Hi! My name is Makira Nolen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate located in Dallas, TX. I graduated from Amberton University with a MA in Professional Counseling with a specialty in youth, young adults, and families. I am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults (ages 13-35). I have experience in working with individuals, families, and groups with populations including children, youth, teenagers, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, and grief. We all need a little help sometimes navigating through life no matter who we are or what we're going through. Therapy is a journey, not a race.

Are you haunted by thoughts of living an inauthentic and meaningless life disconnected from your true self? Do past events intrude on the present, preventing you from moving forward, impairing your ability to have fulfilling relationships and eroding your self-esteem? Does the happy future you once envisioned feels like a distant memory? In the wake of this onslaught, you may feel as though you are drowning in a sea of despair, which you cannot escape. Take heart, although life’s challenges can feel insurmountable, struggling through them can promote growth in ways that ultimately make you wiser and your life more fulfilling.

I work with a broad range of clients, which may not seem connected, but inevitably it is. I enjoy working with kids, teens, young adults, moms, and couples. What I incorporate into my sessions is authenticity, humor, and a pragmatic approach. I often say "let's throw spaghetti at the wall and see what works". I love working with those are actively involved in the therapy process. It's a collaboration between myself and the client. I draw from several modalities, so the approach is tailored to each client. I enjoy couples, divorce/separation, neurodivergent people, PDA (in children) and failure to launch.

Many people do not realize that when life gets hard, it is a sign of strength to reach out for help. In my 20+ years of counseling couples, families, parents, and individuals, I have provided my clients with a safe environment to restore themselves and rediscover their strengths. I believe a primary focus of therapy is to create a supportive relationship with my clients to help them discover what is keeping them stuck, and help them move forward in achieving their goals.

When it comes to finding the right therapist, it can be really stressful and overwhelming especially for someone who has never had mental health services before. You may be dealing with work-life stress, noticed depression or anxiety symptoms that have started to affect your ability to get through the day and don't know how to ask or even look for help. I have over seven years of experience working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, anger management, and trauma and helping them identify personal goals for themselves to minimize these debilitating symptoms that can be quite consuming.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
