Therapists in Richardson, TX

Anna Stubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (203446) and Certified Sex Therapist. Anna’s therapeutic focus and specialties include marriage and family, parenting, and the impact of trauma on the individual and their relationships. This includes issues related to foster and adoption, blended families, affair recovery, relational communication and intimacy, and family of origin. She is passionate about helping couples and families find healing and change by developing an understanding of each other’s needs.

Relationships are tough, even more with depression, anxiety, trauma or neurodiversity. Maybe you’ve gotten through tough times, but now are depleted. You were accepting of differences, but now lack patience, or perhaps betrayals, drinking, even social awkwardness became too much? I help adults improve communication, and learn to repair & forgive in relationships. It’s time you are heard, understood, cared for - even if affair repair or addictions are happening. My website outlines specialization in neurodiversity (ADHD, autism ) couples counseling. Let me guide you to stop those hurtful patterns, so healing & love are a priority.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to my practice. I am a bilingual/multicultural Family Therapist specializing in individual, couples and family psychotherapy maintaining a warm and welcoming private practice in Richardson, Texas. It is my goal to provide the highest quality psychotherapeutic and consultation services tailored to your unique and specific needs. I invite you to contact me today to discuss how to begin your new journey. I have flexible schedule to enhance our commitment to serve you. Whenever possible, same or next day appointments are available.

Are you struggling to adjust to unpleasant life changes, trauma, anxiety or stress? Are you a parent struggling to cope with the stress of raising children while balancing your own mental health needs? Is tapping into the present moment difficult? Our thoughts and feelings can, at times, feel like huge obstacles to overcome. My passion is helping clients find aspects within themselves capable of overcoming these obstacles, and cultivating a more fulling and present life.

Aging, death, break ups, brain injury, major health diagnosis, addiction, family conflict, and dozens of life's other challenges are accompanied by grief. Grief and loss is part of a universal human experience that, despite it's commonality, is just as difficult every time for every one of us. As much as we'd like for these feelings to just disappear they can cause us to feel overwhelmed and hopeless until we find a way to integrate them, not "get over" them. I offer telehealth visits to adults and older adults in Texas and am accepting new clients.

I specialize in treating adults, children & adolescents with OCD, anxiety & other mental and behavioral health issues using evidence-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT) strategies including exposure & response prevention (ERP). My work is guided by research on the most effective theory, approach, and strategies for OCD & anxiety. I am available for traditional outpatient therapy as well as more intensive "in vivo" treatment in your home, school, car, or wherever your symptoms are most problematic. I offer these non-traditional services because OCD & anxiety are most effectively treated wherever they "live" in your daily life.

I specialize in children ages three and up, adolescent, and adult therapy. I often deal with single parents, families going through a divorce, and children whose parents are divorced. To assist these clients, I take into consideration the struggles each client is going through. Emotional disturbance, behavior issues, as well as anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and depression, can also be addressed in individual therapy. Improving the quality of life for each client is the main goal of therapy. Guiding the way...through the storms of life.

Your strength is in your story, and my goal is to help you, or your child, share that story in meaningful ways that brings lasting change. Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming, but I believe you have within you what it takes to cultivate the changes you desire and find the happiness you deserve. I believe everyone, including children, when given a safe and judgment free environment, can find the confidence within to thrive, even when life gets messy. I want to encourage and help you, your children, and/or your family to discover the strengths that can carry you through whatever life throws your way.

Do you find that you have dissatisfaction with your life? Are your relationships strained? Is something wrong but you can't place what it is? Do you know what is wrong but just don't know how to fix it? Are your relationships not where you want them? Is your sex life not where you want it? Are you struggling with sexuality and/or gender issues? If find that you identify with any of these questions, Realistic Expectations, PLLC, can help you.

I provide client-centered and evidenced-based counseling and psychotherapy to individuals struggling with various life stressors, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and post-trauma stress. I also specialize in working with clients with acquired brain injuries (i.e. stroke and TBI), dementia, as well as individuals with chronic illnesses.

Overwhelmed. Hurting. Anxious. Stuck. These might be some emotions that you are experiencing right now, but know that you are not alone in this journey. Taking the first step in seeking change is incredibly brave and is a sign of strength. There is no single approach for counseling and everyone has their own unique struggles and goals for counseling. I operate from a collaborate, strength-based approach to promote resiliency, change, and growth.

Life can be unpredictable and challenging. You may need a place to work through your past and present, to get to your future. My clients can expect warmth, compassion, and unconditional acceptance as we create a space for healing and cultivate a path together for your journey. I believe that clients are the experts in their own experience and have all the tools within them to face life, sometimes you may need a helping hand to figure out how to best utilize those tools.

First off, I would like to acknowledge how brave you are for taking this first step. I strive to offer a welcoming and collaborative approach, ensuring that each client feels safe and supported as we navigate your healing journey together. My priority is to provide a comfortable and judgment-free environment where clients can freely express themselves and work towards boosting their self-esteem and confidence, ultimately enabling you to feel more equipped to navigate life’s challenges and feel an increased sense of happiness.

As a top honors graduate from Texas Wesleyan University, I have been trained by some of the best licensed professionals in the mental health field today. Having done my graduate practicum at Sante Center for Healing, I learned that treating clients from a holistic perspective gives them the skills they need in all areas to address their greatest concerns. As a client of mine, you will be asked to be an active participant in your therapy. The vast majority of my clients report more happiness and positive changes in their lives after only a short time as my client.

I have specialized in the evaluation and treatment of patients with chemical / environmental sensitivity and/or who have been exposed to neurotoxic substances for more than 30 years. I conduct neuropsychological evaluations for litigation and/or disability issues (private or Social Security disability). I also evaluate patients with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, MS and chronic pain. The goal of therapy is to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression associated with chronic physical illness and improve coping ability.                                                                

Whether you need brief supportive therapy or have wounds from the past that are impacting you today, it is my goal to be a safe place for you. I work collaboratively with clients for a treatment plan that considers their spiritual, psychological, biological and social dimensions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Christ-follower and have extensive experience helping clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, obsessions, grief, loss, anger, sense of self, relationships and spiritual issues. Additionally, I am passionate about coming alongside adults who have wounds that are affecting present day living.

I love helping individuals grow to their fullest potential, as they utilize tools that reside within. My experience includes working in Private Practice settings and Veteran Mental Health/Rehabilitation facility. Additional experience has been gained by working in adolescent residential treatment, and intensive outpatient. My counseling experience has given me a natural ability to work with individuals, groups, and families of any culture or background. I have the ability to meet individuals where they are in life and help implement tools to grow. My expertise includes working with Veterans adjusting back to civilian life, adults, and adolescents. I modify therapy for your specific needs.

Have you found yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, the affects of relational trauma, betrayal trauma, narcissistic abuse, grief & loss, or life transitions - you are not alone.  You did not expect to be here. . . and life does not have to stay this way. Supporting women through some of the most challenging moments in life is my passion. Offering collaborative, compassionate, and evidence based treatment, I strive to EMPOWER women to live an authentic and joyful life.

Is anxiety holding you back? Do you feel tortured trying to escape your fears or your thoughts? Are worries and self-criticisms leaving you feeling exhausted, disconnected, and missing out on what once mattered most to you? I understand this struggle. My work focuses on helping individuals learn the skills to take back their life. But I believe in going beyond just treating the symptoms on the surface - I want to help you get back in touch with what is truly meaningful and important in your life, and to be the best and most authentic version of you. Anxiety can be a barrier, let's work together and learn to overcome that barrier.
