Therapists in Denton, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who is passionate about helping others live a life of purpose and meaning. I utilize a variety of evidence-based psychotherapy techniques as well as incorporating a biblical, faith-based perspective when desired by my clients. I strive to honor and respect my clients regardless of their personal belief system. I am grateful to have the opportunity to come alongside you and help you navigate through life’s difficult seasons and transitions in a way that promotes authentic happiness, health, and healing.

In therapy, I enjoy walking alongside my clients as they experience growth and healing in their lives. We are not what happened to us, we are not a diagnosis, but we are humans who are capable of so many great things and to live a life that we love. I went into this field not to tell people how to fix their lives (which I won’t) but how to create their own change with guidance and exploration. We are in this together and you are not alone.

Hello! My name is Linda. I recognize how much courage it takes to reach out and begin this journey of healing. I strive to provide a safe space for individuals to feel heard, and supported as they begin their journey of healing.

I started Brighten Counseling & Associates because of my passion and desire of wanting to help others heal, overcome obstacles, and progress along life's journey. I am dedicated to serving all client's regardless of race, gender, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, creed, or religious affiliation.

Traditional talk therapy doesn't always give us the results we want, especially when working with trauma. I work best with clients who prefer a direct approach and have been trying to heal from trauma for a prolonged period of time without a lot of results. I found that spirituality is an important part of the trauma healing process. To me, spirituality looks like connecting with nature and the earth and expands beyond the traditional perspectives. Trauma often comes with addictions and I do not take the abstinence-only perspective on addiction and tend to emphasize harm reduction as an alternative.

In today's fast-paced society, it is hard to feel heard. Life can be tough and struggles are challenging to overcome alone. My top priority is to provide you with a safe space to find hope and relief. I believe clients play an expert role in their life. My job is to listen and make observations that will help you gain perspective. I value the combined effort between client and counselor. Together we will explore how you see the world and construct a treatment plan based on your specific goals. My approaches to counseling include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered and solution focused therapy.

My primary role as your therapist is to help you determine what sort of life you want to live and help you to create it. I don't use a 'one size fits all' approach but a mixed Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral approach rooted in Family Systems Theory. I also work with the family courts as a treating expert, a very different role than that of a traditional psychotherapist. As a forensically-informed Collaborative Divorce Mental Health Professional, Parenting Facilitator/Coordinator, Reunification Therapist, and New Ways for Families Parent Educator, I will use my knowledge to help you satisfy requirements in a legal setting.

I work with adolescents and adults who look to resolve struggles with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsions, complex trauma, childhood trauma, dissociation, and addiction. As part of the LGBTQ+ community, I work to make sessions safe, affirming, and welcoming. I meet people where they are, as the experts of their lives, and how they want to express themselves.

Dang, you find yourself tired and devastated. All day long you worry about whether you are doing and being enough. That inner voice keeps whispering or screaming that nothing you do is enough.
