Therapists in Dallas, TX

Moving locations from Houston to Dallas. Starting January 1st in Dallas. When did you learn conflict resolution while you were growing up? And, from who? These questions are often met with laughter from clients as they quickly reply, "I didn't!" How can you be expected to utilize skills that you never learned? We don't inherently know how to have healthy relationships with partners and/or ourselves. Give you and your partner (or potential partners) a break. You dont have to keep ignoring the obvious signs of distress. We all need some help sometimes!

I’m a therapist serving all of Texas. I’m a mom to a pretty bad-ass 12-year-old, a best friend to several gorgeous people, and a partner (I’m polyamorous, and have two partners currently). My friends, family, clients, and partners are the most important things on the planet to me. I have two cats, Rocco & Lilith, who are terrible, and I love them. I am a Health At Every Size provider. Four things that always make me happy: good coffee, The Office, a good eyeshadow palette, and fresh hydrangeas

It's easy to feel alone with your pain, especially if you don't fit into the neat little boxes that other people expect. Perhaps it's your gender, sexuality or relationship structure (such as consensual non-monogamy) that cause you to feel different. Maybe you're a professional trying to juggle everything and feeling like you're failing on all fronts. Whether as an individual or as part of a relationship, you may need information, emotional support, insight, communication and/or coping skills, and/or just a safe, affirming place to gain some clarity and move forward.

Hello and Welcome! It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these issues. Many people experience shame about their relationship preferences, kinks, and sexual orientation. I like to help individuals and couples who may be struggling in this area. I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth.

Ren is a sex therapist who specializes with kink, non-monogamy, LGBTQIA+, and religious sexual shame. For those who feel different or outcast, Ren works with sexual, gender, and relationship minorities. Whether you have proudly left who you were behind or if you are just now questioning if who you were told you should be is really who you are, Ren wants to help you find your best self, beyond the confines of tradition or childhood beliefs. Find freedom from society's expectations. Reduce your shame. Become your most authentic self.

Since 2018, I have utilized person-centered and strength-based practices to promote the "Power of Self." These practices empower individuals to direct their therapeutic process. Establishing a safe zone and welcoming client feedback allows methods that are proven to be effective in managing difficulties, promoting personal growth, and accomplishing personal goals. I also provide therapy services to individuals exploring their sexuality; sexually fluent; and those that are experiencing a decrease or increase in sexual functioning.

“And how do you feel about that!?” ---Says every TV comedy-bit depicting therapy. In reality, it can be intimidating to share our true feelings with another person- especially with a (virtual) stranger. In therapy sessions, I therefore create a warm, safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, space to unpack your story. I view you as an expert on yourself and will encourage you to honor your own inner wisdom. I value processing your unique context and how intersectional identities and structures of oppression contribute to your distress.  My goal is to illuminate the root causes of your pain and to help guide you towards healing and growth.

Therapy is an intensely personal process which can be both exquisitely liberating and excruciatingly difficult. To honor this, I focus on developing a strong relationship with you characterized by compassion and a suspension of judgments. No topic is off-limits in my office; nothing is "unspeakable" or "unthinkable." What I ask of my clients is to be honest and searching. I will never coerce you into divulging something before you are ready, but I may encourage you to examine the deeper meanings behind interactions that have been troubling you. Together we will uncover truths and sort through whatever may rise up.

If you find yourself struggling with emotions that feel hard to control, engaging in "people pleasing" tendencies that leave you worn out, or are worried about repeating unhelpful relationship patterns, then I'm the therapist for you. I specialize in depression, grief, anxiety, relationship problems, personality disorders, self-harming behaviors, and those who may have experienced trauma or interpersonal violence. I also work with clients experiencing sexual difficulty, including issues related to sex and trauma, reclaiming one's sexual identity, and learning to experience fulfilling sex.

Whether you're figuring out who you are, coming out to others, or looking for a place where you can explore other areas of your life, I can help. I can help if you're looking to explore sex, love, and relationships, if you're looking to heal old traumas, or you're managing an addiction. As an LGBTQ+ therapist who is a part of the community, I understand the need to have an affirming place to explore issues. I know everyone has their own journey figuring out their authentic sexual orientation and gender, but I also know that it can impact several areas of your life.

Sexuality can either enhance or complicate your personal life and relationships. Whether you're dealing with physical problems such as sexual dysfunction or pain with sex, or your relationship has a lack of sexual satisfaction, I can help. Problems with sex can lead you to feel inadequate, insecure, and even alone. Together, we'll work through these issues to help you feel more sexually confident, enhance the satisfaction that you have in your relationship, and explore your sexuality in a way that doesn't promote judgment and shame. Contact me today to set up an appointment.

We don’t always expect to find ourselves in a place where we need to reach out for help, but taking that step is a massive leap toward things getting better. Whether you are here to improve relationship concerns, address compulsive sexual behavior, seek help for infidelity or betrayal, or improve intimacy and sex, we can work together to get you to the place you’d like to be. In working with clients, I don't take a generalized approach and I tailor each session to your goals. My hope is that you leave each session knowing what your next step is.
