Bisexual Therapists in University Park, Dallas, TX

Are you a woman of color who is struggling to manage your relationships and are tired of doubting yourself? At Lavanda Wellness holistic counseling and consulting we believe there is hope for change even in the darkest of shadows. You have been through ups and downs in your life…But you are tired of all the sadness and pain you’ve been through. You are here because you have hope, regardless how small that you can live a better life. That you can begin to heal old wounds. And show up fully for yourself.

Therapy is not easy, and it takes a lot of courage to ask for help. I commend you for taking the next step in investing in your mental health. The therapeutic relationship with your counselor matters, and I believe through positive connections and meaningful relationships, healing can happen. I specialize in helping teens, young adults, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I strive to provide a safe, warm, and collaborative environment when working with my clients.

My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

Therapy fulfills several vital roles: It offers a supportive space where you are free to express yourself, an essential component of your self-care practice, and, most importantly, it is a collaborative journey. As your therapist, I am here to guide you and equip you with the necessary tools as you actively participate in the process, reflect on your experiences, and implement changes. I provide targeted support to empower you to recognize unhealthy patterns, establish boundaries, and reclaim your sense of self.

My therapy methods focus on discovering how your thoughts affect your behaviors and emotions. We will identify your positive traits and strengthen your insights to find growth, healing, and purpose. Finally, we can identify goals and outline a strategic plan to obtain your goals. I have over 10 years of experience providing individual therapy in various mental health settings including private counseling, community counseling, correctional counseling, and in-patient hospitalizations.

I am a bicultural, social justice-oriented, Latina therapist with a focus on supporting folx in navigating the stress and trauma experienced in a system that was not created for us. I am here to help you unpack the complex emotions that arise when living in an identity that's "othered". I have experience working with diverse issues and populations including Cultural/Racial Identity, Systemic Oppression, Immigrants, Black/Indigenous/People of Color (BIPOC), Polyamory/Non-Monogamy/Open Relationships, Life Transitions, LGBQ+ (Sexuality),Transgender Allied, Insomnia/Sleep, and Chronic Health Conditions.

Therapy is time for you. I will meet you where you are at in life. As my client, I acknowledge you are an expert on yourself and with my support we can facilitate a safe space to openly navigate the challenges of change and growth in your life with curiosity and compassion. We will navigate it together to find the best path forward for you, focusing on building trust and mutual respect. I am welcoming, empathic, positive, and eager to help you throughout this journey.

Life is challenging. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed and hopeless. Often, this leads us to feel lonely, sad, angry, and many other uncomfortable feelings. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I help people overcome trials while instilling hope and letting them know they aren't alone. Following six years active duty military service in the U.S. Air Force, I completed graduate school at the University of Michigan. I have more than 15 years clinical experience working with individuals, groups, families, and couples looking for guidance and support navigating life's challenges as well as serious mental illnesses.

Each day you hoped for change, waited for a breakthrough, or some reassurance, letting you know “I got this.” You want to move forward, but are feeling stuck. You are ready to try something new to quiet the inner chaos that has consumed you and a desire for peace brought you here.

I believe one of the bravest things that you can do is to begin to understand your own story and prioritize your mental health healing journey. You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. In therapy, my goal is to cultivate an environment where you will feel safe to heal from all the emotional wounds and pain you've been carrying around. Calling a therapist can be an intimidating thing to do but I hope you take a moment to pick up the phone and see how I can help.

No matter the stories you bring in or the identities that you hold, my aim is to create a safe space for you to find healing. I have experience with clients of all ages, from littles to the more-seasoned. I have worked with interpersonal violence survivors, borderline personality disorder, complex PTSD, LGBTQ+ populations, empty-nesters, neurodivergent folk, and those experiencing faith deconstruction or spiritual abuse. I am now taking virtual clients from all over Texas!

I have a few openings for new clients in August 2023. My aim is to help you address problematic ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving by way of examining the ways in which you perceive the world around you. The goal is to assist you in reaching a position of appreciation for your genuine self (for you are the perfect you!) and an acceptance of the events that occur in your life. I would be honored to take part in your journey of discovering the narratives which potentially distort reality and lead to discomfort, diminished self-worth, or other barriers to attaining contentment.

The individual clients I typically work with say they feel like they don't fit in, feel misunderstood, have a lot of chaos in their lives, have trouble relating to and trusting others, & struggle with feelings of emptiness, yet feel intense emotions that they are afraid to express.
