Marriage Counseling Therapists in Fort Worth, TX

I work with individuals and couples who seek to make personal improvements. I help in setting healthy boundaries, managing emotions, and adjusting communication patterns. Some of the concerns I can assist with include anxiety, depression, marital concerns, life transitions, breakups, and other relationship problems.

I get you. You are struggling with conflict, distress, and poor communication. Your relationship with your partner or your family is suffering and you don’t know how to improve it. You’re struggling to overcome difficulties of your past, gain a sense of self-worth, develop new relationship patterns, and become your best self. You are overwhelmed with complex trauma or co-dependency or depression or anxiety. If you are an executive, you have some very specific challenges and could use some empathy and emotional support as well as help clarifying goals, setting objectives, and gaining self-awareness.

Life hitting you harder than you can bounce back? Life as a first responder taking a toll? I'd like to help. My goal and privilege as a therapist is to assist others in improving all aspects of their lives. I believe in the innate capacity of the human spirit to overcome adversity and experience healing. I employ a variety of approaches depending on your needs, and tailor a treatment plan to assist you on this journey. While trained and teaching a variety of interventions and therapies, I specialize in trauma therapy (specifically EMDR Therapy), relationship counseling, and short-term solution-focused work.

We as humans tend to get stuck in unhealthy cycles, and have a difficult time seeing a way out. Many of us want to get unstuck, but struggle to see how. There also tends to be a lack of motivation, because at a certain point we have tried so many times and failed. We wonder if it's worth it to keep trying. These unhealthy cycles may cause depression, anxiety, alcohol dependency, relational or marital issues, or an overall confusion about our life's direction and purpose. Many of these unhealthy cycles may also be made worse because of past trauma that has never been dealt with. I am here to help the person who wants to get unstuck.

My name is Desiree Peoples. I specialize in couples counseling with a focus on pre- marital and marital counseling. Whether you’re getting ready to say “I do” or perhaps your seasoned marriage is facing trying times, my goal is to aid in your ability to communicate, provide strategies for discussing and resolving potential conflicts. During sessions, I strive to provide a safe and neutral environment that will allow both parties to be heard. Marriage is more than the change of your living situation and last name, for you are two separate individuals who are coming together as one.

When we feel stuck in a problem it can feel like we are never going to get out of it. It could feel like there is unending cycles that are too difficult to break and sometimes feel hopeless. Does this sound familiar? Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, relational issue, or personal struggle? The transitions, in life, that individuals are working to navigate can seem impossible. I work with young adults/adults who deal with stress, anxiety, depression, relational conflict, and other mental health issues.

Reaching out takes great courage, especially when someone is seeking guidance. Life has the tendency to cause people to cope in ways that are not necessarily beneficial. They may develop problems like depression or anxiety as a result of stressors. Or, they may turn towards abusing substances as a way to change how they feel. Reaching out for help during this time may be scary and seem impossible. My goal, as a therapist, is to come alongside my clients so that they don’t walk alone through whatever may be troubling them. I hope to be able to help anyone struggling to deal with life on life’s terms.

The year we have all had has been unprecedented. People who have never sought mental health services before are finding themselves in need of emotional support and therapeutic intervention. People are dealing with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts as well as a multitude of life stressors. I have worked in mental health services for the past five years and saw firsthand how the pressures of today are causing individuals and families to find themselves at odds with their own world view. Some want answers on how to get to a new form of normalcy. It is clear that the world has changed and what worked before, may not work now.

Each of us desires more MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS. According to the APA, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide. STRESS and its cousins: ANXIETY and DEPRESSION, invade our lives physically, mentally and spiritually and impact our relationships. I help my clients learn to respond to STRESS in a healthier manner and thus, become taken over by their emotions less often. I love helping people create space for more JOY, AUTHENTICITY, INTIMACY, and HUMANITY.

I believe that the family is a vital space in which to foster peace, support, and safety; and that experiences in childhood inform our behaviors and how we relate to others. I work to create a safe space for individuals, couples, and families to grow and be empowered to make desired changes in their lives.
