Therapists in Wedgwood, Fort Worth, TX

Accepting new clients; availability on evenings/weekends. Supervised by Dr. Misti Sparks, LMFT-S. I love working with couples - communication & conflict, infidelity & betrayal, family growth & marital change. I have a lot of experience with adolescents and young adults; and I've walked with many people through crises, loss, and life changes. I am a big believer that unresolved stuff from our past - family of origin issues, abuse and trauma, core beliefs, etc. - shows up in and affects our present. I hope therapy helps people come to terms with the past, and address concerns of the present, so they can have a healthier future.

Sometimes life can be an uncharted journey and you find yourself stuck and feeling helpless, and without hope. I can help you to identify some of the roadblocks that are preventing you from moving forward. Let me help you get a plan to navigate the journey to find your new destiny and to discover a new you. I work best with individual's that are experiencing issues where they have found themselves facing limitations and not being able to find a way to move forward. Imagine you went to sleep, and you woke up and your whole outlook had changed for the better; let me help you discover what that new person in you would feel like.

Congratulations on taking the first and often the most difficult step towards discovering a happier and healthier you! Whether you have experienced trauma, are facing challenging relationships, or are struggling with day-to-day living, depression or anxiety, I look forward to helping you learn to manage your thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a healthy way. Focusing on adults, I will use the therapeutic approach that best suits your needs in order to help you reach your goals for therapy. I am looking forward to helping you live your best life!

Many challenges have underlying causes, and one's willingness to explore the deeper ends of who they are often provides an unexpected resolution beyond what could have been imagined initially. At the same time, it can also help to address what is at hand while being patient with more in-depth work. My goal in therapy is to follow my clients' needs and help them rediscover their wellbeing on their timeline while providing support and practical insight into their process.

People should live happier, healthier lives. That is what all people want and deserve. My focus is on helping people achieve ALL of their goals. Everyone goes through tough times. Some people go through them on their own, but sometimes it takes a professional, unbiased perspective to help. People are the result of both nature (inherited traits) and nurture (environment) which form lenses through which we perceive the world. Through life experience, lenses can become scratched or cloudy. Bring the drive to improve and I will provide the experience, empathy, and knowledge. Let's make them clear again, together, as a team!

Do you feel worn down or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to make it through the day while not having enough energy for what you have to get done? We can work on a better way. One that is more healthy with alternatives you may or may not see now. Would you like to get to a place with less "noise" in your head? Let me help you find a version of yourself that is more relaxed, calmer, focused, accomplished, and empowered. Together we can work for you to feel capable, lighter, and free. A version removed from the weight of burdens.

Don't settle for a generic drug and alcohol therapist. You deserve help that actually helps you feel happy again. (And, that's in-network with your insurance).

What would you be capable of if you could let go of what’s not working for you?

Hello, It takes courage to speak with a therapist, so I commend you for taking this first step to look for help. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive, genuine and warm space for you to seek and get the help that you need in therapy. I am trained in cognitive and behavioral therapy, but I take an eclectic approach to helping my patients. What this means is that I believe there is not a "one size fits all" way to provide therapy. A skilled therapist should adapt the therapy they provide to each client's individual needs.

Recognizing that your mental health is just as important as your physical health displays valuable insight. Asking for help does not suggest that you are weak, nor does it suggest that you are unable to handle your own concerns. In fact, your even considering therapy demonstrates self-awareness and suggests that you are ready to develop new strategies that will equip you with tools necessary to identify triggers, repair damaging patterns, and manage challenges that you may face. The aim of therapy is to thrive…to go forward renewed, equipped and empowered to advance with new life tools and greater insight.

Beginning therapy can be a big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible—no matter what challenges you may be facing. Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviors and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships, and more. I truly believe that therapy can be a transformative and empowering experience, and I am honored to be a part of your journey towards self-discovery and emotional well-being. Taking this step is an act of self-care, and I commend you for your willingness to invest in yourself.

Family Therapy is successful with a wide variety of symptoms and problems. Often people seek out services that can isolate them and their problems from the context that it is existing in. I specialize in working with troubled youth and their families, I also see couples and parents with youth challenges. My focus is on modifying family and outside interactions, in order to create a context that produces well being for all. My professional training and education has been in psychology and marriage and family therapy. I have worked systemically with individuals, couples, families, and groups in agencies, schools, and private practice.

Though we may know that healing is nonlinear, we often feel pressured to hide our messy reality beneath a socially acceptable mask. We may internalize the “should”s and “shouldn’t”s and find ourselves lost in a sea of well-intentioned platitudes, unsure how to navigate life’s twists and turns. My approach is to meet you where you are and walk with you on your journey so that you don’t have to do it alone.

Hello, my name is Tiesha Gardner. I came into the beautiful world of counseling by way of education. I was an educator for 8 years. As an educator, students always found their way to me, students that I didn't even teach were seeking me for guidance, advice, or just simply a listening ear. It was then that I knew that God was leading me down a path to help people in a different way. As a therapist, I understand that there are times in our lives where we may find ourselves in a place or position that may be hard to come out of alone. The good news is that you are NOT alone, and that I would love to help you begin the process.

Do you feel "stuck" and don't know where to begin to get "unstuck"? Does everything feel overwhelming and hard? Well, I want to let you know you don't have to figure it all out on your own. I want to applaud you for taking this first step in your vulnerability. Together in session, I believe I am able to help you begin the process of understanding your world and the things that are making it hard to enjoy your life.
