Family Therapists in Euless, TX

Hey there! My name is Gary McCrory and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - Associate (LMFT-A) committed to helping you rediscover your light. This means I am trained in systemic therapy, which takes into consideration multiple areas of your life to better assist you in reaching your preferred future and your best self.

Hello! How can I help you grow and develop today? My therapeutic approach is to foster authentic relationships and an environment where clients feel safe and comfortable sharing. Whether that be individually, with your significant other, or even with your family I hope to work with system to identify, heal, and develop a new relationship with life's hurdles. For clients experiencing LGBTQ+ issues I have an extensive background in that subject. Through collaboration we can use your inner strengths to form a healthier you.

I help clients (children, teens, and women) become healthy, happy, responsible, motivated, and self-disciplined. I have over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, parents, and young adults. Having served as a teacher turned school counselor, I know firsthand how challenging these formative years can be for all involved (students, parents, and educators). I know that my client's success is based upon working collaboratively with all persons involved in his or her life. Together we will explore and create healthy and positive preferred futures.

You are not your diagnosis. I focus on wholistic treatment while providing individual and family therapy in order to understand the various aspects of your mental health. My goal is to help you understand your symptoms, and help you navigate through the obstacles that may arise to return your focus to living life. We will focus on your strengths, and how to use the coping skills I will teach you to resolve any conflict. We all need help from time to time, let me be the professional support you and your family need.

Are you hurting? Confused? Afraid? Need someone to talk to who can help you process what you are experiencing? As a woman who has been married for 46 years, had 5 teenagers at once, juggled home and family , worked as an advocate and teacher, I am willing to listen well. I believe we can work together and find solutions to your life's problems and pain.

We are the expert of our lives, but at times we may need some additional support or guidance. While we often give priority to taking care of our physical health, I believe our mental and emotional health needs just as much attention.

Listening to you and being a part of your journey is my primary role. Each one of us on this earth has a unique and impactful story to tell, and I am here to be a part of your story. I recognize that you may not come to me for advice or for an opinion, but rather to share this chapter with an attentive, honest, and encouraging ear.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and a Certified Sex Therapist (CST). I received a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. I have a Master's of Education in Counseling and Human Development from Hardin-Simmons University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Abilene Christian University. My theoretical approach includes Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, focusing on resolving cognitive, emotional, and behavioral issues and facilitating individuals to lead more rational, productive, and fulfilling lives.

There is no roadmap to guide us through life. When things happen, there is no set of instructions on how to emotionally navigate various situations. Let’s face it: adulting is not easy, no matter what age you are! Life can get overwhelming sometimes. Having someone to talk to during these difficult times of life’s stressors and transitions means you don’t have to carry the weight alone. Whether you are experiencing stress, emotional pain, relational struggles, or just need support, I am here to help.

Sometimes things happen that are totally out of our control. We may try to forget about it but the reality is it will still affect us directly or indirectly. We might not know where to start but asking for help is the first step. Congratulations on taking that step! I understand that this can be a very scary step to allow someone into the most intimate part of your life, but it can also be very rewarding if you choose to trust the process.

I offer growth-oriented self-empowering interventions for overcoming whatever obstacle might have you temporarily stuck on your life's pathway. Practical, innovative, action-oriented techniques will engage your mind, body, and spirit as we work towards goals that will help you live a happier, healthier life. Treatment plans involve both your vital input and my input putting together the most effective plan for helping you achieve the changes you're looking for using combination of cognitive behavioral and solution-orientated therapy and positive psychology.

For the past 15 years, I have worked with children, youth, and families in a variety of settings. Most recently, my primary focus has been helping parents of young children strengthen their parenting skills, develop healthy coping mechanisms, model self-care, and break the cycle of multi-generational trauma.

People with underlying issues of trauma like sexual or physical abuse and neglect often seek therapy due to some other crisis, all the while knowing, somehow, that past abuse is likely a contributor to their current problems. It can be very scary to even begin thinking about how much damage has been done to the heart, body, mind and soul by the abuse, and yet there comes a time when it is imperative to start the healing process. When you finally begin working on unresolved issues a whole new way of relating to others and handling situations opens up to you. You have the opportunity to reclaim parts of you that were long ago lost.

I enjoy working with clients who are ready to make a positive change in their lives. I have experience working with individuals and families with a variety of mental health needs. I have a passion for working with couples and dedicate part of my practice specifically to couples work. Together, we will address issues regarding healthy communication, conflict resolution, finances, intimacy, and parenting.

I provide a warm, non-judgmental environment to help you explore any issues that prevent you from being all that you can be. I will help you explore your relationships, dreams and goals to get on the pathway towards personal success you have always hoped for.

ACCEPTING REFERRALS AND CLIENTS.Today's pressures are different than they used to be. Technology, social media, employment demands, corporate climbing, home, lifestyles & substances present new and different challenges. If you're struggling or stuck in some of these, let's work together to get you unstuck! Life comes at us fast, and we often find ourselves as passengers instead of drivers. I believe that successfully navigating life's challenges is driven by the choices you make and the perspectives you have.

We all face difficult and confusing times. My goal is to assist clients in a confidential and compassionate environment by providing therapy services in the home. My specialties include issues of aging, grief and bereavement, chronic illness, and life transitions. I spent many years working as a hospice social worker. It was a natural transition to have a practice that comes to the client', hopefully with dignity and humor. I have a passion for senior issues and learn from my clients daily.

I would like to congratulate you on taking the next step towards receiving help! It takes a lot of courage to reach out to someone, especially when you aren't sure what you are looking for! I am honored that you have taken the time to read my profile. As a Therapist, my main goal is to provide a safe environment that will promote healing and personal growth. I believe in working as a team to find the best therapeutic approach to help you in your journey towards healing.

As a professional counselor, I believe in the power of each individual to overcome barriers that prevent their life pathway from taking a more positive direction. I am invested in creating a calm and safe haven where growth and improvement can occur. Using a person-centered approach requires understanding the perspective patients have about issues in their lives to foster open, honest communication within a therapeutic relationship. When people feel comfortable expressing their emotions, an effective counselor is able to gain knowledge of how that person views their problems.
