Male Therapists in Lake Highlands, Dallas, TX

Do you struggle with a difficult marriage that affects your ability to relax at home and focus at work? Do you feel frustrated that your spouse doesn’t care or exhausted by the nagging and fighting? Do you wonder how your marriage got this way and know it could be better? Now more than ever, couples are faced with anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and a building temptation that destructive behaviors or breaking up is the only hope for relief. At Luminous Christian Counseling, I stand on Jesus’ words in John 16:33 when he said “In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world.”

I work with clients struggling with sexual addiction, marriage issues, betrayal trauma, failure to launch, depression, anxiety and substance addiction.

You wake up in the middle of the night, your mind swirling with thoughts of whether you'll ever be able to trust someone again – to let down those walls that have become your armor. The old ways of coping that once served you now seem to be crumbling, leaving you feeling even more adrift. Each time you tidy up a space, the weight of responsibilities feels unbearable, and you can't help but yearn for someone to care for you, to give you the break you so desperately need and deserve. If your day-to-day seems like a maze of responsibilities and obligations that leave little room for your own well-being, I understand and I can help.

My approach to therapy lies largely within the framework of Coherence Therapy - a newer approach to treatment that is different from many others. Instead of viewing something as "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change it, the focus is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms on a deep emotional level. Sometimes the symptoms we experience lead to us feeling "stuck." A deep understanding of why someone feels stuck entails addressing the cause of a problem to eliminate it at its roots rather than simply maintaining management of the symptom. I strongly believe that this approach leads to genuinely meaningful and lasting change.

I help men and women release problematic patterns through guiding them to a deeper and authentic understanding of their life. Once a pattern is understood and released, I support them in stepping into their own personal power, which is needed to create new healthy patterns of living. With this renewed sense of self empowerment, new patterns are woven together from a place of self-understanding, self-love and self-authorship; a greater sense of wholeness, happiness, and true inner peace physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually emerges.

Facing the decision to seek help for a substance use disorder (SUD) can be one of the most fearful places a person visits. My passion is helping individuals/families walk through this dark period.

I am a psychologist who is board certified in sleep medicine. I treat insomnia, virtually any sleeping disorder, and circadian rhythm disorders, in children and adults. I use evidence based medicine approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy of insomnia (CBT-I), CBT for anxiety and depression, and IRT for nightmares and PTSD. I directed the sleep disorders center at Children's Medical Center and the sleep medicine fellowship program at UT Southwestern Medical Center. CBT-I is rapid and efficacious for treatment of insomnia. CBT is also time limited for anxiety and/or depression. IRT works rapidly for nightmares.

My counseling practice focuses on adolescent and adults with a specialized focus on LGBTQ+ populations. As a gay man, I am held by deeply spiritual beliefs to help my LGBTQ+ community whenever possible.

I meet clients where they are in life and that is always my starting point while building a relationship to facilitate change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in the treatment of mood disorders, addiction, and issues with life transitions. Implementing different methods and theories in treatment, I often work with the client to explore and identify his or her personal beliefs, unique passions, and value system and evaluate the ways in which those areas of life may or may not currently be satisfied. I also work with the client to determine and address any obstacles that prevent him or her from experiencing richness in life.

We specialize in testing, diagnosing, counseling and coaching adults with Asperger's/Autism, dyslexia and other learning disorders, ADD/ADHD,visual and auditory processing disorders, language and communication disorders. We also treat anxiety disorders like OCD, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety, as well as sleep disorders. Many of these occur with ADD/ADHD, dyslexia or Asperger's/Autism. If you researched ASD and feel there is a possibility then there is probably good reason to explore it further.

Currently accepting new clients. Feel free to contact me by phone or email. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I recognize that everyone goes through times in their life when they need to reach out for help. My goal as a counselor is to cultivate a warm and safe environment that offers a space for growth and positive change without judgement. I utilize an integrative approach, incorporating elements of multiple theoretical approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy. I believe in meeting the client where they're at in life, and showing respect for the hard work that they put into their recovery.

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.

Have you been comparing yourself to others and frustrated with your own trajectory? Maybe you want to be hopeful but often wonder if the problem is you. Maybe you identify as LGBTQ+ and are looking for an unapologetically affirming environment. You may even have a strained or difficult relationship with religion that is affecting your adult life. Making the decision to pursue therapy can feel overwhelming initially. Exploring challenges in life can be scary. All of your feelings are valid and you deserve an environment to explore and consider the areas that life doesn’t always grant us time to navigate.
