HeadFirst Counseling is a private counseling center offering therapy services for children, adolescents, teens, young adults, and parents in Dallas, TX. HeadFirst Counseling was founded as an alternative to stuffy, formal therapy offices where the focus is placed on the problem. At HeadFirst, the focus is on each client's strengths and innate abilities to find creative solutions to his or her current concerns. We provide a holistic approach to therapy looking at the whole person to enable children, teens, adults, and families to develop insight, empathy, and problem solving skills.
