Therapists in Melissa, TX

I work with Exult Healthcare. I am currently accepting applications for LPCa supervision. I specialize in teen & adult mood disorders, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, and developing social support needs for the neurodiverse. These days people are so much more connected, but this means there are more eyes than ever on a person. That is stressful. There are expectations from so many sources now. Unseen, unspoken issues of abuse, family conflict, and peer relations are also prevalent in this age. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults understand their world and manage the sometimes complex emotions that are present as a result.

I approach therapy as a partnership with my clients in which you are the ultimate decision-maker and I work with you to clear away obstacles and identify opportunities. My background in teaching and learning strategies as an educator and therapist help you to achieve your goals quickly and effectively. I use a non-judgemental approach in therapy that utilizes active listening in order to better understand your needs. My goal is to work on your treatment plan and goals in a way that does not cause dependency on me as the therapist but independence in your thoughts and behaviors. It is common for cli

I am a licensed professional counselor with +10 years of clinical experience. I've worked with adults, families, children, teenagers, and populations from 0-17 years of age. My area of specialties includes Adolescents/Teens, Anxiety, Anger Management, Women's Issues, and Depression. My theoretical approaches are Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Trauma Focused, Client-Centered Therapy, and Coaching. I believe in providing a safe and stable environment for my clients to feel calm and at ease during each session to help them identify their inner potential, heal, and work through their traumas.

Finding the right therapist can feel like an impossible task when you're struggling. I can help get you started quickly in the right direction. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to help you determine whether my style is a good fit for you. You are not alone in this. Each of our paths may look different but change and growth is always possible. Let me help you get where you want to go. I will work with you to help you define your goals and take steps that allow for the health and well-being you deserve.

I'm a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to therapy, and I haven't found a client that I couldn't work with yet! I can work with a client who knows exactly what they want out of therapy, and I can also work with clients who aren't sure of how to move forward. I make sure that I will only work as hard as you do, so I love working with people who want to be pushed to make progress. For me, as long a client wants to come to therapy, I will do what I can to help you.

Relationships can be difficult to navigate, both with others and with oneself, and not having the right tools can make a difficult job even more challenging. Add to this day-to-day life events and unprocessed trauma, and it can be easy to feel like things will not get better, leaving you feeling empty and hopeless. I want to be there on your journey by holding the space for you, helping you process your thoughts and feelings, learning who you are and what you need, and supporting you as you learn new skills, strengthen the ones you already have, process your trauma safely, and develop and/or nurture healthy relationships.

As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you deserve a provider who fully welcomes and affirms your identities, values, and lived experiences. Whether you are coming to therapy to explore gender, sexuality, or neurodiversity, work through relationship stressors or body image/eating issues, or heal from the pains of religious-based trauma, you will be seen, heard, and deeply valued in this space. In this collaborative process, we’ll work together to identify your goals and strengths to tailor your care in a client-focused way. From the start, I hope to meet you where you are at and ultimately, inspire personal growth and restoration.

Something seems–off. Your energy is low, or you’re staying in bed just a little bit longer. It’s easier for you to listen to your inner critic than to accept compassion and empathy. You can’t remember the last time you felt relaxed or content with yourself. It’s harder to find the words to express your emotions and experience. You don’t ask for help since you are the one that no one has to worry about, because you take care of everyone else. You are in need of a different kind of support, one that helps you heal and learn to live again. Email me today for more information!

It is my honor to work closely with LGBTQ clients and their loved ones. I especially enjoy working with those exploring their gender identity and looking for an affirming place to go on their self-discovery journey. I often work with clients who have experienced religious trauma, intergenerational trauma, sexual trauma, and emotional neglect. Seeking support is hard, so you already have a lot to be proud of! My ongoing goal is to create a practice routed in LGBTQ affirmation, antiracism, antifascism, and radical love for my fellow human.

I specialize in treating a broad range of struggles stemming from trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Before exploring your trauma, I work with you to build emotional resources and integrate various modalities to help you handle distressing emotions, thoughts, feelings, and memories more adaptively. This comprehensive approach strengthens your coping skills and creates a solid foundation for deeper trauma work. My practice is dedicated to offering compassionate, client-centered therapy for individuals facing issues arising from past trauma.

Hello! I'm Mark Richardson (He/They), a Licensed Master of Social Work based in Fort Worth, TX. I've dedicated my career to working with "difficult" populations since 2015. Having a rather multifaceted identity, I prioritize acceptance in therapy, drawn from my own experiences of not always feeling seen and understood. Before private practice, I worked in an inpatient setting, primarily with adolescent clients with diagnoses of substance use disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. My areas of focus lie in substance use disorders, ADHD, autism, agoraphobia, homelessness, LGBTQIA+ issues, grief and anxiety.

Chris embodies social justice by utilizing an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and intersectional approach in the therapy space. To promote transparency and share how they navigate the world, Chris is Latinx/e biracial, queer, nonbinary/agender, neurodivergent, fat/larger-bodied person. Chris is also in an interracial marriage with their Black husband, and they have one dog together. Chris continues to further their learning and understanding within therapy by centering disabled, queer, transgender, and BIPOC folk in the research they read and the educational materials they engage with.

Sometimes life can get in the way of truly living, and I will meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be. I am passionate about using a variety of approaches and methods to provide culturally responsive and holistic care that is tailored to meet the individual needs of each client. I understand the power of lived experience and am committed to creating a welcoming space for all clients to access the support they need, especially those who may not have one.

You deserve an expansive and liberated life. Many of my clients are exploring what it means to be their most authentic self, and how to deal with the barriers that stand in their way. They're looking for a place to be seen and understood, and to be able to let down their guard. I see clients who are navigating identity, sexuality, and belonging; those with trauma histories, anxiety, and depression, looking for relief and a deeper healing that takes them to a place of ease and fulfillment. They may have tried other solutions, but feel stuck and eager for a lasting and meaningful change.

I work with adolescents, adults, and elders that are needing help with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, identity, self-worth, grief and loss, life transitions, and drug abuse.

As a queer Black, Indigenous therapist, I specialize in queer-affirmative therapy, sex therapy, racial & sexual identity formation, minority stress, and intergenerational trauma. I collaborate with clients through a social justice-oriented, culturally responsive, and systems-informed framework while rooted in a decolonial-based approach. This typically looks like working with individual adults who may be QTBIPOC, neurodiverse, navigating systemic inequities & oppression, struggling with life transitions, or someone experiencing the heaviness and despair of human suffering that may manifest as grief, loss, depression, and/or anxiety.
