Therapists in Denton County, TX

Deciding to look for a therapist can be tough. From everyday stress to important life transitions, events, and trauma, counseling is helpful for anyone. Through exploring barriers that you put up for your self and what life throws at you, you can achieve emotional health. During counseling, I believe it is necessary and effective to challenge clients on unhelpful thoughts and behaviors they hold. This directive approach can result in feelings of empowerment and self-understanding.

Invest in yourself. You are worth it! It is not about being connected. It is about feeling connected. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, Iowa and Colorado and Utah. I received a Master of Science in Social Work at The University of Texas at Arlington in 2014. My undergraduate degree is in Applied Gerontology. My professional experience includes inpatient psychiatric treatment and emergency departments working with adults from age 18-95. I have engaged clients in Cognitive behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused and other modalities as appropriate. Not living the life you want? I Care. Let's Talk!

You’re not sure when it happened, but you find yourself feeling like your partner is just your roommate who sleeps in the same bed. Arguments are increasing in frequency and intimacy is minimal or non-existent. Difficult conflict can lead to words and actions that hurt us at our deepest core. The growing emotional distance can leave us feeling lonely, helpless, and desperate for connection, safety, and security. You want to feel like you did all those years ago with your partner and feel safe and secure in your relationship again. I can help you.

Adulting isn't always easy. Sometimes, we feel stuck, discouraged, burnt out, and isolated as we carry that weight alone. I'm here to navigate these challenges with you, providing tailored therapeutic strategies, solutions, skills, and dedication. I firmly believe everyone deserves to experience freedom, clarity, healing, and a fantastic quality of life they love.

In today's fast-paced society, it is hard to feel heard. Life can be tough and struggles are challenging to overcome alone. My top priority is to provide you with a safe space to find hope and relief. I believe clients play an expert role in their life. My job is to listen and make observations that will help you gain perspective. I value the combined effort between client and counselor. Together we will explore how you see the world and construct a treatment plan based on your specific goals. My approaches to counseling include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered and solution focused therapy.

Awareness around the importance of mental health has come a long way in the last few decades. However, many people still maintain a taboo around its acceptance as a vital factor in an individual’s quality of life. I want to change that. Moving from Pakistan to the United States for my undergraduate studies has provided me with a deep understanding of working with people from diverse backgrounds, and a profound appreciation of all the cultures that make up this country. I am therefore, passionate about providing a validating space for clients from all gender, sexual, and cultural identities.

Perhaps you’re at a point where you are frustrated and tired of starting over with a new therapist. You’re tired of telling your story over and over again and not experiencing any relief. You’re tired of taking all these medications and being numb. And you’re tired of your past trauma disrupting your everyday life. Perhaps you’re wondering if you’re ever going to heal and feel better. You CAN heal. The therapist’s job is to help facilitate the healing process that lies within you. To heal from trauma, you don’t have to talk about the details of what has happened to you (unless you find it helpful).

I specialize in treating adults, adolescents, and children who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD. I also have experience in treating Bipolar Disorder and substance use. As an experienced play therapist, I am trained to work with children, focusing on trauma treatment using EMDR. I enjoy involving caregivers in the process through parent-child interaction therapy. My priority is understanding your expectations and helping you achieve your goals.

I work with my clients to build confidence and autonomy in my sessions to speak freely. No struggle is too big or too small. We work on creating larger goals at first, while also looking into smaller steps to reach those larger goals. My top priority is client comfort and ensuring a safe space for each person in the therapeutic environment. Just be yourself and come to the session, you've already done an amazing job.
