Therapists in Dallas, TX

You want to appear more outgoing, productive, and like you are “on top of things” but deep down you are struggling to cope with anxiety and low self-esteem. You're someone who enjoys your alone time but still finds yourself wanting to be active and feel included. You want to feel less exhausted and find that too many things going on at once can leave you feeling frazzled. You also may struggle with overanalyzing a past conversation you had or maybe you feel self-critical. You're ready to start feeling some relief, hope, and happiness again. Most of all, you're ready to feel less anxious and stressed. I want to help you get there!

I partner with young adults and millennials struggling with the challenges of life. Maybe you're dealing with relationship issues, a life transition, self-esteem issues, grief & loss, or simply trying to find yourself. If you're feeling confused and overwhelmed with emotion, deciding to meet with a therapist can be the first step toward relief. I have over 15 years of experience helping people find answers to the difficulties they face. I believe you are the expert as it relates to your symptoms and your life experiences. My role is to collaborate with you, offer guidance and insight, and work together with you toward your goals.

Let's create a safe place for you to be able to explore; whether you need to explore your anxiety, self-esteem, or even past trauma. I enjoy helping others work on understanding and learning how to manage anxiety. I have insight within the Latinx community and enjoy working on stopping generational trauma. Trauma is a difficult journey to work through, however, it is not impossible. We will begin this journey by allowing yourself to be open and curious throughout this process. Let's set realistic goals and take one step at a time.

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.

Depression and anxiety can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, and scared without even knowing why. Life can be overwhelming with all of the stress that comes from school, family, pressures from friends, not feeling good enough, and the list goes on. Racing thoughts, feelings of loneliness and hopelessness, lack of motivation, and fear of what life is going to throw at us next are just a few common symptoms. However, there is hope for a sense of calmness in the storm. You can get through these challenging experiences with more confidence.

My name is Tess with Therapy Central Dallas and I am accepting new clients online and in person. My office has big beautiful widows, soft lighting, and comfy couches. I love embarking on a mindful journey of self discovery with my clients. Maybe you have been through the ringer, and you’re ready to unpack all the chaos that has happened to you. Or perhaps you’ve reached a point where something’s gotta give, and you need a big change. Or, like most of us, you just need a safe space to let it all out. I enjoy providing long term therapy services to clients as they navigate their new path.

People think you have it all together, but have no idea how much you struggle. You feel like an imposter. Exhausted & ashamed, your self-esteem sinks low. Alone, isolated in success, it feels fragile & being overwhelmed plagues you. Let’s change this refrain together! I work with perfectionist, high achieving people with a harsh inner critic that can’t relax, connect and enjoy the life they've worked so hard to build. Also, those navigating life transitions: marriage, parenthood, divorce, separation, new diagnosis, post medical weight loss.

I have a passion for working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, stress and burnout. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy rooted in warmth, humor and empathy. My diverse background in business, hospitality, manufacturing and education allows me to relate to people from all walks of life. I am particularly passionate about reducing stigma, and increasing accessibility to mental health services in the BIPOC community.

I am here to help you feel, think and live a better quality of life. Your mentality is an aspect of you that you cannot escape and once you have developed a healthy and positive mindset you will be able to navigate your life peacefully and optimistically. During these uncertain times mental health is extremely important and it can effect your self worth, relationship with family, friends and partners. Whether you struggle with grief, depression, mental illness, low self esteem or conflict with others I extend my professional support to assist you in elevating yourself.

Hello! I believe in the value of connection and authenticity. My therapeutic approach comes from a deep-seeded belief that all humans are worthy of love and compassion. I believe that each person needs different things and it is my hope to be available to you to offer guidance, support, empathy, compassion, and acceptance without judgement.

My goal is to be present for my clients and for them to feel safe in sharing their stories with me.

My primary focus is trauma survivors. I have experience with survivors of domestic violence, sexual and physical assault, and traumatic grief (i.e. individuals who have lost loved ones to homicide, suicide, or sudden deaths). I also work with clients experiencing major life transitions and issues with self-esteem. I work primarily with adults from all backgrounds.

Accepting New Clients – “Hope is a passion for the possible.” -S.K. Seeking help is the first step toward reclaiming hope, passion, and possibilities in your life.

We will focus on healing from past hurt and trauma, attuning to emotional experiences in the present, and developing resiliency for the future.

Are you depressed, anxious, or stressed? Are you struggling with low self-esteem, relationship issues, or procrastination?

Whatever the case, you've come to the right place. You will be treated as one-of-a-kind with your unique disposition and life experiences. You will be heard and understood wholly, even for those that bring the greatest shame. Last but not least, you will be challenged and pushed to strive for the best version of yourself.

One of my intentions as a therapist is to provide a space that is safe and genuine, where you can feel comfortable enough to seek the growth and healing you are coming to therapy for. We can collaboratively explore your reasons for coming to therapy and identify treatment goals based on such. Whatever it is that you might be struggling with, I will meet you where you are and do my best to help you meet your goals.

In celebration of each individual's strengths and unique qualities, I offer an individualized approach that is customized to the needs of each client. I believe that with support, guidance, compassion, and understanding people have the ability to not only find solutions to their challenges, but the strength to make positive changes. I am passionate about working with children, teens, adults, and families and offer play therapy, activity therapy, expressive arts, and/or traditional talk therapy. I practice from a neurodiversity affirming lens where we focus on empowerment and appreciating everyone's unique differences.

Is your stress level through the roof? Do you feel exhausted, but yet you can’t sleep? Overwhelmed with worry or frustration? Are your relationships on edge? Or do you feel "stuck"? It's easy to lose your focus, your joy and your presence when you are inundated with stress and overwhelming emotion. I work with clients wanting to move beyond emotional pain from their past. By doing this, we improve relationships, increase self-esteem, and build resilience.

I am passionate about creating an environment where one feels comfortable and safe. My clients would describe me as patient, competent, goal driven, and honest. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience, I'm committed to challenging you to be honest with yourself while making progress each day towards our long-term goals. It is important to me to empower my clients to be their own agents of change as well as be an anchor for themselves when presented with difficulties in life.

I work with adults of diverse and multicultural backgrounds to address concerns such as chronic anxiety and depression, self-esteem and relational challenges, self-alienation and shame, loss and unresolved grief, developmental/relational trauma, and adult-onset trauma. In my practice, I recognize the role of past and present relationships, strengths, values, and lived experiences in our sense of who we are and adaptive strategies developed along the way.
