Therapists in Allen, TX

I want to sit with you and hear your story. My name is Courtney and I am committed to helping individuals, adolescents, and adults in various life stages who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, coping with grief and death, ADHD (including time management planning), and special needs. I have received additional training in working with individuals that have experienced Trauma and Complex Trauma, Grief and Loss, individuals on the Autism Spectrum, and ADHD.

I work with adolescents and adults who look to resolve struggles with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsions, complex trauma, childhood trauma, dissociation, and addiction. As part of the LGBTQ+ community, I work to make sessions safe, affirming, and welcoming. I meet people where they are, as the experts of their lives, and how they want to express themselves.

You were keeping it together, but then life happened, and it knocked you off balance. Do you feel alone, angry and hurt… and now your mood, your relationships and/or your work-life balance are starting to feel a tad bit strained? We really dig into the root of your limiting thoughts, self-sabotaging behaviors, and why you feel the way you do so you can finally thrive, even after trauma, loss, or childhood trauma. I help adults who want to stop feeling lonely, hurt, angry, overwhelmed, easily triggered and hopeless gain clarity, find peace with the past, build resilience for the present, and create change that lasts.

Are you or your child hurting from past trauma? I can help you and/or your child move past disturbing memories or current difficult situations. Using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy and integrative brain health practices both you and your child may feel a sense of release and become more connected with yourself and others.

Greetings! My name is Charles Vela, and it has been my life’s passion to support and encourage individuals in living their fullest life and healing from past trauma. I received my undergraduate degree in philosophy and psychology at the University of Texas-Austin and went on to my graduate studies at UTRGV. I have experience counseling and working in social work settings and have been able to work with an array of amazing individuals ranging from couples, children, veterans of foreign wars, and families. I help clients struggling with anxiety, panic disorders, PTSD, trauma, chronic pain, and depression.

My approach to therapy is centered on providing conscious aware therapy to help clients rediscover their purpose, passion, and mission in life. I believe that every person deserves to give themselves permission to know that they matter and that they deserve to show up for themselves. My goal is to show up for my clients and walk alongside them in their healing journey, helping them to identify and unpack past experiences that are impacting their present. I am passionate about helping clients see themselves and share love and compassion to all parts of themselves.

In my practice I focus on Freedom - The freedom to love and be loved authentically. In life we can be held back by obstacles we can't see as well as by obstacles we can see. I specialize in helping clients working to free themselves from those roadblocks. Successful clients have entered my office asking questions like: "No matter what I say, my spouse hears something different." "Why am I doing this, again?" "I've done everything I know, and not advancing at work," "Why won't these thoughts (fears) leave me alone?"

I believe true healing involves hard-work, a dose of self-awareness and the diligence to see oneself as being capable of it. Let me help you get to that place using congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathetic understanding. As a Client Centered Therapist, I seek to assist you with addressing the concerns, acknowledging the needs and identifying the goals specific to your overall idea of mental wellness. My experience ranges from ages 7-65+ in different levels of severity.

I began my professional journey as a young adult working in various settings with people struggling to make better choices. As I worked with individuals from widely diverse backgrounds and walks of life, I began to appreciate the power of one hand reaching out. I became profoundly aware that most people are able to build a more fulfilling life, not because of good advice, but because another person was willing to walk with them, assist them in navigating unfamiliar territory, and be part of the process of discovering their potential.

Hello there and welcome to the journey before the journey of finding the right therapist for you. I work with pre-teens, teenagers and emerging adulthood populations (18-25). I specialize in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques and approaches. I am clinically trained in a variety of different treatment settings including, inpatient, outpatient, residential and traditional therapy. I have experience working with self harm, suicidal ideations, grief/loss, self esteem, relationship issues, stress management and identity development.

I have been in private practice since 2002 and since 2000 as a school counselor. As an ex-military dependent, I understand our diverse society and the stressors and positive influences around us.

I understand the overwhelming struggle of navigating life with OCD and anxiety disorders. It's like being trapped in a mind that never stops, a constant whirlwind of 'what if' scenarios that demand your attention. The relentless racing thoughts can leave you feeling paralyzed by fear and distress, creating a daily battle that drains you both mentally and physically.

Let's talk about why things are so hard. Why you're doing the same old thing day in and day out despite wanting to change. Why you're waking up and wishing that the pills you took the night before had actually worked. Why in spite of all the things you've done to try and recover from your eating disorder or addiction, you feel like you've made no progress. Let's get down to the root of things and face them head on; if you're ready to get to work, I'm ready to help you!
