LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Euless, TX

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.

Are you scared to be the real you? Do you long for a satisfying relationship? What would you be capable of if you could let go of what’s not working for you?

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.

I know it can be difficult to find someone you really feel safe with, who you can trust, who won't judge you. I'd be honored to be that person. As someone who works with the whole person, I understand the importance of religion within all faith groups. I also love working with those who identify as poly, LGBTQIA +, and in the kink community. If you're currently in a place where you're thinking, "I don't know if I can do this anymore" or if you sometimes wonder if you're "too broken" to feel better, don't give up. You've taken the first step to getting help. You are worth following through and seeing what the next steps can offer.

Have you had a situation happen that has caused deep emotional or physical pain? Has the pain been pushing you to the breaking point? Pain can come in many forms both emotional and physical and the strategies we use to deal with it often make the problem worse rather than better. Are you unsure what to do or where to go? Is your desire to get out of the pain but you are afraid that it can't get better? I can tell you from experience that ignoring it doesn't help but I do know that there are lots of strategies to get through it. I’d like the opportunity to show you how to turn your breakdown into a BREAKTHROUGH!

Hello You, yes You! Has life gotten you tired? Overworked? Stressed out? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you have come to the right profile. Let us tell you how we can help. Throughout our journey of life, we can experience some hard hits that will prevent us from moving forward without stumbling or feeling stuck. It is difficult to go through this journey without the assistance of someone who is not attached to your journey. The therapists at Balance Beacon offer clients a space to share the most difficult parts of themselves.

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.

I work under the motto, "The sun will rise and set regardless. What we choose to do with the light while its here is up to us..." I fully believe in journeying with my clients through treatment. I truly enjoy working with my clients on the variety of life's ups and downs. Generally, most of my work is with adults; however, I also see adolescents beginning at 16-years-old. Over the years, I have worked with depression, anxiety, trauma, and some of the more severe mental health problems. My other experience includes working with self-harm and suicidal behaviors, as well as behavior management.

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.

Are you dealing with symptoms associated with trauma, addictions or anxiety? Have you notice that you have little or no memories, trouble sleeping or concentrating? Is there increased stress in your life due to feeling emotionally overwhelm, depression, self destructive behavior, loss of sense of "who you are"? If so, I'd like to help you. I will focus on helping you cope with difficult feelings that can occur when faced with trauma or challenging life changes. Working together, I can help you learn ways to feel more in control, reduce your stress, improve your relationships, and reclaim joy and hope in your life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) who believes in internal power and strength. It may feel like internal power and strength is non-existent because there are times when situations and circumstances seem to get the best of life. A way of escape may be to indulge in unhealthy habits (such as substances) that make things worse. This is where I can be of assistance because I work with individuals struggling with addictions (ages 18-65). If you need help in this area, therapy can be scary but courageous and a necessary step for you.

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 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.

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 believe in meeting clients where they are at emotionally and helping them and their parents reach their goals. Through a positive relationship with my client I try to help them gain insight into their desire to belong and have significance. I continually work to create a supportive environment for children in order for the child to gain insight and understanding into their unique world. With insight the child and therapist can collaborate to reduce the child's current stressors possibly leading to problematic behaviors.

I believe that seeking counseling reveals great strength. Getting help for life’s most difficult problems does not mean that you are broken or ‘crazy’. You are putting in the difficult work and I look forward to walk alongside you on this journey. Counseling is a journey and it can be difficult. Despite the difficult conversations, the healing and rediscovery of self is rewarding in very powerful in tangible ways.

I offer Saturday and weekday evening appointments.  I use a strengths-based systemic approach to therapy helping individuals, couples and families explore moments when problems arise within their relationships. I work with clients to explore all factors in their lives that might be contributing to the problem as well as helping to achieve goals in finding a solution. Problems aren’t born in a vacuum so I look to see what else in one’s life might have significance in reducing the issues you face. I offer a non-judgmental environment to help you find your own voice and help to provide necessary tools to move forward.
