Therapists in Dallas, TX

Now accepting new clients! Life can be down right hard. It becomes exhausting to manage how you feel and how you sometimes respond. Crying easily, worrying, and feeling alone, angry, overwhelmed, and sad are all common signs of depression and anxiety. I want you to know you are not alone. I am here to support you and help you through such a challenging time. It is my desire to assist you in learning how to respond appropriately to triggers for better emotional control and to address unresolved trauma that has left you feeling low, empty, and ashamed. I will incorporate biblical/Christian principles, if requested.

Accepting NEW Clients- Did you just experience infidelity? Do you wish your family can go back to how it was? Are you desperate to get your child(ren) help? If this is you, remember that you can’t change the things of the past but you can start today for a better tomorrow. You deserve to live a life of peace, love, happiness, and I'm here to tell you that here is hope! Let's get you on the road to your goals. We will work together to get there! I also provide Clinical Supervision for students that aspire to reach clinical licensure (LCSW) to further help others.

Are there times when you feel alone? Have you experienced periods of sadness and frustration while attempting to do your best each day? Are you taking care of others and paying attention to your needs last? Are you struggling to make life changing decisions? Are you dealing with difficult relationships, stress, depression, anxiety or trauma? Sometimes you can feel uncomfortable opening up to the people closest to you. Did you know that talking to a therapist can feel as comfortable as chatting with a close friend?

Are you a woman feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life, struggling with infertility, anxiety, stress or low self-esteem? Are you navigating a major life transition, career change, relationship challenge or are you on a personal growth journey? It is easy to feel overwhelmed and alone. It helps to find a compassionate and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and find practical solutions to improve your mental and emotional well-being.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, afraid, anxious, and more down than usual? Have you been feeling lost and have a desire and need to remember who you are? Are you hungry for change but maybe also a little scared? I bet you wish you had the right tools to navigate through this difficult time and period of adjustment and you just need a little help to work through this time. Maybe you wish someone would listen and acknowledge the difficult things you are going through.

Life can be stressful, overwhelming and even confusing. Sometimes we need to talk to someone who is understanding of our fears, concerns, and problems but also can shine a light to our inner strengths to overcome these obstacles. That is why I created, Shining Lights Counseling LLC to provide a supportive, safe environment which will empower you to explore and challenge the areas of your life that you desire to change. I will help you discover your inner strengths that will help you live a better, more enriched life.

People generally come to therapy because there is some area of their life in which they are stuck and in pain. I practice from an “attachment” perspective which is the key to unlocking a different way of understanding yourself and your interactions with others, opening a pathway to practical and relational healing. My office is a no-blame/no-shame environment. I provide both traditional talk therapy as well as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) to individuals (age 8 and up), couples, and families just 20 miles SE of Dallas. Because of my experience as an adoptive dad, foster and adoptive families are a focus of my practice.

I am passionate about helping clients find their strengths and work towards finding a solution to their problems. I know the first step in asking for help can be challenging and I help them to explore the possibility of counseling and how it can help with the issues they may be experiencing. Most people have obstacles at some point in life, and they have taken the first steps to acknowledge them and work towards overcoming them.

Hello! I'm Aaron Hunt. What are your roots planted in (your past, family and other important relationships, trauma, addictions, habits and other patterns)? Your roots direct where your energy and attention flows. Where is your attention focusing energy in your life? Are you creating the life you want with open-handed acceptance or is your energy being spent fearfully trying to resist and avoid a life you don't want? If you're exhausted trying to find solutions with your head, maybe it's time to give attention to what you're feeling inside instead of doing things to run from it.

From time to time we all need help growing into a better place. In life we experience joy & suffering, success & failure, health & loss. When you suffer physically, emotionally, or spiritually- there is hope, greater potential awaiting- calling you. Through non-judgmental compassionate listening, being understood, encouraged, & learning new ways of responding to life, you can experience healing and hope. Together we'll gain insight into your struggles, nourish your strengths, acquire useful tools, skills, & upward mobility- for positive lasting changes in your life.

Helping clients find their authentic self is my passion. Trauma, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, depression and more can cause people to lose themself.

As we walk through the pains, struggles and frustrations of life, my clients are able to see themselves for who they are and who they want to be. Freedom, peace, self-confidence and joy are found.

I have been found to be very effective in conducting mental health/substance abuse interventions and therapy. I treat individuals that present with persistent mental illness to impaired professionals including lawyers, pilots, entrepreneurs and other high-achieving individuals who are experiencing difficulty managing their careers and relationships due to dual diagnosis, psychiatric disorder, demands of stress and all types of addictions. With several years of inpatient, outpatient, and clinic experience, I become known for being able to identify and treat the real problem. Let's work together, you truly can feel better!

Whether you need to learn new skills and make big changes in a brief period of time, or work through some longer standing problems, I'm here for you.

Whether it is relationship problems, depression, anxiety, or changes in unhealthy behaviors such as addiction, I help clients find balance and regain control in their life. My approach utilizes traditional cognitive behavioral methods to achieve balance in mind, body and spirit, and encourages them to engage in a healthy supportive community.

Are you struggling with understanding why certain events or patterns are happening in your life? Whether it's with relationships, personal life events, or even just the day-to-day things, it can sometimes be difficult for us to see ourselves with 20/20 vision. This is where I can help. By carefully examining the past, working mindfully with the present, and aiming at the future together we can break patterns, change perspectives and grow emotionally.

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.
