Therapists in Allen, TX

I love working with clients from all walks of life. I have experience working with clients across the lifespan. I am especially passionate about working with children and teenagers who have experienced traumatic events or major life stressors.

Relationships provide a window to the heart of an individual like no other. Our closest relationships tend to reveal our most wounded places. Those hurts, if left unresolved, are carried forward and recast into our exiting patterns of relating. All our experiences, but most particularly our pain, become the filter through which we sift and construct our view of self, our approach to life, our capacity love and be loved, and our ability to trust.

New Clients Welcome! Sometimes you can be in a room full of people and feel totally alone. You tell yourself that if anyone else knew your struggles they wouldn’t understand, they'd tell you to “get over it” or worse, they would reject you completely. We often strive to prove our value as people through achievement or by doing for others, and we lose sight of who we are and what we want. You deserve a space where you can be truly seen, heard, and accepted as you are where you're at; counseling can be that place.

You know something in your life needs to change, but you feel powerless or overwhelmed on where to start. You beat yourself up wondering why it’s so difficult for you to take action when everyone else seems to have their act together. Consequently, you end up doing nothing, and the cycle of shame continues. Believe me, I can empathize, and more than that, I can help. What I want you to know, more than anything, is that there's nothing wrong with you, and you're not broken. You just need to take that first small step towards the healing you truly want, and I encourage you to start today by reaching out to me by phone call or email.

Do you feel stuck? Is the weight of the world too much to bear? We are not meant to struggle alone. Life’s pains, mistakes, and failures do not have to define who you are. You are called to be more. Emily "Claire" Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor- Associate supervised by Mysti Hively, MA, LPC-S.

Hello! It is so great to meet you here. My name is Brittany and I specialize in working with individual teens, young adults, and adults who are struggling with trauma, self-harm, anxiety, depression, and family, career, and life transitions. I understand that your life may feel broken and fragmented right now, you are not alone. My sweet spot is connecting our past experiences to our present to heal and live a better future. My job and joy is to come alongside you, whatever your hurts are, and work with you to become a version of yourself that you want to be!

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.

Getting started on the therapy journey is a tough and brave step, so thank you for being here. Whether it's navigating life transitions, exploring relationships and family dynamics, or adjusting to new life roles, the difficulty of not understanding our feelings and needs can be overwhelming. During sessions, I aim to provide a safe space for individuals to sit with their emotions and process their experiences without the need to explain their multicultural backgrounds. I work with clients in unpacking their life experiences, including family systems, recognizing them as contributing factors to the current situation.

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.

"Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny" (C.S. Lewis). Often, life stressors can be so overwhelming and we lose sight of ourselves within the stress. As a therapist, my goal is to assist you through such stressors, and eventually overcome them. Whether, this is going through a life-altering event, overcoming trauma, or just finding ways to manage your life, I am committed to helping you find that happiness at the end.

There’s no secret to life or hacks to happiness. If you want truth, life is hard and there’s no handbook for how to manage yourself, much less your relationship or family dynamics. The mess of life is a great foundation for growth! You are not alone in your highs and lows and feeling misunderstood is common. Being vulnerable is not always easy but I think it is important to say the things others are afraid to say. With my background and experience, I am confident together we can work to overcome the struggles that are keeping you from living your best life.

Grappling with depression, stuck in addiction, or home when you'd rather be independent? Living with the echoes of an unhappy or abusive childhood? Noticing you feel anxious and tired on a daily basis and can't figure out why, or can't seem to connect with others the way you'd like? Maybe you're not even sure what to call what you feel, but you'd really like to change it and find a way to feel like yourself again. None of these issues are pleasant, but we can work on them together. As a counselor working with complex combinations of addictions and mental health issues, I offer genuine caring and acceptance as you learn and heal.

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!

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I offer practical steps and guidance that promote awareness and forward movement with the challenges brought to therapy. Are you going through a difficult time overwhelmed with emotion, or working hard and aiming to please but find you are worn out and satisfying no one, including yourself? You may be feeling stuck in an unhealthy relationship or behavior pattern. You may be struggling with that "inner critic" that succeeds in throwing you off your game. I strive to provide a safe environment where relief and desired change can replace pain, distress, and frustration.

I firmly believe in meeting the client in where they are in their life’s journey, creating a place free of judgment or barriers. I believe everyone has the chance for personal growth and can benefit from therapy. The mind can create cognitive distortions, inaccurate thoughts that produce negative emotions. My belief is that challenging those negative thoughts at their onset is the best line of defense to keep you from reinforcing the negative thought pattern.
