My name is Conor Hawley I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I enjoy working with both adults and

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” I love this saying. It makes the unreachable seem reachable--if even one small step at a time. As long as you’re making a step--no matter how small--in the right direction, you’re making progress. If you continue long enough, you will see a difference. I use this approach, coupled with solution-focused therapy, in how I work with clients. Together, we’ll make what you want a reality. We’ll take the small step approach (although big steps are fine, too!) and utilize the strengths you already have.

I worked at
Children
's Hospital Dallas in the Eating Disorders Program.
In our lives, there is not always an obvious path. Choices and decisions can be extremely confusing. You may wonder, "How did I end up here?" Therapy can offer incredibly important moments of reflection and insight. My goal, as your therapist, is to invite you into the process of paying attention, being heard, and discovering your needs. Therapy requires trust, and the relationship that emerges between us will hopefully be significant and meaningful in your life.

At times life provides us with the opportunities that enable us to grow and accomplish. However, at times it also presents itself in the form of a challenge. These life events can take a toll on our mental health and leave us feeling hopeless, unmotivated, lost, and stuck. I am passionate and confident in my ability to make a difference in the life of my clients. Having been through many touch patches myself, I understand well the importance of regaining one's own sense of purpose, strength, and dignity. I have experiences working with both
children
and adults using individual and family therapy modalities.

I love working with
children
, adolescents and adults who know a better life is possible, but lack the tools, self-esteem and/or support needed to overcome old patterns and create a new way of being. The kids I support in the playroom often struggle to communicate, manage their behavior, exhibit confidence, problem solve and positively relate to others. Adolescents and adults I serve may have experienced harmful relationships, traumatic events, or notice difficulties feeling comfortable in their own skin. It would be an honor to accompany you on life's journey of ups and downs as you heal the past and work toward a brighter future.

I have worked extensively with
children
of all ages and have found a particular fondness for working with adolescents.
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.

Child Therapists
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
