Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Vickery Meadow, Dallas, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with teens and adults who struggle with behavior and emotional problems, including anger management, substance issues, anxiety, depression and other issues. I can help you work through these issues to move on to a better life for yourself and your family. Working side-by-side, I will help you find acceptance for unchangeable life circumstances and work on behavioral strategies to overcome those challenges you can learn to change. Together, we will help you learn that you can find relief from suffering and move on to a life you are proud of!

I am passionate about working with individuals across the lifespan. Everyone is unique, and I approach therapy in a way that fosters that individuality to create growth. My style is strength-focused, warm, attentive, and thoughtful. I believe in therapy that emphasizes trust, safety, acceptance, understanding, and empathy. I strive to create a safe space and develop a collaborative and integrative approach to help you identify patterns, work on interpersonal struggles, facilitate self-reflection, and foster self-awareness.

You feel like anxiety has crept into all areas of your life. You avoid decisions or situations that feel overwhelming, and instead turn to any distraction (mindless eating, social media, drinking, etc.) you can find to avoid the shame and guilt of not moving forward. Maybe you're struggling with body image and wonder if you're relationship with food is normal. If you're in a relationship, maybe you feel disconnected from your partner and don't feel heard, much less understood. You avoid topics of conversation like intimacy, needs or finances because it always ends in conflict.

Accept, choose, and take action. Those are key components of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) style I embrace. ACT therapy encourages individuals to both seek a deeper understanding of occasional unpleasant realities in the world and choose to develop new behaviors which allow them to interact more successfully within that world. Because anxiety, depression and stress can interfere with living an enriched, meaningful life and realizing your valued goals, ACT serves as a way to "reboot" your thinking. In addition, I have been trained in both Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-focused Therapy.

Maybe you struggle with depression & feelings of hopelessness or crying spells. Or you might deal with anxiety & intense fears or panic attacks. I can help you gain insight into your experience & reroute thought patterns so you'll feel better. You may seek to improve the most important relationships in your life—with your partner, your teenager, your elderly parents, or yourself. We can work toward greater understanding & acceptance of others & yourself. Sometimes the physical, relational, & psychological issues that bring you to therapy are rooted in unprocessed wounds or trauma. We can change your story from pain to healing.

Welcome! I’m glad you are here. My specialties include helping clients navigate life transitions, improve their relationships, and cope with chronic illness or injuries. During our work together, you can count on me to be present and supportive in your journey. I will be available to listen without judgment. We will work together to cultivate acceptance and compassion for your emotions, while also working to create meaningful change in patterns or behaviors that are no longer serving you.

Are you feeling unsure about how to handle new situations or resolve old problems? Feeling beaten down or overwhelmed by life? Do you feel as though your emotional imbalance is getting in the way of relationships, work, or your physical health? Working with an experienced professional can help you navigate the ups and downs on your life's path with more ease and acceptance, allowing you to make positive, lasting changes. My practice offers psychotherapy and wellness presentations for adults seeking greater clarity, balance, and contentment in their lives. Are you curious to see what changes could happen for you?

Now Accepting New Clients. Are you interested in creating change and moving forward? People seek therapy for many reasons. Some struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health disorders; others need a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings. Our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are connected and sometimes become so intense that we reach a breaking point. Together, we can create a safe haven, explore patterns, build a toolbox with coping skills, and enhance your resilience. I utilize mindfulness-based exercises and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and foster acceptance, change, and commitment.

Life problems, depression, anxiety, grief, and anger are just some of the issues that adults face every day. In my practice, clients are valued, respected, and included as partners in their treatment and recovery. Together, we explore your issues and build a plan with measurable objectives that guide us as we work to heal identified hurts, clear confusing thoughts and decrease stress. When clients are motivated to make changes in their lives, we can work together to build new habits and ways of thinking that lead to recovery and peace. Some clients request testing to better understand their personality and issues and I offer that.

Hi, I am Yajie. Ever feel like life's a bit of a juggling act, pulling you in all sorts of directions? It happens. Work, relationships, and taking care of yourself can be a lot to handle. If you're finding it tough to be kind to yourself, I get it. In our talks, I want to help you sort through things. I use a mix of ideas from different types of therapy. We'll chat about the big questions in life—what gives it meaning, how free we are to make choices, and what responsibilities we have. This helps us give more purpose and depth to what you're going through.

Overwhelmed, confused, indecisive, worried? Yes! Has anyone told you you're an overachiever/perfectionist? It often feels like a strength, a way to accomplish, be rewarded, and avoid criticism. But it also creates unnecessary stress and anxiety. Am I right? You feel stressed and don’t even know where to begin to juggle everything in your life. You find yourself feeling like it is never enough. You question yourself if you are making the right decisions for your life. You don’t want to let people down. Most importantly you don’t want to let yourself down. You have goals you want to achieve and feeling this way needs to stop.

I am currently a Group Therapist and I see clients individually as well. Now accepting online/ tele-health counseling for clients anywhere in Texas (DFW, Houston, San Antonio, Austin).

Congratulations on taking the first step to a journey of healing that you won’t regret. You are at the right place at the right time so, EXHALE! Life is full of ups and downs and sometimes we just need a safe space to express and explore our emotions. There is nothing wrong with getting some help along the way on the rollercoaster ride of life. I work with individuals ready to do the work required to become the best version of themselves. This includes addressing generational trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, perfectionism, anxiety and poor boundaries.

My job is to provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment to help you find balance so you can start feeling like yourself again. Whether you're going through a tough life transition, struggling in your relationship or wanting to let go of unhealthy habits, we can take steps forward together.

Change is a natural part of life, and yet it can be challenging and even, at times, paralyzing. However, change can also provide us with opportunities to grow and become the kind of people we aim to be. Finding out what those goals are and how to get there is a collaborative process between client and therapist. I am consistently inspired by people who show resilience and persevere through very tough times as they seek solutions to their problems. I am honored to walk with them as they make that journey and I am always changed by the process as well.

Feel free to call and make an appointment as a first step into changing your life around.

If you are looking for a collaborative therapist who believes each of us holds our own answers, then I would be honored to meet you! Let’s be transparent here – I am NOT a wizard, therapy is NOT a “one session & you are fixed” process, & you ARE in charge of your life! Will it be easy? Probably not... Will it be quick?

Struggling to connect with your authentic self? Looking for a sense of peace or contentment?

We work together to help you find their best self, navigate intimacy, tackle communication issues & bridge other relationships gaps. We also work together to overcome those deeper blocks that prevent us from making lasting change.
