I am a Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist through the Linehan Institute.

I also specialize in treating trauma and have been trained intensively in DBT based Prolonged Exposure therapy. Most of the clients I treat have co occurring diagnosis including Bipolar, Major Depression, PTSD, and/or Anxiety. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults.

Dallas Therapy Associates was founded Dr. Bates in 2019. We are a group psychologists who specialize in the treatment of individuals, couples, and families. As a group we consider the study of human development, the mind and human interactions as our passion. Individually we are well versed in a variety of treatment approaches and have a diverse clinical background.

Maybe you struggle with depression & feelings of hopelessness or crying spells. Or you might deal with anxiety & intense fears or panic attacks. I can help you gain insight into your experience & reroute thought patterns so you'll feel better. You may seek to improve the most important relationships in your life—with your partner, your teenager, your elderly parents, or yourself. We can work toward greater understanding & acceptance of others & yourself. Sometimes the physical, relational, & psychological issues that bring you to therapy are rooted in unprocessed wounds or trauma. We can change your story from pain to healing.

I enjoy helping my clients empower themselves to live the lives they wish to live, develop self-compassion, & embrace peace, frequently with the help of my therapy dog, Rockstar. I believe many stressful behaviors (e.g., isolation, eating disorders) begin as a way to cope, when we feel we have little control. Even if certain behaviors are now causing you distress, it is amazing that you empowered yourself to manage times in your life when you didn't know how else manage. Now, we can figure out new strategies that not only allow you to survive, but to thrive, in a way that allows you to feel peaceful & free.

Sometimes our experiences cause us to question ourselves. We often feel stuck, hopeless and alone. It is possible to move from hopeless to hopeful, from stuck to motivated, and from lonely to connected. The potential to make significant changes in our lives is inside each and every one of us. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction or relationship conflicts, choosing counseling is a demonstration of your personal power. My experience and interest is in working with adults, couples, children and adolescents in areas such as addiction, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues and relationship conflict.

I am passionate about helping clients find the awareness, insight, and resilience they need to overcome challenges and live a joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling life. My approach in counseling is based on ensuring you feel you are in a safe and supportive space so you can explore your current thoughts and feelings, process past experiences, and envision and achieve your goals. Clients describe me as calm, caring, and understanding. My goal is to offer fresh perspectives to those seeking change along with the collaboration, skills, and tools needed to create a path forward.

I help millennials live productive and fulfilling lives by teaching healthy communication skills, boundary setting, and healthy relationships. Together, we will help you reclaim your life by addressing limiting beliefs and behaviors that have kept you "stuck." We will explore the ways your life experiences have shaped you and create a plan that promotes healing. I believe in creating and holding a safe space for my clients to show up as their authentic selves.

Is your child acting out? Is your teenager exhibiting symptoms of depression or anxiety? Are you a young adult struggling in relationship or with your life path? Are there feelings and behaviors separating you and your spouse? Each one of us has a vision of how our lives are “supposed” to go — the kind of person we’re supposed to be, the kind of relationships we’re supposed to be in, the path we’re supposed to be on. Yet, life often gives us a different story to tell... What if there was a space, a place to take a moment? A safe space where you can be heard with compassion and acceptance, toward making a plan for healing and growth.

Do you often find that you compare yourself to others? Do you want to stop unhealthy behaviors but have a hard time making change? Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships, but you're not sure what to do about it? Maybe you struggle with setting and keeping boundaries with yourself and others. We all have limits in relationships that help us feel safe and connected, although sometimes it's hard to assert them. Many of us have been "trained" to ignore our own needs. What would it be like to work on making decisions in your life that truly benefit you and allow you to have healthier connections?

My goals for my clients is to move from a place of pain and suffering to growth and healing. I am a LPC and specialize in challenges of pre and post divorce, infidelity recovery, pre-marital, and couples seeking healing, understanding, and intimacy. My goals for couples therapy is to provide a safe place to explore and understand one another to connect. I also help individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, anger management, bipolar, cutting, lack of assertiveness by reaching a healthy self-concept. I am EMDR trained and work with first responders.

As humans, we are wired for connection. I believe that the key to long lasting change is a deeper connection to yourself, as well as, those around you. Self-awareness and support are the first steps in any growth process and through both directive and exploratory techniques, I will help you begin the journey to the healthier version of yourself.

Every person has the talent, skills and abilities to achieve all that they set out to accomplish. Sometimes, our past, trauma, family, society, etc. has stolen our ability to see those strengths, so I specialize in bringing those to light. I have spent most of my career supporting young adults through the transitions of life. I also have spent time supporting families through pet loss and end of life care. My approach is holistic, integrative and person centered. When working with me, we will focus on your mind, body and spirit.

Emotional wellness in difficult circumstances requires honest self-reflection, bravery, humor, creativity and optimism and these are qualities I encourage within the therapeutic process. My approach to therapy is a blend of Narrative Therapy (discovering through conversations hopeful, preferred, previously unrecognized possibilities and outcomes), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (challenging beliefs about actions in order to yield new results). I believe we are influenced by our family, community and childhood but are ultimately responsible for our choices and, further, that we possess the freedom to grow and change toward a desired way of being.

I provide individual counseling and premarital counseling for couples using the Prepare and Enrich Program by David Olsen. For the past 23 years, I have counseled adolescents, children, and parents in the school setting. Away from the school, my practice focused on clients of all ages who were encountering anger, anxiety, grief, depression, and low self-esteem. By attending counseling and through much encouragement, clients were able to better focus and resolve their mental issues.
