Domestic Abuse Therapists in East Dallas, Dallas, TX

It is my belief that psychotherapy has the best chance to be effective when the client and therapist have a strong therapeutic alliance. That is, they have a good working relationship and are working toward exactly the same goals using methods or approaches best suited for the client. I strive to achieve this by providing a warm and safe climate, listening closely to the needs of my clients, and discussing our options and strategies.

Feeling stuck in life and disconnected from what is meaningful? Have moments in what seems like an infinite loop of obsessive ruminations in which you replay the same thoughts over and over? Or perhaps it’s a cycle of repetitive behavior(s), self-sabotage, and/or relationships that you can’t seem to break the pattern from? I believe that when we lose connection to our authentic selves (who we really are) , we face all kinds of issues including anxiety, depression, unfulfilling relationships, addictive behavioral patterns, obsessive thoughts, stress, despair, and hopelessness. No worries, it's never too late and I can help!

I'm ready to be on your team! Therapy should be a collaboration between you and your therapist. YOU are the expert on you. And I would love to be on your team. If you have experienced scary or painful experiences that you just can't seem to move on from, I can help you with this! I have a long background of working with people who have experienced abuse in relationships and significant past childhood traumas. I have also worked with many people who have experienced religious trauma or changes in their faith that have impacted their worldview and would love to help you with this!

My practical view of the function of counseling is as a journey of self-exploration by the client, meant to increase his/her level of self-understanding and self-awareness. I as counselor act as the guide or facilitator of this journey. On some level of consciousness based on his/her experience in life, I believe the client is in possession of the answers to his questions. It is my job to make those answers explicit. It is my job to help clients identify, develop, and mobilize their own resources to successfully solve problems and meet challenges.

As a therapist with 20 years of experience, I offer support, empathy, guidance and a safe space to explore any problem you may bring, big or small. Together we can work to identify your goals and find solutions to any issues you are currently facing. I work with adults and adolescents with a wide range of issues including but not limited to anxiety, phobias, depression, bipolar disorder, LGBTQIA, personality disorders, chronic pain, sexual abuse, trauma, job stress and relationship difficulties.

I am Peggy Cockrell-Phife. I have an MA from SMU, and post graduate work from Amberton University. I have passion for the interface of psychology with culture, the arts and philosophy. I recently became a Certified Expressive Arts Practioner, which allowed me to improve my therapeutic skills through the use of visual, intuitive, written and performing arts.

My practice focuses on adults struggling with addiction, domestic violence, sexual abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, parenting troubles, family of origin issues, divorce, marriage conflict, sexuality issues and feelings of emptiness. Please feel free to call for information on drug screening (SASSI) or current group openings for anger management. My office is located in The Reeder Energy Building at 4925 Greenville Avenue near Central Expressway and Lovers Lane. The Reeder Building is handicapped and DART accessible

Hello! I've been a therapist in Dallas for more than twenty years, and in that time, I've helped hundreds of people overcome the obstacles that stood in the way of their happiness. These issues include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, substance abuse, and trauma-related issues, among others. I believe the strongest tool a therapist has is a caring, honest therapeutic relationship with the client. If you are ready to take a positive step in finding fulfillment, then I'm ready to help.

First things first... You are not "broken"; there is not something "wrong" with you. Oh yeah, and you're not "crazy." We all develop views of the world and coping behaviors based on our life experiences. It's what your brain does naturally to help you adapt and survive! I enjoy helping my clients become aware of these skills and utilize them effectively. Simultaneously, I enjoy aiding clients in the development of new skills and tools to assist in places where the old ones just aren't working anymore.

My primary job as a therapist is to learn your unique story so that I can understand your views and lived experiences. I believe all behavior makes sense in context, and by working together, we can both gain awarenesses and insights as to why you may be struggling. After uncovering the "why", we will work together to find healing, growth, and more adaptive coping skills. I am a firm believer in the mind-body connection and believe that our lifestyle and environment have a huge impact on our mental health. These beliefs inform my work as a therapist.

When real life hits...I work with clients who are dealing with complicated real life issues: anger management, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, marital problems, adolescent issues and behavioral problems, chemical dependency, divorce recovery, trauma recovery, addictions and compulsive behaviors, and behavioral issues, providing prenatal and postpartum counseling.

I believe that my role is to help you harness your inner knowledge and strength so that you can be the best version of yourself possible. Since my goal is to create an individualized counseling experience, I take an eclectic approach, drawing from different schools of thought when working with my clients. Some of my areas of expertise include: anxiety, depression, play therapy, parenting, trauma, domestic abuse, communication skills building, acculturation issues, anger management, stress management, personal growth, and self-esteem building.
