Therapists in Dallas, TX

Whether it's anxiety, depression, or life changes, we as humans tend to think we're “okay” as long as we get through the day. Yet burying these difficulties doesn't heal them & triggering factors will remain. You're not alone in feeling this way! It takes courage to seek help & I want to applaud you for taking this first step. Now let’s work together on truly finding your healing! I am passionate about helping others & will personalize a counseling plan for you that matches your goals for therapy. I think of therapy as a journey towards one’s wellness. I will be a fellow traveler throughout your personal journey.

Sometimes we need to be heard without judgment. Sometimes we need to make sense of pain in our past to make living in the present a little less difficult. Whatever your need, I hope to provide you with the opportunity for increased growth, connection, and restoration. I am committed to empowering clients as they deal with concerns such as self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, spirituality, life transitions, and anxiety. I also enjoy working with young couples preparing for marriage as well as helping couples of all ages navigate the intricacies of communication, intimacy, connection, and a satisfying relationship.

Hi, my name is Martin McClenon. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas, as well as a Combat Navy Veteran. I have been practicing for 3 years in community health, outpatient, inpatient, and private practice settings. I am experienced in facilitating healthy life changes.

Our process will be collaborative and interactive to whatever goals you define for yourself. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, or relational stressors, I can help you explore your needs, motivations, and interests while supporting you in finding control within your life's story.

Whatever you are dealing with, know that I am here to listen and support you uncover growth. I believe strongly in encouraging self-empowerment, focusing on choices and their results. Central to my theoretical orientation (Person-Centered, Existentialist) is a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, being solution-focused, as well as encouraging mindfulness.

Sometimes we need a safe place to tend to our heart, a place to be heard and understood, a place to get help. I am here to provide that place for you. Perhaps you have been feeling anxious or down.

The human experience exposes us to many stressors, traumas, and anxieties. Recognizing and seeking help to overcome these is the first step in one’s therapeutic journey. While this process can be overwhelming, and uncomfortable, identifying the right person to help you overcome these emotions is a very critical part of your journey. You should know that I value providing a non-judgmental space that will allow you to explore your emotions and together engage in a journey that will allow you to start being the best version of yourself.

Retirees exploring life after a career, young adults trying to find their way, people struggling with feelings of depression and anxiety, and people searching for meaning: these are just some groups I enjoy working with. Nobody is immune to life's difficulties, and everybody faces trials such as stress and anxiety, among many others. The COVID pandemic has been a significant trial for everyone. You're not alone in your struggle to adjust. The fact that you're reading this means that you've already taken the first step to managing and improving your life.

I believe anyone can benefit from counseling. We all lead busy lives in an increasingly complex world; at its most basic, counseling offers a set time and place for a person to slow down, catch their breath, and talk through parts of their life in the service of making it better. Whether you want to know yourself more deeply, process impactful life events or relationships, heal from mental or emotional pain, or further develop aspects of yourself for a better quality of life, I aim to help my clients with these goals and others.

My ideal client is someone looking for greater self-exploration and seeking inner harmony. They want to be mentally and physically balanced while striving to be their best self. They want growth and maturation and to align with their greater purpose. They're looking for guidance by getting back connected with their inner source through the process of therapy and exploring their experiences. My ideal client is looking to be heard, understood, and attended to assuage emotional disturbances, life difficulties, and cognitive dissonances. I work with teens, young adults, adults, couples, and athletes.

I believe in the beauty of a sound mind and mental clarity, knowing the way we live successfully correlates with how we think and feel. I also see the importance of the holistic approach to mental health. I recognize the connection between the physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of the human experience, and want to see my clients balance and succeed in each area for optimum wellness. Core to my belief is the truth that when we change our brains and mindsets, we change our lives. Each person has a specific purpose for living. I offer a non-judgmental environment where clients are able to express their thoughts and emotions.

The majority of my clients are looking for a therapist to help them work through a difficult stage of life, and I consider it an honor to be given that opportunity. I will provide a thorough assessment for you in our first session and set up a treatment plan together. I specialize in treating relationships, depression, anxiety, sexual disorders, trauma, and PTSD. I also have a great deal of experience working with those with Bipolar Disorder, personality disorders, sleep disorders, self-harm, and sex and pornography addiction. As an ally of the LGBT+ community, I work with individuals in any type of relationship.

Many people long to be different, but lack that “something” that will make the difference. They feel alone, ashamed, and hopeless. Others are stuck in continuing cycles of pain and feel disconnected from life and love. This doesn’t have to be you. It can be a challenge, but peace, joy, and hope are available to you. There is a way to heal and learn to enjoy life in an ever-deepening way. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients find that "something" that will make the difference, to help them know they are not alone, and to move beyond shame and doubt. In other words, my goal is to help my clients flourish.

With over 15 years of experience, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, person-centered space to help clients find relief and find the path to experiencing more joy and fulfillment.
