Therapists in North Dallas, Dallas, TX

My approach to psychological healing is compassionate, challenging, holistic, and tailored to each and every client. I believe it takes a consistent and cognitive approach to changing difficult habits, and self-destructive behaviors. I work with adults, parents, couples, teens and children. Families are our dearest people and yet sometimes everyone needs to be reset. Dynamics can be changed and families strengthened by changing our communication patterns. Creating spaces for handling crisis is a keen focus of mine. Teens have also been a particular focus in my practice and I have a clear success rate in how these sensitive young people have evolved after therapy. .

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Hey there! I'm glad you're taking the time and effort to pour back into yourself. When life gets overwhelming, we sometimes turn to self neglect instead of self love and empowerment. I'm here to help! My approach as a therapist, stems from strengths-based and family systems models which means I strive to honor a client's full self, identifying strengths and learning new skills during the healing process. I believe that you have the power to make the changes you wish to see in your life. Together we can unpack and explore your full self and discuss strategies for stoking the fire of hope and change.

Starting the counseling journey can feel daunting for many reasons, one of which is making the decision to confront the issues that have kept you feeling stuck. You may not have been equipped to identify or engage with your emotions in a healthy way, which can lead to relational conflict or behaviors you wish you could change. Perhaps living in Dallas has contributed to a sense of discontentment, as you find yourself measuring your life against a standard of success that doesn't feel attainable.

Everyone needs someone in their life to help validate their feelings and experiences. Sometimes we may feel depressed or anxious without knowing the reason. This is not uncommon and talking to a therapist can help. I use a holistic approach while providing a safe space with acceptance of who you are. I help my clients create goals for themselves and we work on them together. Past experiences include working at community mental health clinics, community colleges, and universities, as well as private practice.

Anxiety & Depression can make you feel defeated in so many areas of life, I know this from personal and professional experience. I entered the Counseling field 12 years ago because I know what it’s like to struggle with mental health afflictions and constantly feel trapped by my emotions. After learning healthier strategies and reaping the benefits, it seemed natural to dedicate my life towards helping others acquire emotional health. There is hope for lasting change, and YOU are worth the investment. Remind yourself of those two things when your feelings may be telling you otherwise.

Nothing tugs at your heart more than seeing your child struggle—and not knowing how to help. Children often don’t have the words to explain what they’re feeling, but as a parent, you just know when something’s not quite right. I work with children ages 2 to 10 and their families in individual and group settings to support challenges like ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, emotional regulation, and social skills. I also offer ADHD and autism assessments to help guide therapy and give families clearer direction. My play therapy approach is personalized, playful (of course!), and grounded in cognitive behavioral strategies.

I work with adult individuals who struggle with heightened emotional responses, relationship issues, and trauma. I also work with individuals who identify as Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and are in recovery from emotional abuse. You may feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster or find it difficult to cope with what you feel others see as “normal” life struggles. You may also find it difficult to set boundaries, feel anxious/overwhelmed with certain relationships and struggle with guilt, shame and invalidation. If this sounds like you, we may be a good fit.

I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and unhealthy relational patterns, helping them to identify and change the obstacles and patterns that are getting in their way. Clients often come in feeling like life is overwhelming and they are not managing work, school, friendships and relationships well, despite their best intentions and efforts. Often these patterns are so ingrained that we are not aware of another way of interacting or seeing our core beliefs. Therapy can increase insight and help to resolve and heal the underlying issues, creating the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Sometimes, our mind can stop us from taking necessary steps in our day to day lives or in making big decisions. You might find yourselves feeling really stuck or you might notice difficulty sleeping or excess tension in your body. You might find that your thoughts go back to the same worry over and over again while you’re trying to enjoy time with friends, family, or even watching TV. You’re not alone in this feeling; I am here to help. Asking for help can be challenging, and there may be a myriad of reasons that keep us from reaching out. Some of us fear stigma, while others believe that needing support is a sign of weakness.

Being a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for many years, I have enjoyed a type of therapy that allows an individual to find freedom through acceptance of their issues rather than running from the reality of their existence. As we come to understand our past and how it has shaped us, we can then begin the practice of choosing differently for ourselves in the present and for our future. This search is a sacred process where therapist and client join together, rather than a therapy done 'to' you as a client. I would like to join in that process with you!

Relationships and human connections are very important to most people. Communication and interaction with others is not always as easy as you and I wish. Life circumstances and our personalities influence the way we all cope with life and relationships. If your life is not what you want it to be today, you are not flawed or need 'to be fixed' in some way, but you can learn to understand yourself better and change perspectives to create a happier life, one more suited for you.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don't believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

I guarantee you are not alone, no matter what you might be carrying. In both assessment and psychotherapy, I emphasize a relational, person-centered approach. In therapy, we will work together to heal from hardships and traumatic experiences. The goal is to empower you with the tools you need to regain hope and carry on, no matter how dark the experiences have colored your world. The wound is the place where the light enters you (Rumi). Objective information gathered from assessments helps bring the missing pieces together to complete the puzzle of mental/physical health complexities. I work with children, adolescents, and adults.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
