Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Dallas County, TX

No one gets to adulthood without living through painful experiences. You may be feeling the effects of a single traumatic incident (sexual victimization, a tragic natural disaster, or the sudden loss of a dear one), or you may be struggling with the weight of years of hurtful events. The term "trauma" seems like a buzzword these days, but for some of us, trauma has deeply influenced our lives. When we experience suffering, we can feel like it becomes our identity. But it doesn't have to be that way. Healing from trauma -- single incident or multiple events -- is possible.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate (LPC-Associate) supervised by Russ Bartee, PH.D, LPC-S. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a Child development minor from Oklahoma State University before obtaining my Masters from Texas Wesleyan University. I offer counseling to adolescent, couples, adults & families. I aim to create a collaborative experience and will encourage your personal values and stories to guide our journey to new insights. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, trust, and collaboration drawing from the models of Narrative therapy, CBT, & Dialectical behavior therapy.

Therapy can help us all navigate the river of life. I have had success working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, coping with agitation, addictions, codependency, relationship and interpersonal issues, building self-esteem and self-worth, coping with crisis and grief issues. I enjoy helping clients navigate transitions in life such as, marriage, divorce, career or other curve balls often thrown at us. Many of my clients are working through a past history of abuse. I have a strong belief in the mind body connection, so I also find success working with individuals experiencing pain and fatigue.

With over a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through adult ADHD assessments, trauma processing using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and couples counseling that integrates Gottman principles with CPT. My one-session ADHD assessments provide immediate clarity and actionable insights, helping you navigate ADHD with personalized strategies. For those dealing with trauma, my approach to CPT focuses on understanding and challenging negative beliefs, empowering you to heal and regain control over your life. In couples counseling, I work with partners where ADHD or trauma impacts their relationship.

Do you ever feel like your emotions are so intense that you either blow up or shut down completely? This might make you feel like you’re ‘doing too much,’ even when you seem to have it all together on the outside. If this sounds familiar, it might be time to learn how to manage your emotions instead of letting them manage you—and I can help! I specialize in working with Black women and women of color aged 25-40, helping them navigate life’s challenges. I support women who struggle with managing relationships, emotional dysregulation, intellectualizing their feelings, trusting themselves, & depression, anxiety, ADHD, & trauma.

Sometimes, we can feel lost in life, or not know which way to move forward toward growth and healing. I believe that each of us can heal, have peace and joy in our own lives. I help others connect to their own inner strengths to reach their full potential. I am passionate about helping others in their personal journeys in a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental environment. I support clients to empower themselves by listening to their own inner voice, and to live in a way that is authentic to themselves. It is an honor to support others in their process of self-discovery, growth and change.

I get it! Everything feels “off.” You can’t quite put your finger on it. It feels like if you say it out loud, you’ll seem crazy or unstable. Staying quiet when you’re struggling leaves you feeling stuck, but you don’t have to be. That’s what I’m here for. Let’s sort through your problems, thoughts, questions, and wonderings together and find our way to feeling well.

You know that saying “Never judge a book by its cover”? Well, I can honestly say that the cover of my book does not match the pages! The pages in my book of life have equipped me with the experience to connect with ALL people. In my book, I’ve encountered many conflicts. I’ve been the antagonist and the protagonist and I’m just in the rising action. Because my pages are not all filled with butterflies and sunshine, I’ve had to work to find ways to help equip myself with daily coping skills. I am happy to be in a position to share my experience with others through therapy and educational opportunities.

Hi there! I'm Ashley. I'm a therapist in Texas offering individual and couples counseling to adults and teens. I am passionate about providing trauma-focused, culturally competent mental health care to clients of all identities. I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD/complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, addiction and first responder trauma. Often my clients feel stuck in their symptoms, which hold them back from enjoying comfort in their daily lives. These symptoms could include panic attacks, dissociative episodes, feeling disconnected from others, or waves of sadness, all of which can lead to unhealthy self-medication.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress or struggling with difficult emotions? Do you find yourself stuck in patterns that seem impossible to break? You're not alone. Taking the first step towards seeking support can be daunting, but it's also incredibly brave. Do you want to improve your overall well-being, find greater fulfillment and meaning in life, and develop more effective coping strategies? Maybe you want to improve your relationships, manage stress better, overcome past traumas, or achieve personal and professional goals.

I believe the job of therapy is to challenge, empower and support people so the highest quality of life is possible. The term "quality of life" is often used to describe the goal for "end of life" issues. The goal can be the highest quality of life for anyone at any age. Living in the crisis of extreme emotional pain, instability, addiction or extended grief is perhaps the lowest quality of life. To some, this state may seem like "all there is" or "normal" based on their past experience. Therapy can teach a new way to live.

My ideal client is one who is struggling with a traumatic past or current situations. These clients want to move forward to a life of freedom and joy.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, disordered eating, and self-harm in adults and adolescents. I aim to guide you through conflict resolution and support your healing journey from trauma.

Feeling unseen? Do you feel like no one understands you? Are you tired of the negative self-talk? Want to get out of your own way? I know how trauma, anxiety, and depression can consume you. I can support you through this and empower you with the skills to get your life back.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Lord by coming alongside and counseling the hurting and broken. Christ and His word continue to challenge, encourage, comfort and change me. As an ambassador for Christ, I want to point others towards the God of all comfort by connecting their pain to the hope we have in our Lord that is found in scripture. I have a variety of experience in different mental health settings ranging from inpatient, residential, in-home family therapy, judicial, intensive outpatient, and outpatient treatment. I have worked locally and internationally and in the church setting.

"How can therapy help me? What can you tell me that I don’t already know?”- these are ideas that are fairly common for many people considering therapy. After all, society tells us that “emotions are yucky” and can be difficult to face- so what can therapy do for you that will actually benefit you? I believe that therapy is not about the therapist “telling you” about yourself, but is instead to explore what is holding you back from reaching your full potential.
