Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Richardson, TX

I am a bilingual and bicultural therapist and I am honored to walk with clients as they navigate various life challenges. I thrive to establish a safe therapeutic relationship with clients who have experienced trauma and difficult life circumstances. I am an EMDR trained therapist and understand that early life experiences affect and mold how we walk through life. My goal in the therapeutic process is to meet the client where they are at and offer a culturally sensitive approach to their challenges. I hope to hold a safe space for each client as they navigate and find their healing.

Are you depressed, anxious, feeling numb, or having difficulty staying focused? Do you feel trapped by your emotions and reactions? As a therapist, I aim to help you connect with all parts of yourself to cultivate growth and wholeness. We will work to identify patterns that are no longer working for you and build new ones to improve your quality of life.

Understanding your own story is one of the bravest and most healing things a person can do. Therapy with me is a collaborative approach to learn how to process stressful experiences, how to cope and manage symptoms/ life stressors, and how to be vulnerable in a safe, nonjudgemental space. Therapy is a step you take for yourself when you are ready to make lasting changes in your life. As your counselor, I want to help you achieve your goals, navigate life changes, and process stressful experiences. Therapy can be challenging, and it can also be an enjoyable experience as well.

I am a bilingual psychologist who is passionate about offering people a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment in which to grow and explore themselves. I view psychotherapy as being a collaborative experience where the therapeutic relationship drives meaningful change and growth. As my clients experience those uncomfortable "growth spurt" moments, I aim to support them by modeling authenticity and encouraging them to practice patience and acceptance with themselves. It is my personal belief that therapy can not only lead to symptom reduction, but also to greater personal satisfaction and inner tranquility.

Relationships are tough, even more with depression, anxiety, trauma or neurodiversity. Maybe you’ve gotten through tough times, but now are depleted. You were accepting of differences, but now lack patience, or perhaps betrayals, drinking, even social awkwardness became too much? I help adults improve communication, and learn to repair & forgive in relationships. It’s time you are heard, understood, cared for - even if affair repair or addictions are happening. My website outlines specialization in neurodiversity (ADHD, autism ) couples counseling. Let me guide you to stop those hurtful patterns, so healing & love are a priority.

I specialize in treating adults, children & adolescents with OCD, anxiety & other mental and behavioral health issues using evidence-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT) strategies including exposure & response prevention (ERP). My work is guided by research on the most effective theory, approach, and strategies for OCD & anxiety. I am available for traditional outpatient therapy as well as more intensive "in vivo" treatment in your home, school, car, or wherever your symptoms are most problematic. I offer these non-traditional services because OCD & anxiety are most effectively treated wherever they "live" in your daily life.

Do you find that you have always felt different or highly sensitive? Are you anxious and overwhelmed in social situations or maybe noting that you have sensory sensitivities, or processing issues that make certain interactions challenging? This can be very alienating and exhausting to manage and can lead to self esteem issues and challenges like anxiety, depression, and increased instances of trauma. You may already have a diagnosis such as Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia or Bipolar. In my therapy, I pull away from harmful "cure" based approaches, and instead, into approaches that nurture self-acceptance and healing.

You want to heal but you are TIRED of just talking every week! We communicate effectively WITH your mind and body in other ways. You don't have to be "creative" to heal through expressive arts and somatic therapy. You can get to where you want to be in life through experiencing somatic healing as well as creative/expressive art therapy (& you don’t have to be “good” at art). You are NOT crazy and we can help your brain and your body know that too. WE work at YOUR pace for YOUR situation. You don’t have the time, money, or energy to “test drive” therapists or modalities. Burning out, health issues, relationships…!

No one likes being stuck in cycles from events of the past. Adults who grew up with emotionally unavailable parents may experience abandonment or rejection that looks like codependence, anxiety, and depression. You have difficulty trusting in relationships or find yourself drawn to other emotionally unavailable adults. It's a cycle and one that you can't talk your way out of or through. There's a root, and my goal is to help you heal that root so you can see yourself differently and connect with others from a more healthy mindset, thus engaging in healthier relationships.

Hi! My name is Mishaal and as a therapist I really focus on creating a space that is safe and full of compassion because most of us have trouble finding spaces like that in our everyday lives. My goal is simply to help people feel better, and my therapy style is collaborative where together we identify issues and come up with solutions. While there are many approaches to therapy, I find the most value in engaging with my clients and being real in sessions. Meaning, I like to ask questions, offer perspectives, teach you tools, and sometimes just sit there with you while you feel a hard emotion.
