Sexual Abuse Therapists in Dallas, TX

Going through life with all of our day to day occurrences plus the unexpected ones can cause our vision to become clouded. We've all been there- I've been there. You don't have to sort it out on your own. Sometimes your child or teen's challenges are due to circumstances we had no control over like traumas or other events and sometimes it is due to issues within our families and each issue impacts an individual differently- this is why restoring and managing relationships is often a focus of therapy. I can understand that desire for a renewed mind; free from the stress and worry of the world, to be able to live in peace and order.

My name is Misty East and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing therapy to adolescents, families, couples and the geriatric population for over 15 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns. My passion has been working with clients with trauma histories (sexual, physical and emotional). I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, family issues and relationship problems from a strength based and if requested, a Christian based approach.

The lives we live can be entangled with the problem-saturated stories we tell ourselves. You are the expert in your life and have the story that holds that truth. Together we can work to re-story your life so you can have the preferred story you want for your life. I also offer EMDR to help your brain heal so that the present trauma will fade into the background, allowing you to re-build your preferred future. I have clinical experience working with diagnoses such as dissociative identity disorder, bipolar, anxiety, PTSD, sexual trauma/issues, trauma, panic disorders, and various mood disorders.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change" --Carl Rogers. "A child will not change until the child is free not to change" -- Garry Landreth.

Therapy goals are a joint process between the client and myself, the therapist. I assist with identifying presenting problems, while we collaborate on identifying goals to address the problems according to the client. Sometimes a client may just need some guidance on life decisions, or support getting through a tough time. Whatever the journey I'm here to help the client navigate through this process. Clients may need to see a new way of doing things in order to get to the next phase of life.

Hi, I am Lillian, and I am so happy that you found me. I want to listen, and I want to be here for you. When we face challenges and adversities, we hope that they would not defeat us, and we wish to come out stronger. It’s never that easy, because we are growing with the challenges of disappointment, sadness, anxiety, isolation, pain, and self-doubt. But why do we seek help? We still want to take opportunities to become better versions of ourselves, and we want to be capable and enough. I wish to see you, to understand you, and to care about you. You will trust yourself more, and you will love yourself more.

Are you struggling to come to terms with your sexual or gender identity? Do you find that you have more questions than answers about who you are and who you love lately? Maybe you need validation that who you are is who you are meant to be.

Whatever your situation is, my empathetic and affirming approach can help you explore these questions and more in depth.

Have you ever lost hope for the possibility of healing or genuine understanding from others? It’s human to want to feel seen for who we are, but often the risk or lived experience of harm and rejection can cause us to hide the most vulnerable (and connecting) parts of ourselves. Imagine for a moment what it would be like to feel authentically seen and embraced—to practice self-compassion and celebrate every part of yourself.

Struggling to connect with your authentic self? Looking for a sense of peace or contentment? When you have positive feelings about yourself, you experience daily joy, have better relationships and increase performance. When you encounter a block to these positive feelings, you may experience anxiety, depression, and be unsatisfied with relationships. We work together to help you find their best self, navigate intimacy, tackle communication issues & bridge other relationships gaps. We also work together to overcome those deeper blocks that prevent us from making lasting change.

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.

I am a first-generation, Latinx, Mexican American female. As someone who has struggled, fought, and overcome, I consider it a privilege to assist others in finding their way through their journey. I am a dancer, an artist, a creator, a mother, a wife, a survivor, a counselor, and a Ph.D. student in marriage and family therapy- aspects that assist me in the creative connection that I believe therapy to be. Counseling is an art form in that a person is given permission to gain access to what is most personal, private, and possibly broken within.

The first thing I would want clients of mine to know is no matter what battle they are facing, they are not alone. Whether you struggle with the darkness of depression or feel your anxiety is all-consuming, know that you are seen, heard, and validated. I aim to assure my clients that reaching out for help is one of the best things you can do and by working together, we can accomplish set goals to get you on track to living an all-around mentally happier and healthier life. I strive to help you understand that you are not defined by your mental health struggles and that things do get better, even when that may seem impossible.

Our ability to grow and develop is almost limitless. While we may not easily recognize it, we all have strengths and abilities to aid in meeting our goals. Through helping uncover those strengths and abilities, while providing in depth psychoeducation in attachment theory, mind/body and nervous system function, and regulation techniques, I assist people in navigating challenges such as complex trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, chronic stress, behavioral problems, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
