Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists in Dallas, TX

Whether you have experienced something that has turned your life upside down or if you merely want help kick starting the next stage in your life, therapy can help. Individuals recovering from difficulties related to a traumatic brain injury, stroke, depression, anxiety, and individuals having difficulty managing life decisions (relationships, kids, employment) often have one thing in common: they're searching for strength to carry on with the next step in their lives. Some don't know what the next step is, and others know exactly what needs to be done; however, something is in the way. Therapy can help you FIND YOUR WAY.

Hi, I'm Brittany. I specialize in working with clients and their families after traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. As a certified brain-injury specialist, I work to support you in your adjustment to significant life changes. Adjustment after brain injury or spinal cord injury is a major life transition and I'm here to move through this journey with you and support you along the way. I also enjoy working with those experiencing other life transitions, such as new job, change in relationship status, or transitioning into and out of the workforce. I am licensed in both Texas and Colorado. I look forward to meeting you.

I am a board-certified Neuropsychologist through the American Board of Professional Psychology specializing in Psychological and Neuropsychological testing. I was the Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist on active duty in Department of Defense until retirement after 26 years total military service. As a retired U. S. Army Major, I administer Psychological testing for PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury. I administer testing for Dementia, Alzheimer’s, ADHD/ADD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety and other Psychological and Neuropsychological Disorders.

My goal is to enable clients to cope with life changes, learning differences, difficulties in thinking (cognitive deficits) and emotional instability in a supportive environment by learning self-management (mindfulness) and coping skills.

If you are having trouble dealing with relationship issues, or need a little help defining your direction in life, or balancing the seemingly overwhelming and endless daily stressors that lead to depression and anxiety, then I am the right person for you.

Are you looking for a psychological/neuropsychological evaluation and/or a medication free treatment for attention, sleep, migraine, anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, headache, or traumatic brain injury problems? Are you a struggling learner seeking ways to improve performance at school, sports or work? Do you have a history of autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, fetal alcohol syndrome, language and communication problems, Down’s Syndrome, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, concussion, stroke, memory difficulties, chronic illness, motor and balance coordination, developmental delay, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis?

I work with a diverse array of clients, including active and retired military, police, and other first responders, as well as victim/survivors of trauma, chronic illness, substance use, and the LGBTQ+ population. I have skills for the variety of concerns that my populations encounter, including, complex PTSD, trauma, severe anxiety, adjustment, re-integration, communication, TBI/ABIs, phobias, substance use, and mood dysregulation. Most importantly, I work with clients that come how they are, how they can, and with everything they have.

I am a Licensed Psychologist and School Psychologist. I am also owner and CEO of Carewright Clinical Services (www.carewright.org), a dynamic mental health company offering a variety of mental health services to child/adolescents, adults and seniors. As a psychologist, I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of mental and behavioral health disorders. In addition to psychotherapy, I administer a variety of psychological assessments including intelligence/psychoeducational, neuropsychological, forensic, immigration/bilingual, and presurgical evaluations for Spinal Cord Stimulator procedures and bariatric surgeries.

Neuropsychological evaluations can be helpful at any age. If you are struggling with your thinking abilities (attention, memory, or executive functioning), you may benefit from diagnostic clarity (is it ADHD? do I have dementia?). Testing can identify a pattern of cognitive strengths and weaknesses and help guide in treatment planning.

My ideal client is someone looking for greater self-exploration and seeking inner harmony. They want to be mentally and physically balanced while striving to be their best self. They want growth and maturation and to align with their greater purpose. They're looking for guidance by getting back connected with their inner source through the process of therapy and exploring their experiences. My ideal client is looking to be heard, understood, and attended to assuage emotional disturbances, life difficulties, and cognitive dissonances. I work with teens, young adults, adults, couples, and athletes.

Nothing in life is one size fits all; therapy is no exception. My first priority is to establish a trusting relationship with you, then together create goals tailored to your individual needs. As humans, we tend to shy away from uncomfortable, unwanted, or overwhelming feelings/thoughts. We all develop habits to cope; sometimes those habits may no longer be helpful. In a non-judgmental and safe environment, we will work together, unlock your potential and create the change you desire. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and fully trained in EMDR in Texas.

My clients are ideally willing to openly explore how current and past life stressors contribute to learned behavior patterns that may be ineffective and influence day-to-day suffering. I believe our life experiences influence us but do not have to define us or determine how we will function in the world. Additionally, we all have multiple identities, and we must learn to thrive in a world that is often ill-prepared to treat us with the respect and kindness we deserve. I understand the systemic obstacles often faced by people from diverse communities and seek to empower and support my clients.

Licensed in Texas, Oregon and California, my clinical background includes a robust, private practice with in depth expertise in working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, anger management, relationships and attachment disorders. In addition, I am a CISM credentialed provider, with a focus on individual and mass community trauma, and a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Specialist. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I held significant corporate positions at a Fortune 500 Company (IBM) and partnered with one of America's Largest Private Companies (New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc).

You’ve felt stressed, overworked, anxious, or sad before but this feels different. You can’t quite put your finger on it. You think today might be different, maybe you’ll feel like yourself again. It’s starting to become overwhelming. Maybe your work or relationships have yet to be impacted, or maybe they have. You begin to notice an overall negative outlook or feeling. Maybe you’re more irritable, feel more tired lately, have unusual physical sensations, or feel as though something terrible is going to happen. Many of my clients report feeling a sense of general unease without really understanding why.

Welcome! I’m glad you are here. My specialties include helping clients navigate life transitions, improve their relationships, and cope with chronic illness or injuries. During our work together, you can count on me to be present and supportive in your journey. I will be available to listen without judgment. We will work together to cultivate acceptance and compassion for your emotions, while also working to create meaningful change in patterns or behaviors that are no longer serving you.

My clients would describe me as compassionate, creative, and understanding. For therapy to work, it’s important the client truly feels heard trusts the process. I believe in empowering my clients through evidenced based approaches like Art Therapy, Attachment Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Person-Centered Therapy. My clients and I form genuine relationships and respect for each other, which yields really great results. I take a holistic, trauma informed approach in my work. I enjoy using the creative process alongside clients as they create fulfilling lives. I strongly believe that clients have the answers to their own healing.

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Texas (in person & virtual sessions) & Illinois (virtual only sessions) providing short and long-term therapy to adults (ages 18 and up). I have worked with individuals from all ranges of life including varying socio-economic status and different stages of life in settings like college counseling centers, community mental health, and forensic detention facilities. Some areas of interest to me are depression or difficult moods, troubling thought processes, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger management, recovery from trauma, and chronic relationship problems/marriage difficulties.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential for healthy and satisfying relationships in your life. While we cannot change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand how your past is impacting current challenges in your relationships and then work on solutions. We will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing healthier relationships.

Is past trauma holding you back from your true potential? Together, we will make space for you to explore what is holding you back, remove the barriers and re-write your narrative - one that feels true to you. We shape the narrative of our lives through our words, and often those narratives are outdated and hold us back from the life we are longing for, one full of love, connection, and peace. Instead of letting them control you, we will tap into your unique power to change the story. We will break old patterns and narratives, and replace them with ones that feel true to you.
