Sexual Abuse Therapists in Colleyville, TX

My passion is to identify the root cause of distress and resolve the issues that may be preventing you from experiencing life to the fullest. Clients come to me for a multitude of reasons: they are experiencing on-going distress, they have experienced recent or past trauma, they are struggling in their relationship/marriage, or they are seeking personal growth and development. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, my aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you will be offered respect, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have earned a Bachelors in Psychology and Masters in Counseling at Dallas Baptist University. My love for people is why I felt led to this field.

Dr. Storey’s approach to psychotherapy aims to provide the dual approach of providing symptom relief, and diving into the root of each individual’s presenting concern. She views psychotherapy as a means to help individuals make sense of wants and needs, and to advocate for a way of being that feels empowering and in connection with their own values. She can help with identification of triggers, improving coping skills, and enhancing relaxation skills. Dr. Storey is currently accepting appointments for individual psychotherapy and couples/marital counseling, ages 18 and up, in our Southlake office, or via Telehealth.

Indeed, we all have hurts that need attention and we do not always know how to do that. I believe we were created for relationships and at times those relationships or how we are going about them can be unhealthy. Due to that, we have adapted and learned coping mechanisms that have allowed us to function and move on. However, those coping mechanisms can stop working after a while and this is what creates an imbalance in our system that we need to make right or it can begin to generate stresses that spill over into other aspects of our lives.

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.

All couples have arguments. What matters is what happens when you and your spouse disagree. Do you go round and round with no resolution? Or does one of you stop talking when the other gets frustrated, then you both stop talking? If so, you may wonder if your relationship can be fixed. I have good news. Your relationship is not broken, but it is caught in a negative cycle. This negative cycle keeps you from being able to communicate, resolve conflict, and discuss problems. If your relationship is struggling, it is probably because you are caught in a negative cycle. I want to help you and your spouse overcome the negative cycle.

We will provide you with the experience of being heard, walking through your story, finding and accepting your true self, and working together to navigate the twists and turns that life brings. We match each client to the best therapist for their needs, personality and avaliablility for therapy.
