I grew up in Sulphur Springs, and I trained at Indiana Wesleyan University before moving back to my home city! I know that sometimes we all encounter grief and hardships, we feel lost and alone, unable to navigate the next step. You may try multiple avenues to find relief, talking to friends or family, seeking help in books, and often none of it seems to provide any lasting results. Your plans don't come to fruition and you may find yourself empty, anxious, depressed and overwhelmed. I work with stressed and depressed individuals and confused couples.

With previous experiences working with adolescents through the geriatric population, I have experience with clients through the entire lifespan. My approach centers on fostering growth and wellness through grace, understanding, and utilizing individual strengths. Some areas of interest include the LGBTQ+ community, the chronic pain/illness community, as well as clients working through life changes, codependency, depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. I strongly believe that through understanding ourselves and our personal life stories that we can navigate the challenges we encounter in life and come out of them stronger.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is excessive worry keeping you up at night? Are you tired of making the same mistakes time and again? Life can present a host of challenges. When it does, it is important to have the support of a skilled professional who can help you navigate life's difficulties. For over 15 years, I have worked with individuals, couples, children, and families who find themselves in difficult places. My work includes helping those who experience distress from excessive worry, depression, grief, or anger.

My purpose is to guide and facilitate my clients in discovering the goodness and tenderness that we all possess inside ourselves. I work from a mindfulness-based practice of "being with what is," while teaching clients how to utilize their body as an ally in their healing journey. I provide counseling for individuals, couples, teens and families. In person or via Skype or phone.

Getting help to untangle and navigate through this time is the first step. I can help you have better relationships within your family and with others. Finding your authentic self and expressing your needs brings benefits to your life in so many ways. Parenting, communicating with a significant other, and dealing with stress, anxiety or depression can be challenging. Together we can work to reduce or eliminate problematic patterns of behavior preventing you from living the life you desire.

I help adults and adolescents who are dealing with depression, anxiety, life stressors, chronic illness, and relationship concerns. Through my clinical work, I understand that living with mental health symptoms impacts everything one does in daily life. Sometimes the result might be irritability and sadness, while at other times things can feel overwhelming and anxiety inducing. With specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), health psychology and mood issues, I help clients identify their unique needs and establish achievable goals.

I provide sexual addiction help in an atmosphere that is encouraging and accepting and meet the client and his or her family where they are. My specialty is sexual addiction, and I am a Dallas area Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) trained personally by Dr Patrick Carnes. I treat drug and alcohol dependence, and associated trauma, grief, and depression as well. I treat cybersex addiction, pornography addiction, multiple affairs, and other sexually compulsive behavior. Sexual addiction, like other addictions, affects the whole family system, especially the partner. I am a CPTT, Certified Partner Trauma Therapist as well.

I understand that your perception is your reality. My name is Elina Kharmats, and I have more than a decade of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor working with individuals, couples, and families. I practice integrative therapy, which combines elements from different therapeutic modalities, and personalize the treatment according to the needs of each client. Some of these approaches include person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems therapy, and gestalt therapy, among others.

Picking the right therapist isn’t easy. It’s not like some things where you can just google “Best Vacuum” and get a top ten list. If only it worked that way! Then again, maybe it shouldn’t. Therapy is a relationship and like all relationships, not everyone is a good match. We do get a sense when someone is (potentially at least!) right, and trusting that gut feeling is a good place to start. Honestly, I think reading something like this can give you an ok first impression, but nothing beats actually hearing someone’s voice, seeing their face. Then you can really know if you feel safe and are able to be yourself. That's so important.

With over 19 years of experience providing a broad range of mental health services, my current practice strongly emphasizes providing therapeutic interventions for children with behavioral and emotional challenges, while also welcoming the opportunity to work with families, individuals and couples needing counseling services. Over the course of my career, I have gained experience in many elements of the mental health field. Some of those include clinical intake, general counseling, marital counseling, crisis intervention, crisis management, facilitating psychoeducational groups, and child behavior management.

***Now offering telehealth services*** Counseling Center of North Texas has multiple therapists with the education, experience, and desire to help you or a loved one with whatever obstacles you may face including conflict with family, relationships, school, and/or work, depression, anxiety, ADHD and other mental health disorders, grief/trauma, stressful life events, adoptions, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and self-harm/other unhealthy coping skills. Christian counseling is available. We see children 3 and up, adolescents, adults, and seniors for individual, marital, family, and group counseling.

If we are being honest, change can be a scary thing to approach. Yet I would argue that we all have areas of our lives that we would like to change or improve. Sometimes we simply want to understand ourselves better, sometimes we want to improve our relationships, and still other times we have serious concerns with our mood, anxiety, or current behavioral patterns. I use a personable, relatable approach to therapy to assist in navigating some of the discomfort inherent in the therapeutic process. This is a place of non-judgement, and I am open and accepting of all persons and identities.
