Sexual Abuse Therapists in Frisco, TX

Carl Rogers once said, "When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me." We all experience times in our lives where we just need to be heard, to be validated, to find some direction. It is my belief that a therapeutic relationship with a genuine therapist who provides an authentic, nonjudgmental, safe environment is the most important factor for growth and positive outcomes.

Hello there, I'm Heidi. My calling for the past 7 years has been to help teens and young adults who have experienced child abuse, dating violence & sexual assault. I also have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and self-esteem.

I am currently accepting clients! My name is Darian (she/her) and I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. Currently, I am also earning a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology at Texas Woman's University. I enjoy working with people who have experienced complex trauma and people who are experiencing shame, anxiety, depression, and relational disconnection. I also enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and am dedicated to creating a supportive environment that fosters connection, empowerment, and lasting change.

I was once told, "Everyone has problems, but those who are successful in life are the ones who got help." I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with a Masters degree from the University of North Texas. I truly enjoy helping others find personal success and healing. Prior to being in private practice, I spent four years as a counselor at Grapevine Valley Hope, a residential chemical dependency treatment center, helping adults begin to overcome their addictions to drugs and alcohol. My personal style is down-to-earth, non-judgmental & accepting but also direct.

I consider it an honor and privilege to bear witness to your therapeutic process. I understand that therapy can be one of the most vulnerable times in your life. Even though you may feel frightened and unsure, allow me to rest your mind at ease as I facilitate your healing journey. No matter the issue that you face, I believe in the restorative power of a safe, non-judgmental space individualized to your particular needs. You deserve to be supported and cared for, and to know that you don't have to walk your path alone.

The counseling process can feel overwhelming at times. Through providing a safe, empowering, and positive healing environment, my goal is to help guide my clients through the process. I specialized in LGBTQ issues such as gender journeys and sexual identity exploration, domestic violence issues, and working with sexual assault survivors. I can help you to build your toolbox to manage and work through overwhelming emotions and life's traumas and uncertainties.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) and a School Counselor with over 25+ years of experience and specializing in working with individuals, couples and families. We will work collaboratively together to help you find alternative and healthy ways to cope with disorders and symptoms such as anxiety (panic attacks), depression, grief/loss, and other mental health issues and addictions which can hinder success in personal relationships, schools/academics and/or employment settings. I am extensively trained in Trauma Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Therapies.

My style of therapy encompasses the idea of motivating through speaking your truth. I reach people with my honest, genuine, and real sense of intuition about challenges they face. My goal for clients is to increase personal awareness of problematic behaviors they want to change and then engage in finding new ways to incorporate change in their lives with struggling with power, control, depression, trauma, relationship problems, loss of identity, stillbirth, grief, and divorce. I completed my PhD through researching and treating emotion avoidance strategies with the population of individuals with PNES.

Experience fear of rejection or abandonment? Has a pattern of bad relationships left you feeling like you just can’t get it right? Do you lay in bed at night with racing thoughts? Feel like you can’t control worry? If you have anxiety or complex trauma (C-PTSD), you may feel like you’re not enough, yet somehow, too much. You fear something is wrong with you. But you're not broken, and you don’t have to live this way. Let's work to improve your relationship with yourself and with others. My goal is to help you find clarity of thought, peace of mind, and ways to improve your life from the inside out. It's not too late to begin again.

Love shouldn’t hurt. If you find yourself stressed out, overwhelmed, and anxious in your relationships, I can help. Do you worry that you’re not enough or that you’re sometimes too much? Do you live in fear of rejection or abandonment? Do you lay in bed at night with racing thoughts, wondering if your partner really loves you or that they'll leave you?

I specialize in anxiety, trauma and PTSD, & complex trauma (C-PTSD / CPTSD), and anxious attachment style.

Each person is unique and so is what they come in with. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. In fact, I pull from different treatment protocols to find what best fits you. This isn't a place where I tell you what to do or give advice, but a place where I join in with you in your process and we collaborate together to meet your needs. My goal is for therapy to be as efficient as possible, working through what we need to each session and maximizing a felt connection by undoing aloneness.

Do you feel stuck? Are you finding yourself repeating the same behaviors despite your best efforts to change? Are you trying to find purpose and peace while life circumstances continue to throw you curve balls? You are not alone in this! We all have times during our lives where we can use some extra support, a safe place to explore our feelings and process our personal worlds without the fear of rejection or judgment. You have the choice to make changes to live a healthier, happier life.

Every person has a unique perspective and lived experience when coming into therapy. In understanding just how different each individual situation can be, I use a variety of treatment protocols to tailor a treatment plan that best fits your situation. My goal is to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients to explore and navigate their challenges. I believe that relief can often be found in processing your thoughts and by understanding what keeps you bound in unhealthy cycles.

Are you stressed, distressed or hurting? I have over 30 years of experience and knowledge to help you through your struggles. As an LPC I can show you the coping skills. As a retired psychiatric nurse (RN) I understand the mind /body connection (also medications and their effects). I also have a PhD from a well-known seminary if you're interested in the spiritual side of issues (no preaching). I use CBT, DBT, and trauma focused CBT with the goal of empowering clients to improve themselves emotionally and spiritually by enrichment of positive beliefs, effective communication, and grieving through loss.

Life gets difficult sometimes, and I believe we weren’t created to navigate it alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey towards overcoming life’s challenges. You can trust me to provide a nonjudgmental and safe environment to process your experiences and figure out how to move forward. Moving forward requires change, and I believe we all have the capacity for change. My aim is to empower you to make the necessary decisions and changes to achieve your goals. That is what our time together is all about – helping you work towards your goals. I believe change and growth are always possible, but never easy.
