Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Southlake, TX

My clinical experience in working with Veterans, Active-Duty Military Service members and their families, and the general adult population has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to ensure that your treatment is tailored to your specific needs. I will work with you to develop goals and treat target areas to improve your quality of life. I will provide you with treatment that will enhance your ability to cope with life’s challenges and hardships. I work with couples presenting with problems in communication, infidelity, a lack of mutual understanding to include adjustment to deployments, transitions, grief, and trust issues.

In this busy fast paced world of expectations and managing several roles at once, we all need time to decompress, focus, and nurture ourselves. A safe place to heal, process, and work through difficult emotions and problem solve is crucial. I am here to support and assist in working through the difficulty of those emotions. I work with adolescents, young adults and individuals who encounter challenges & life struggles and are ready to develop the ability to cope effectively. Together we reach alternative solutions to find peace within self and the ability to manage successfully through the roadblocks we encounter in life.

I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy for panic attacks, PTSD, and anger management. With seven years of experience working with Special Operators and their families at the Special Operations Command Korea, as well as training in health psychology, neurobiology research, and trauma-focused psychotherapy, I bring extensive expertise to my practice. Recently, I have authored a book, and my clinical expertise is also reflected in my book on panic attacks, anger, and anxiety. You may read free sample chapters by visiting Amazon Books.

Using the best approach tailored to you, we will work through past issues that may be impeding your life while at the same time giving you the skills to live a fuller life today.

Hello fellow veterans! My name is Cathryn McHenry and I am a trauma-informed marriage and family therapist. Knowing what you want and knowing how to get it, are two very different things, and some obstacles can seem impossible to conquer on your own. That's when having a trail guide is most valuable. After establishing a core foundation of trust and respect, we can scope out that landscape together and create a plan. When life becomes difficult to navigate, I’m here to walk with you.

My approach is totally tailored to you. It is as unique as you are. You are yourself and there is only one like you- YOU! It is non-judgmental in nature and I will meet you where you are and will go at a pace that is comfortable for you. Therefore, I take the time to truly understand you, your thought processes, your personality, and unique life experiences. I am interested in honoring your past and how it affects your present. Clearing out the “clutter” you may have gathered will help you reach a clean slate. Then the potential for a new level of creating, clarity and consciousness can be added to your future.

Does your anxiety get in the way of doing things? Would you like to improve your relationships with a partner, family, friends, or coworkers? Do you feel down, unmotivated, or not as interested in things as you used to be? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, there is hope! You are not alone in these experiences, and many people have changed their lives through therapy. Therapy is a journey that we take together. There are many paths we can choose from to go in the direction you desire. Everyone is different, and your path is tailored to your needs, preferences, and values.

My client population includes children, adolescents and adults. I work with individuals as well as families. I facilitate numerous groups and skills training curriculum in various topics including adolescent first offenders, anger management, divorce and separation, parenting, and teen issues.

Are you feeling stuck by some life circumstance or feel as though you need help getting through a particularly troubling season of life? I help my clients work on their individual goals by meeting the client where they are at and working with them to find solutions to whatever issues are holding them back. I primarily work with clients struggling with trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, dual-diagnoses (substance abuse in combination with other mental health diagnoses/presentations) for the past 12 years.

Are you looking for therapy or counseling that is different than traditional therapy? We're here to help you with the root cause of your struggles, while also addressing your symptoms. Our proactive therapy leads to real long lasting solutions. We provide customized care designed to the specific mental health needs of all ages from children to pre-teens/teens to adults, couples, and families. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the challenges that are a result of these experiences or areas where you may feel "stuck" and need additional guidance to persevere.
