Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Northeast Dallas, Dallas, TX

Hi! I'm Angela. You are ready to dig deep and face all the avoidance in your life and feel those damn feels so you can embody your life without disordered eating, over working, or panic attacks? Do you want to feel at home in your body? Are you tired and burned out of the energy it takes to hate your body and obsess about food? Are you want to experience the magic of yoga and meditation to help you with just "being."? Are you desiring a life with boundaries around work so you can continue to explore your passion? If you answered yes to any of these I know I can help.

Welcome! I create a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore past and present life experiences. My goal is to work with you to become your best self, defined by you. I view therapy as a collaborative journey in which the therapeutic process will help you find self-acceptance and healing. I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking beside them as they work through life's challenges.

I’m skilled at wading into real life pain and struggles including conflict patterns, depression, anxiety, anger and irritability, bereavement, self-doubt, directionlessness and indecision, fear and insecurity, and suicidal thinking. I work with individuals and couples who are struggling and need support, hope, and a helping hand in becoming self-aware.

Stormy and racing thoughts. Emotional pain. Old hurts. Worries about the future. Quick to anger or to run. Behavioral habits blocking the life you want. These are the kinds of life challenges that I specialize in working with using evidence-based methods to help you build the highest expression of YOUR life. YOU are the expert in your life. That being said, like mountain climbers on adjacent mountains, a therapist can help you see terrain on your mountain that you might not be able to see from your position on it. I particularly have specialized in areas around partner violence, anger/aggression, and trauma.

I work with adults (21+) whose presenting concerns are most often related to anxiety, depression, grief, spirituality, "religious deconstruction," "purity culture," "religious reconstruction," sexuality, and relationships. My guiding therapeutic modalities are attachment-focused and trauma-informed (advanced training in Somatic Experiencing). I am also trained in ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (and EFIT), and the Gottman Method for couples. My practice is open to people of every religious tradition and people with no religious affiliation. I welcome married and unmarried couples into couple therapy.

Jasmin is a passionate mental health therapist who has over three years of experience providing a safe space for adults who are seeking help with disordered eating, body image, childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Are you in a relationship, but somehow feel lonely? Do you find yourself struggling with boundaries, communication, self-esteem, and conflict? I’m excited to help you develop the skills necessary to navigate dating and relationships more effectively. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and I’m excited to assist you with your personal, career, mental, and emotional needs. Since you are reading this, that means you are considering creating a new narrative to manifest the future and the relationships you have always dreamt for yourself and/or your family. Investing in your future now is key. Let’s get started!

My counseling practice focuses on adolescent and adults with a specialized focus on LGBTQ+ populations. As a gay man, I am held by deeply spiritual beliefs to help my LGBTQ+ community whenever possible. I also treat addiction, dual-diagnosis, spirituality, anxiety, gender identity, depression, divorce, grief and those who are recovering from religious abuse. I meet clients where they are in life and that is always my starting point while building a relationship to facilitate change.

Being fully transparent, the goal of therapy is to not need therapy forever! The goal is to learn skills to utilize so that in the future when issues arise, you are already prepared with how to handle them! Change can be hard, but you’re here which means you know change is needed in some capacity. Feeling anxious? Depressed? Out of control? Confused? Let’s work on that together and get you to a more comfortable place. Please note, what skills you learn in therapy, you’ll have to practice in your daily life to see change!

Greetings! I'm Sasha My name is Sasha Douglas, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults specializing in anxiety, stress, depression, and eating disorders. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for young adults to a geriatric population who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions.

School, jobs, friends, partners, family - Life can be messy and overwhelming, and being human comes with personal struggle. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or significant life changes, making the decision to ask for help takes courage and is the hardest and most important step. Sometimes it takes looking at a hopeless situation from a different angle to figure out how best to change. That's where I can help. My passion to empathize with and validate your experience is my driving force as your counselor.

As a Cognitive Behavioral therapist, I work with clients to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that maintain suffering, interfere with quality of life, and inhibit day to day functioning. Along with CBT, I specialize in several evidence-based treatment modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe in “using what works” and designing interventions that are personalized to each client’s needs. This approach provides clients with a unique skillset that will continuously aid in personal growth and development across the lifespan.

My clients come from diverse backgrounds but all have one thing in common: they are bound by past traumas that continue to control their present day. My primary theoretical approach is one of interpersonal and holistic psychology that draws from acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic, existential, feminist, and multicultural counseling work. I use meditative practice and applied mindfulness as well as a holistic trauma model to allow my clients to find peace within themselves while also equipping them with the skills needed to continue their personal growth after therapy is complete.

If you are struggling to control your unwanted sexual behaviors, despite your best efforts, and it has put significant strain on relationships, family, job, or other areas of your life: I see you. I have walked the road you are on - successfully - and look forward sharing the way through with you. Sexuality is a normal, healthy part of adult life that can increase your emotional intimacy, strengthen your sense of self-image, and act as a buffer to outside stressors. In short, sex matters. But when sexual behaviors become compulsive, destructive, or illegal, it's time to get help.

Chronic pain and illness can impact all aspects of a person’s life. They can be physically and mentally debilitating and directly affect relationships, work, finances, confidence, and ability to complete even simple daily tasks. If you are having trouble managing symptoms of pain, illness, side effects from treatment, or feeling stressed, worried, or isolated, you are not alone. Millions of people are struggling with health issues, and those around them don’t always understand, don’t know how to help, or both. It can be overwhelming and difficult to handle on your own.

When your body is in distress, your mind and mood suffer. Whether you want to address your weight, pain, disordered eating, stress, living with a chronic disease, recovering from an illness, or adjusting to a new medical condition, I can help. I also support care partners of those with chronic illness. As a board-certified rehabilitation psychologist, I emphasize a holistic approach to well-being and support people in leading a values-filled life that recognizes personal strengths, reduces shame and promotes self-compassion, encourages collaboration, and meets you where you are non-judgmentally.
