Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Colleyville, TX

Do you feel disconnected in your relationship? Do you feel stuck in this season with little hope of change? Are you able to be honest with yourself and your partner? It can be discouraging, as we all have a basic human need to be known and connected with others. I believe as we begin to discover, accept, and value our strengths, weaknesses, wants, and dreams, we are more equipped to accept and value our partner's. Taking time to understand ourselves enables us to communicate our needs more effectively and meet others needs more readily.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and I obtained my Master's Degree in Counseling from University of North Texas in 2017. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with adolescents and adults on a wide variety of issues including complex trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, as well as gender and sexual identity. I have experience working in a variety of settings, such as nonprofit organizations, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care that have helped shape my therapeutic approach.

Life is hard! Whether it be stressors of everyday life, family or marital issues, school or work-related problems or because of recent or past trauma/grief, life can become messy. It gets hard not only for oneself, but also for loved ones or those around us. The reality is it happens to ALL of us. Sometimes all we need is for someone to listen with compassion and without judgment. Sometimes we require resources or coping strategies to help navigate the obstacles life throws at us. No matter what it is we need, therapy is the first step. Therapy equips us with the tools that we need to face whatever hardships we have.

On the surface it looks like anger or constant irritation, but beneath the turbulent current of destructive behaviors are emotions like sadness and grief, pain, sorrow and fear. Anger is much more preferable if a lot of your life you have felt powerless or helpless. As you might be figuring out, the power of intense, uncontrollable anger only leads to self-destruction and can deeply hurts others. Self-destruction can look a lot like being stuck, resistance to change even when miserable, using substances, or being undisciplined. It can feel lonely.

EMDR Trained and a Certified Irlen Screener, I have worked in the mental health field since 2006. I earned my Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from the Texas School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, and a Bachelor's Degree from Saint Edward's University. I am a credentialed health service psychologist with the National Register of Health Service Psychologists and also the founder and owner of Psychological Services of North Texas.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at emotionally and helping them and their parents reach their goals. Through a positive relationship with my client I try to help them gain insight into their desire to belong and have significance. I continually work to create a supportive environment for children in order for the child to gain insight and understanding into their unique world. With insight the child and therapist can collaborate to reduce the child's current stressors possibly leading to problematic behaviors.

I have practiced for more than 25 years. I treat individuals and families, marriages, and children, as well as chronic pain patients. I teach skills, and prepare individualized treatment plans which integrate your goals and the skills you can practice to achieve your goals. I also do assessments, for ADHD, learning differences, and personality testing. I use cognitive rational therapy to assist you in working toward your goals as efficiently as you choose.

I will help you resolve problems regarding your relationships, anxiety, depression, anger and addiction. I have twenty years of counseling experience and enjoy working with adults and adolescents. My clients describe me as warm, but honest. I will help you find sensitive solutions to life's toughest problems.

Feeling stressed? Shut down? Constant sadness? Panic attacks? Become emotionally stronger, happier, and better able to cope with life-changing events. I have 25 years of experience as a counselor. I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Psychiatric Nursing. I am open-minded, comfortable with complexity, and easy to talk with about upsetting memories from the past or present, and a wide range of psychological and medical issues.

I am equipped with a variety of therapy models and strategies for helping individuals and families. Along with these “clinical” tools, I understand the power of providing an empathetic ear. For me, counseling is a collaborative process that involves building a confidential, unique relationship. Through this relationship, I believe it is my role to help you understand yourself and the world around you better; focusing on thoughts, feelings and behaviors that impact you and your relationship with others.

Feeling emotionally vulnerable can be a scary thing to deal with, especially when dealing with it alone. I am here to let you know that you no longer have to do this alone. Whether you are dealing with unresolved trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, addictions, mood disorders, grief, or other mental health issues, I am here to help. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and the LGBTQIA+ community. In therapy, we will work through those unwanted emotions and help you begin to deal with them effectively.

I help people with depression and anxiety feel better and make life changes through evidence based treatments, such as psychodynamics, CBT and interpersonal psychotherapy. Each individual's course of depression and anxiety is unique, so I approach each treatment plan with the time and care that it needs. I focus on helping clients notice strengths, feel less alone, and improve relationships.

Are you trying to handle anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed? Your lived experiences have a huge impact on your mental health. Therapy is a place to process and heal. It takes hard work, bravery, and patience to go through all the heavy "stuff" that you carry around on a daily basis. You do not have to be alone in the process of your healing. The most important thing to me is that my client feels no judgment, is heard, and can trust that I am going to work just as hard as they are to reach their goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas. I have a Masters Degree in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. I have experience in treating trauma, PTSD, OCD, depression, anxiety, Bi-polar disorder, addiction, life adjustment issues, personality disorders, gender/identity, family and relationship issues. Throughout my career I've had the opportunity to treat a diversified clientele that has shaped my ability to be understanding and accepting. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most valuable aspect of the counseling experience.

We believe that counseling provides an avenue in which individuals and families can grow through self-discovery, self-awareness, gaining confidence, development of skills and creating meaningful and authentic relationships. Asking for help takes courage and by just calling you are one step closer to self-improvement. We have many years of experience counseling children, adolescents, adults and families. We specialize in neurodivergent individuals and their families. We use a variety of treatment methods that are flexible to your needs. Parent coaching for parents of neurodivergent children is offered. We work with all ages!

My practice is all about improving self-awareness, self-control, and resiliency. I also focus on strengthening overall family connection and support. I use an eclectic blend of evidence-based theories and experiential practice. That means using the best of science in ways that are real, relevant and in-the-moment.

It takes courage to reach out for assistance. I acknowledge that, and welcome you to an environment that asks questions, and promotes change! In my practice, I strive to make the client feel safe, comfortable, and understood from the moment we meet. The quality of the connection between the client and the therapist is fundamental to emotional growth and genuine change. I understand that there are certain feelings, problems, relationship dynamics and behaviors that one would like to feel better about as soon as possible. My practice does not ignore one's need for change in the here and now!

I work with people who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and other emotional/relational difficulties, particularly those struggles that are long-standing and unchanging. While symptom relief is the initial focus, my goal is to also help people understand why they began struggling in the first place, with the hopes the symptoms do not return. Psychoanalysis and psychotherapy can help address wounds related to a person's family of origin or other relationships. Each treatment is tailored to the individual rather than a "one size fits all" approach.
