Dr. Storey’s approach to psychotherapy aims to provide the dual approach of providing symptom relief, and diving into the root of each individual’s presenting concern. She views psychotherapy as a means to help individuals make sense of wants and needs, and to advocate for a way of being that feels empowering and in connection with their own values. She can help with identification of triggers, improving coping skills, and enhancing relaxation skills. Dr. Storey is currently accepting appointments for individual psychotherapy and couples/marital counseling, ages 18 and up, in our Southlake office, or via Telehealth.

I am a LPC and I am passionate about helping children and tweens who have anxiety learn how to cope using mindfulness, cognitive behavior therapy techniques, play therapy techniques, and EMDR. The majority of my clients struggle with difficulty concentrating, sleeping, constant worry, and feelings of being on edge or restlessness. Their worry persists through all aspects of their life, and sometimes my patients show up as irritable and angry.

Many times, we have stressors and issues that impact our lives. When sleep or appetite is affected, functioning at work or home is compromised it may help to explore these concerns with a professional to find solutions and relief.

Things may feel hard right now, and you're not sure who to turn to. I know how hard it can be to feel overwhelmed with anxiety and stress. You might be looking to find emotional relief, a greater sense of joy in your life, connection with your loved ones, and control over your life. You may be experiencing multiple life changes. Maybe you are a parent of a preteen or teen who just seems to struggle with getting back into the swing of things at school and want them to have a trusted adult to talk to. I'm also trained in accelerated resolution therapy (ART), which I use to help people gain relief from unwanted thoughts and trauma.

If children came with instruction manuals, parenting would be so much easier; but they don’t, and being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs in today’s busy world. As a parent, I understand how difficult it can be to manage, teach, and help your child overcome adversities to reach his or her potential. When your child struggles, your teen lashes out, or they are crippled with anxiety, you may feel frustrated or overwhelmed… or both. As a professional, my passion is helping parents and their children, tweens, teens and young adults through life’s challenges--to feel competent to handle their lives.
