Adoption Therapists in Dallas, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist Supervisor and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist Supervisor. I consider it an honor and a privilege to walk alongside my clients in their journey of healing and restoration. I have experience working in pediatric hospitals, eating disorder treatment facilities, emergency shelters and outpatient counseling centers. My specialties include Play Therapy, Eating Disorder Recovery, Child/Adolescent Issues and Trauma. When working with tweens, teens and young adults, I often use activities such as props, games, music, and expressive arts in addition to traditional talk therapy.

I love helping clients find ways to cope with their depression and anxiety. Hopelessness and helplessness are two emotions that are damaging if not acknowledged and addressed. Everyone experiences some form of somber mood but when this mood is not addressed, it easily turns into a disorder that can be very hard to cope with on a daily basis. I want to help you with coping with this debilitating illness. It can be defeated but only through work. I have the tools to make it work for you.

Despite the vast amounts of challenges that life may throw our way, I truly believe that mental flexibility and perseverance may be cultivated by anyone who would seek it. It allows one to bend in the winds of change without breaking, while adjusting and evaluating new wisdoms and perspectives that may be applied to one's life situations. The mind of an individual can be as flexible as one's ability to imagine it to be, when given the support and permission to do so through my integrative and pragmatic approach to therapy.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in treatment for children and adolescents (including young adults up to age 25) and their families, especially regarding trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and mood disorders. I have an extensive history of working with issues related to history of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, OCD, and issues related to abuse, death, and divorce. My primary objective is to improve family functioning and overall quality of life. I am passionate about helping individuals and families work toward their vision of cohesion and happiness.

Just like going to the doctor, sometimes we need an emotional checkup. Counseling is an opportunity for you to work on yourself, relationships, goals, depression/anxiety, ADHD and other issues or diagnoses preventing you from living life as you wish to. Each session belongs to the client--it is your place to focus solely on you. My experience includes eight years of individual and family therapy. Additionally, I have 15 years of experience working with family dynamics in academic, learning disorders and life skills coaching as well as academic counseling.

English/Spanish services available. My experience as a therapist/counselor goes back at the school setting for 19 years, 12 as a K-12 school counselor. I also have over 3000 professional psychotherapy/counseling hours working with young adults and couples. My clients may be having difficulties with personal relationships, depression, anxiety, stresses of life, or workplace and or trauma. Psychotherapy is about helping people work through struggles and find balance in life. Christian, spiritual psychotherapy is available for clients who prefer a faith focus approach.

So many times I hear people say, "I'm just tired. There's never enough time, money..." Life does not have to be a constant tug of war with obligations from marriage, children, work and so many other things pulling from every direction. What's driving you to continue adding more to the overwhelming obligations you already have? Sometimes, we need a little help to understand unhealthy habits and to create balance. But asking for help can be difficult. Will you take this opportunity to reshape your life in a way that works better for you and your loved ones?

As a mental health professional, I understand how important it is to find the right therapist. As a Black Woman, I understand the unique challenges faced by Black and Brown communities when it comes to accessing mental health care. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive services to individuals from all backgrounds. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or simply seeking guidance on life's challenges, I am here to support you on your journey towards greater mental health and wellness.

I enjoy working clients from diverse populations but I particularly enjoy working with individuals from hispanic backgrounds. Being hispanic in America is definitely a different experience and sometimes stressful and I help my clients navigate these things. Whether its interpersonal issues with family, friends, relationships, or work I give my clients the tools to navigate major life transitions. I also work with individuals that struggles with anxiety and depression.

There are times that we feel a deep need for change, yet we are lost in how to get from here to there. I support individuals, couples and families in their efforts to grow and evolve. I help them ask deeper questions about what matters to them and how they want to live their lives.

You just aren't able to cope well anymore. Your feelings of depression, bouts of anxiety are getting worse. If you've never done counseling before, the thought of finding a counselor only increases anxiety. If you are searching for a new therapist, you doubt your capacity to start over. ("How will this time be any different?") Your hope for any positive change is waning. Your partner, your family, your work—all of it is less manageable and less meaningful. Even your faith feels lifeless. The coping mechanisms that worked in the past, don't work anymore. Reaching out for help is your Next Right Thing.
