Therapists in Denton, TX

Does your inner-critic scream when you make a mistake? Do people seem to like you more than you like yourself? Maybe you just feel lost, wanting things to be different even though you don't know exactly what that means. That’s okay. Life can be challenging, but challenging is not impossible. Sometimes, we just need some support. I would like to offer you my support in a space where you can feel free to be who you are, free from the pressure of who you're supposed to be, and free to discover what's important to you. Let's work together to identify the changes you want to make in life so you can work on making them.

Hello, my name is Charles Plafcan, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 11 years of clinical experience working with various individuals with Aging, Alzheimer's, Depression, Grief, and many more. My Clinical approaches are CBT, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I believe that you will succeed if you keep yourself up and going and function fully in your life despite the pandemic.

I am now accepting new clients for both in-person and virtual sessions! I am passionate about de-stigmatizing mental health and helping to make services accessible to all populations.

I work with individuals who are struggling with a myriad of different concerns. PTSD, trauma, grief/loss, severe anxiety, phobias, dissociative disorders, traumatic and acquired brain injuries, addiction, and depression, just to name a few. I have experience working with military veterans, first-responders, those that have experienced abuse, or human trafficking, those struggling with addiction, and those in the LGBT+ community.

My interaction with clients is collaborative and empowering. I believe that we humans are intended to lead fulfilling lives, and that inside each of us is a "wise counselor", access to which is often blocked by obscured wounds. I believe that symptoms of those wounds show up in our lives as addictions, eating disorders, co-dependency, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and/or a sense of "restricted" living. I believe that my own "journey" is useful in helping people find clarity around their wounds, and discover new and increasing levels of personal choice and freedom of expression.

Are you feeling stuck and looking for a way to turn your momentum in a positive direction? I help people identify where they're getting stuck and how to move forward. I help people with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and spiritual and existential concerns as well as with difficulties adjusting to major life changes. For those who have already done a lot of therapy and/or a lot of self-analysis, I can provide insight, presence, and techniques that help resolve long-standing, and sometimes subtle, issues.

You know all the right things to do, exercise, hobbies, spending time with friends and family, but something is still wrong. You feel like you should be enjoying time with your loved ones but can’t figure out why you don’t. You wonder where the “you” you used to know has gone. You don’t know who you are outside of who you love or what you do. You know what you’re required to do but not what you want to do. You started your career with the belief that you would make a difference in the broken system only to realize that you are now feeling broken.

I believe that each person seeking counseling has come to a point in life where the desire to change, heal, and grow outweighs the comfort & familiarity of staying the same. Each day, truth or lies are ruling our mind, will, & emotions. It shows up in the way we feel about ourselves, others, & the world around us. It is a great joy for me to work with individuals, couples, & families in an atmosphere of safety, deep compassion, and non-judgement to bring about real change, healing, & growth.
