions and others more or less. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time therapy can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek therapy in the first place.
