Therapists in Dallas, TX

Relationships are complicated and often bring emotional pain, loneliness, anxiety, and discouragement. Committing to someone requires courage and strength. I work with couples, families, and individuals applying the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which is a research-based treatment for clients seeking emotional connection and fulfillment in relationships. EFT helps clients understand the interactional patterns that cause emotional disconnection. I would love to offer you these tools, deeper understanding, and helpful insight as you seek to repair your most important relationships.

The issues that arise in our lives can often feel like they are too big for us to handle. We can feel confused, beaten down, or overwhelmed. Life circumstances can lead us to a place where we feel alone and hurting. The most important thing to know when we find ourselves in these places is that you are not alone. Challenges such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, and chronic stress can leave us all feeling lost. But you do not have to stay lost. You can begin your journey towards the life that you want for yourself and you don't have to go on that journey alone.

My clients would describe me as easy to talk to, a great listener, honest, and informed. I find great value in creating a foundation of trust and comfortability so my clients can work to meet their therapeutic goals. Counseling is most effective when the client feels accepted and believes the therapist genuinely cares about the topics discussed during session. It is a privilege to be a part of one's journey to improve, change, or maintain aspects in their life. I truly care about each of my client's health and well-being.

My name is Renee Breazeale and I applaud your insight that has led you to seek support through a therapist. If you are looking for a collaborative therapist who believes each of us holds our own answers, then I would be honored to meet you! Let’s be transparent here – I am NOT a wizard, therapy is NOT a “one session & you are fixed” process, & you ARE in charge of your life! Will it be easy? Probably not... Will it be quick? Probably not... Will you figure some things out? You bet! I will be your ally, advocate, cheerleader, support, and objective voice. I will use my skills to help you find what you are seeking.

I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families find their way to healing and connection. We spend at least 12 years preparing for a career, but we don't learn how to do marriage or repair conflict. Together, we will work to consider the influences that form your attachment style, behavioral patterns, and beliefs about yourself and your surroundings. It is common to continue those familiar patterns into adulthood, which can create challenging dynamics in life and in relationships. Learning these skills early in your relationship can improve the quality of your connection for a lifetime.

I tailor my treatment approach to the individual, couple or family that I work with. Each person is different and has different needs in the therapeutic setting. By using a variety of evidence-based approaches, I aim to help each person recognize and utilize their strengths to more effectively cope and eventually be content with where they are in life. I am experienced in working with clients across many diverse backgrounds of religion, ethnicities, and diagnoses. I'm also confident in navigating through one's past to help them be comfortable in the present.

Have you been searching for a therapist who truly connects with you or your teen? You’ve tried different things, but the communication, relationships, and interactions in your family are just discouraging and frustrating. You’ve tried therapy before, and even considered more intensive treatment options for yourself or your child. You don’t know what else to do. You are not alone. It is possible to establish changes intra-personally and within relationships. Family harmony can be a reality.

Now accepting new clients! Reaching out for help can be extremely difficult and intimidating, so it is my top priority to provide a warm and safe space for you to come as you are. I am passionate about working with couples and young adults in their 20's and 30's. I especially enjoy getting to use my specialized training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Grief Work, and Anxiety and Depression.

I believe we're shaped by biological (heredity, diet, hormones), psychosocial (peers, family, job stress), and psychological influences (thoughts, self-esteem, perfectionism). Addressing the mind-body interaction is critical. I guide and teach, helping clients learn new skills such as meditation and meridian tapping to handle life stresses. Clients who best fit my style wish to let go of negative patterns of self-doubt, guilt, worry, and feeling "never good enough." My therapy focus is here-and-now, focusing on mind-body habits, to develop new behaviors, recondition brain connections, to go beyond mere understanding or insight.

I am a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist with 34 years experience and am equally skilled in dealing with individuals and couples. The problems I deal with most commonly are anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, individual growth, midlife issues, relationship problems, anger management, conflict negotiation skills, divorce adjustment, blended families and parenting issues. I provide Christian counseling if requested. When working with couples I use John Gottman's research based model for marriage counseling coupled with key concepts of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I work with adults (21+) whose presenting concerns are most often related to anxiety, depression, grief, spirituality, "religious deconstruction," "purity culture," "religious reconstruction," sexuality, and relationships. My guiding therapeutic modalities are attachment-focused and trauma-informed (advanced training in Somatic Experiencing). I am also trained in ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (and EFIT), and the Gottman Method for couples. My practice is open to people of every religious tradition and people with no religious affiliation. I welcome married and unmarried couples into couple therapy.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with relationship issues in this complicated generation of our planet. Primarily, relationship problems involving complex trauma, intimacy concerns, addictive behaviors and codependency. We will carefully untangle any anxiety, self-doubt, obsessive thinking or numbing with internet addictions, work or substances that may no longer be beneficial. Emphasis is placed on integrating new experiences into your life through awareness of where you may be "stuck" in your protective fight-or-flight responses.

A connected, healthy, and successful marriage is possible. If your relationship has been knocked off balance or off course, I can help. Feeling desired, loved, and secure may have been a reality for you in the past and you aren't sure how to find it again. Perhaps that type of intimacy has eluded you, despite trying over and over to achieve it. But, it doesn't have to anymore.

You know that saying “Never judge a book by its cover”? Well, I can honestly say that the cover of my book does not match the pages! The pages in my book of life have equipped me with the experience to connect with ALL people. In my book, I’ve encountered many conflicts. I’ve been the antagonist and the protagonist and I’m just in the rising action. Because my pages are not all filled with butterflies and sunshine, I’ve had to work to find ways to help equip myself with daily coping skills. I am happy to be in a position to share my experience with others through therapy and educational opportunities.

I have a strong desire to help couples experience the healing power of emotional connection. My specialization in attachment and trauma has lent itself to helping individuals and families reimagine their future, deepen their intimacy, and nurture their connection. I have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and in Christian Sex Therapy. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help women and teens impacted by emotionally destructive relationships. I have a special love for leading couples groups and joyfully practice in both Dallas and Grapevine.
