Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Tyler, TX

**I no longer accept private or commercial insurance.** My cash fees are $50 for telehealth sessions payable at the beginning of the session. I offer, when appropriate, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy approaches. I take a practical solutions focused approach to behavioral health care and addiction recovery.

Through her training as an EMDR therapist, Molly has become increasingly interested and passionate about trauma work, but also enjoys working with individuals (preteen and older), couples and families, with issues such as anxiety, depression, identity, interpersonal relationships, marital concerns, and more. She is a certified Prepare/Enrich provider, and has training in EMDR, CBT, DBT , and EFT.

Working from an attachment view point, I strive to provide nurturing and consistent care. I look at how the functioning of family system and caregivers shapes thought patterns, self-images, and behaviors. Through DBT , I explore how behaviors are shaped through attachments to caregivers as well as current relationships.

My name is Shanna Dominguez and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. You may be experiencing worry, fear, anxiety, depression or a variety of other emotions. Good news, those emotions can be managed, I believe there are two experts in the room: You are the expert of your life and I am the clinical expert. I have had the privilege of working with adults, couples, and adolescents. I use a variety of techniques and theories to guide my work with you depending on what fits your needs. I specialize in CBT and DBT methods. As humans, we not only want to feel understood but we want to understand ourselves. Why do we do the things we do?

We all need someone to hear our story, to respect our tears, and to help us be courageous as we walk the path toward healing. I stay present through your pain, hurt, and discovery. Trauma, doubt, and fear can easily consume our thoughts, and provoke emotional distress and a sense of loss. Beginning the processing step can feel scary, but it certainly doesn't have to be a journey you take alone. I am here, ready to hear your story and help you navigate these feelings and reconnect you with your authentic self. I work with teens, adults, families and couples. Let me know how I can help.

Welcome to my private practice! I'm so glad you found me. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore and grow. I believe that everyone has the ability to heal and change, and I'm here to support you on that journey. I understand that the thought of therapy might be daunting, but I promise to make it as easy and comfortable as possible. I like to keep things light and fun, while still being serious about your well-being. So, come as you are and let's get you started on feeling your best!

I believe that everyone goes through seasons in life. Some seasons may face more challenges and transitions than others. My goal is to work collaboratively with clients in a season of growth, hope, and new beginnings.

Life has its challenges. I am here to help you if you are feeling stuck. Whether you are struggling with grief, loss, depression, anxiety, marital problems, ADD, or other issues, I can help you. I can be an extra set of ears for you and I believe that therapy can be just the right thing for many people for a season. I am here to help you become the person you want to be. You don't have to be stuck any more. I encourage you to make the first step toward a better life. I am here for you.

You should be proud. It takes a significant level of strength to take the step of looking for a counselor. I applaud starting the process... but don't give up now! We all face challenges stages of the path of life - mental, physical, spiritual, relational; all of it. It can significantly help to find an understanding and caring professional who brings their heart, soul as well as training and a team model, to walk alongside of us along those challenges stages. My team and I would love to come alongside.

I love working with anyone that feels like something has not been going right for them, be it for a long time or just a little while. I enjoy working with people that have anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment difficulties and people that just are feeling, again, like something is off. I seek to both equip my clients with the skills and tools they need to more effectively get through their lives as well as address inner difficulties so that the quality and satisfaction of life can be increased.

I have worked for 14 years in the mental health field, during this time, I have learned how to help individuals that struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma.

To work with me means working with a person that is understanding, provides a down to earth approach, and allows for a safe environment. Whatever issue or need that brings you in, is one that we can work through collaboratively. Your life is a journey and I am only here to help guide you along the difficult paths. Everyone's journey is different so allow me to welcome you and provide goals necessary to help the journey be less difficult.

Traditional counseling has failed many of my clients. I am an extremely proactive strategic intervention coach and somatic trauma processing therapist who helps clients heal generational, childhood, and past relationship emotional wounds so as to reclaim their conditioned defense mechanisms and melt into new experiences of flow (where it takes minimal effort for us to be us). Understanding and processing the mechanisms of how we subconsciously defend ourselves can open us to moving into integration of our parts in a way that provides fresh clarity and energy in creating authentic/integrity relationships and a blooming life.

I enjoy working with the full life span, beginning at 2-years-old, through a wide variety of concerns. I consider it a deep honor to be entrusted on my clients’ paths to wellness and enjoy when clients are able to pursue wholeness, even when they have no words. Using art, play, music, breath work, mindfulness, animal-assisted therapy, EMDR, developmental theories, and other evidence-based treatments, I seek to approach clients with cultural humility and believe in utilizing my clients’ strengths in the journey toward healing.

No matter the reason or issue that has brought you to my profile - welcome and congrats on taking the first step in getting the help and support you need! There are so many reasons people seek out a therapists. Whatever your reason is and no matter how many times you may have tried to resolve it on your own, I hope you know how strong you are for not giving up! Resilience can be a strength but it doesn't have to be your only armor in your battles. Counseling can provide you more options. A great thing about counseling - it's for everyone because we all have needs and we could all use some support and/or help from time to time!
